Dart Views

About this property

Dart Views offers stunning views from the top deck of the garden out to sea and across the River Dart. From the bright and sunny lounge, you can also see over roofs to Kingswear’s pretty, coloured houses and more views of the river activity.

Dartmouth's boutiques, pubs, restaurants and tea rooms, as well as the river itself are just 10 minutes walk away.

This is a cosy, renovated, terraced cottage in ‘Above Town’, a quiet narrow road that runs parallel to the river Dart. Dart Views is set back from the road up a narrow path.

It is designed to be pet friendly with no carpets, a handy gravel area up in the garden, emergency dog supplies and a dog visitors book for fun.

Walkers are well catered for, with good walks straight from the front door, a washer/dryer machine, washing line, hooks for drying clothes and a full-size bath.

Romantic couples will enjoy the log burner for winter days, sheepskin throws and cooks will enjoy a well-equipped kitchen.

Immediately outside the kitchen door is an enclosed, private patio deck with night lighting, a dining table, parasol & seating, ideal for al fresco dining and chats about your day. It has a lockable gate to keep your pooch nearby.

This is an upside-down house. On the first floor is the bright and sunny open plan area with a high vaulted ceiling and a large picture window for making the most of the breathtaking views.

The comfortable lounge area has a double sofa, two leather chairs, smart TV with complimentary Netflix, comfortable new dining table & 4 chairs and a coffee table. There are also games, a yoga mat, binoculars and a log basket.

The terraced, planted garden was professionally landscaped and awarded Small Garden of the Year by the British Association of Landscape Industries.

The second bedroom has two 3ft beds, ample pillows, cushions, throws, warm bedside rugs, side tables, drawers, hanging storage and central heating. There is bright lighting and cosy lamps from Bert & Buoy, a local Dartmouth artist to support low natural daylight.

Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the stunning Start Bay coastline, 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 popular events such as the annual Dart Music Festival, Dartmouth Food Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta. This historic town boasts interesting landmarks, such as Dartmouth Castle, the Britannia Royal Naval College, and the National Trust’s Greenway House just a short ferry ride away. 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 the rolling countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat or ferry trip across to Kingswear, on to Brixham, or down the river to the village of Dittisham. For those seeking sandy beaches, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular beaches just a stone's throw from Dartmouth.
