Seven Bells

About this property

Seven Bells is a welcoming three-bedroom apartment set across two levels in the heart of Dartmouth, Devon. Ideally placed for families and friends seeking a base close to the River Dart, the coast and the town’s amenities. After parking in Dartmouth, make the short walk through the town to South Ford Road, where the property sits along one of Dartmouth’s characterful narrow streets. Pass through the wooden gate and descend the steep stone steps to the entrance, ready to settle into your Devon getaway. Step inside through the porch and turn into the sitting room, where two leather sofas offer somewhere to stretch out after your journey, switch on the TV for an easy-going evening..

When you fancy a little time to yourself, pick up a book before heading downstairs to discover the kitchen/diner. Here, natural wooden flooring accompanies a well-equipped cooking space where you can put the double oven and hob to work preparing a family favourite, load the dishwasher afterwards and gather around the dining table, which seats six, to share dinner and make plans for tomorrow. A utility/conservatory provides access towards the garden, making it easy to step outside when the Devon sunshine appears. When the day draws to a close, choose from three bedrooms. On the entrance level, one double bedroom offers a welcome place to unwind, while the bunk room is well suited to younger members of the family.

Downstairs, a second double bedroom has the added benefit of an en-suite shower room, so you can start the morning beneath a refreshing shower before heading out for the day. The family bathroom gives the rest of the group the choice between a soak in the bath or a rinse beneath the shower over. Outside, take your morning coffee into the rear three-tiered garden, settle at the table and chairs or spend an afternoon on the decking before firing up the barbecue for dinner in the open air. When you are ready to explore, the pub and shop are both a short stroll away, the River Dart is within easy reach, and the beach is just over a mile from the property.

Spend a day discovering Dartmouth itself, strolling beside the River Dart, browsing the town’s boutiques, restaurants and galleries, and taking in the estuary surroundings. For another change of scene, make the journey to Totnes, where you can explore this well-known South Devon town before returning towards the coast. Further afield, Dartmoor National Park provides a striking contrast to days beside the water, inviting you to pull on your walking boots, discover its open landscapes and make a day of exploring the Devon countryside. After adventures beside the river, along the coast or amid the landscapes of Devon, return to Seven Bells for an evening together in the heart of Dartmouth.

Abberley is a quaint, historic village resting between Stockton on Teme and Astley. The village is known for its Saxon roots and two spectacular churches, St Michael's Church dating back to the 12th-century and the picturesque St Mary's Church surrounded by peaceful countryside. There are a choice of attractions including Abberley Ridge for pleasant woodland walks with spectacular views, as well as Abberley Clock Tower. Dining options include The Manor Arms Pub, serving delicious meals with fabulous outdoor dining areas overlooking the rolling hills. Within easy reach of the village is the lively market town of Bewdley where you can find further attractions and amenities, such as the iconic Severn Valley Railway and West Midlands Safari Park or further on to Drakelow Tunnels and Harvington Hall with historic stories waiting to be discovered.
