Unique holiday home, Dartmouth, river views, water views, contemporary

Summary

Beautifully placed in the centre of Dartmouth on a road which leads to Dartmouth Castle. Set over four floors, this truly special home sits just above Bayards Cove and is within easy reach of all that Dartmouth has to offer. Originally built in the 18th century and rebuilt in 1853, it is steeped in history but now affords contemporary family living with a glorious sky room overlooking the River Dart. This house is the perfect place for a relaxing time away.


Living spaces

This much-loved home is anything but ordinary. The entry-level living area is styled in maritime blues and crisp whites with a log burner and plush sofas. A modern Shaker-style kitchen makes mealtimes a breeze, while the dining area gives you panoramic views of the river and Kingswear. There's also a Nespresso machine to give your morning coffee an extra zing.

Stairs lead up to the top floor and a fabulous second living area - a sky room in the eaves with a Juliet balcony giving you even more incredible views. And, underscoring the town's maritime heritage, you'll see ships timbers in the roof, including a mast.


Entertainment

There's high-speed fibre broadband - great for watching your favourite streaming services on one of the three smart TVs. There's also Sky Q premium satellite TV (including Sky Sports channels).


Bedrooms and bathrooms

Downstairs from the living area, enjoy a soothing night's sleep in the two double bedrooms and a twin bedroom, each styled in fawn pinks and whites.

The stylish theme continues into the contemporary en suite shower room off the master bedroom and the family bathroom with a bath and walk-in shower - a refreshing start ahead of the day's adventures.

There's also an additional cloakroom WC near the king-size bedroom.


Outside

Outside spaces are rare among the close-knit buildings of historic Dartmouth, but at The Admiralty Wash House, there are more stunning views to be had from the sun-trap patio and decking as you enjoy al fresco dining in the glorious Devon sunshine in the private terrace garden. And, during the ever-popular Royal Regatta week, you have a prime seat for the finishing line.


Parking

The narrow streets of this historic nautical town make parking a challenge, but we'll provide you with a permit to park in council car parks across the South Hams district, including Dartmouth's main car park in Mayor's Avenue and the Park & Ride facility on the edge of town. The Mayors Avenue Car Park permit does not guarantee a parking space, and it can get very busy during the summer and special events, such as the Royal Regatta week (during which the car park is closed).


Pets

Dogs are welcome to enjoy your holiday, too. Two small-to-medium-sized dogs or one large dog are permitted.


ACCESSIBILITY - Please note that access to this property is via numerous steps, some of which are uneven. Please also be aware that the property is set on three levels.
