Something quite (a lot) different....
Extremly stylish, comfortable residence. Certainly not a sparse holiday home!
Classic period property benefiting from a commanding position and great river views from upper floors. The house is a late 19th Century Sea Captain’s
residence that has been refurbished in recent years to a good standard throughout whilst retaining many fine original features. The house offers spacious,
comfortable accommodation and is an ideal base in the town for two families or up to three couples. Gas-fired central heating and hot water.
Strictly no smokers or pets permitted. River views and views to Kingswear from first and second floor rooms and rear garden. All bedrooms ensuite.

LOCATION The house is approximately 5 minutes walk up from embankment and centre of Dartmouth and is set back some 25m or so from a quiet street running above and parallel to the river. The Start Bay coastline can be reached quickly and easily by car with Blackpool Sands beach just 4 miles away and Slapton beach another 5 minutes approx..   

ENTRANCE From the gate, the house is approached via a combination of steps (approx 20 steps) and path leading to the verandah-covered front entrance. The front door leads into a hallway off which are two bedrooms, a ‘snug’/sitting room, and stairs to the first floor.
