Driftwood

About this property

Driftwood is a splendid ground-floor apartment resting in Dartmouth, Devon, boasting sea views, a furnished terrace and designated off-road parking for two cars. With contemporary interiors and the coast within easy reach, this retreat is a fitting choice for a couple or small family looking to experience South Devon.

Enter the open-plan living space and let the sea provide the backdrop to your stay, with French windows drawing your gaze out towards the water. The kitchen comes well equipped for lingering breakfasts or preparing dinner, with a wine chiller ready to keep your chosen bottle at the right temperature. Gather around the dining table before settling into the sitting area for an evening in front of the TV.

When sunshine beckons, open the French windows and step onto the terrace, where furniture provides a spot for drinks accompanied by that sea view. Later, freshen up with a soak in the bath or step beneath the separate walk-in shower before retiring to the king-size bedroom, which also has a trundle suitable for a small child.

Dartmouth itself provides plenty to fill your itinerary, with the shop and pub close by and the beach within reach. Spend time exploring this characterful waterside town, taking in its coastal setting before visiting Dartmouth Castle, a striking historic landmark overlooking the entrance to the Dart Estuary. From here, cross the River Dart to Kingswear, where you can admire the scenery from the opposite bank and experience another side of South Devon. Continue around the coast to Brixham, where days can be spent wandering around its characterful harbour and soaking up the maritime atmosphere. For a change from the coast, journey inland to Totnes, a historic market town offering another setting to explore. With historic landmarks, harbour scenery and South Devon towns all waiting to be discovered, return to the terrace and watch the coastal outlook from Driftwood.

Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, along with the Dartmouth Food Festival held every October. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blue Flag Award winner Blackpool Sands, and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular and just a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.
