About this property
Views over Dartmouth Estuary
Summary:
With stunning views from the living room and private garden as well as private on-site parking, 6 & 7 School Steps has all the key elements for a fabulous holiday in Dartmouth year-round. You're a short walk from the River Dart and the historic town centre. Take in the coastal air on the private terrace with both open-air and covered areas and a stone pizza oven. This reverse-level holiday home suits families or couples looking to enjoy this beautiful riverside town or the wider South Hams.
Accommodation:
The front door opens from the parking area to a small landing with stairs down into the open-plan living area. The kitchen is well equipped with an electric oven and gas hob as well as a dishwasher, fridge, and microwave. At the rear of the kitchen is a utility room with a washing machine, tumble dryer, and freezer, as well as stairs down to the bedrooms, bathroom and garden.
In dining area comfortably seats six, while the living area includes a log burner, sofas, TV and additional window seating to take advantage of the unspoilt views out towards the mouth of the river and towards Kingswear.
Stairs from the kitchen take you down to the ground-floor hallway with access to the garden. Here, you'll find the family bathroom with a bath and overhead shower. The master bedroom overlooking the garden has a double bed and built-in space for clothes.
The single bedroom is accessed both from the master bedroom and the second staircase in the living area. The third bedroom at the front has excellent views from its dual-aspect windows.
There's central heating throughout, as well as a wood-burning stove (guests need to supply their own logs)
Outside:
There is a covered patio area with a built-in BBQ and garden furniture, as well as a small grassy lawn that truly makes the most of the views. The garden is beautifully presented with mature shrubs and climbing plants and is the perfect spot to relax and watch boats come and go.
Parking:
At the front of the property is a parking bay for one medium size car. Longer vehicles may hang over the parking bay onto the pavement.
Nearby:
It is possible to get to the town centre via School Steps or via Crowthers Hill, It's about a 5-minute walk down (but a bit longer on the way back up) In Dartmouth you will find a selection of shops and restaurants as well as pubs, cafes and galleries. On the embankment, you will find ferries to Kingswear, or a longer walk will take you to the South West Coast Path, which runs out the mouth of the river past Dartmouth Castle. Blackpool Sands is the closest beach, a 5-minute drive away in the village of Stoke Fleming.
Availability:
In the peak season ( July, and August), we need to keep to a Friday changeover and a minimum stay of 7 nights' stay. However, please do contact us with any requests you may have, and we will accommodate where possible, especially for bookings at late notice.
Outside the peak season, we don't need to keep to a Friday changeover and do offer short breaks.
Unfortunately, due to the layout of the property, we do not feel the property is suitable for children under 5.
