About this property
School Steps - Modern Coastal Cottage - Great view over the river and out to sea
Light and airy this newly renovated property is situated in a central location, close to all the amenities that Dartmouth has to offer but tucked away up School Steps, which is a quiet secluded location. There are 54 steps in all but the reward is the view, of the sea, river, castle and Kingswear.
Our property is an old coastal cottage with a modern twist. It provides the perfect location to sit and take in the river life, the steam trains or as a base to explore the areas many attractions.
You access property through front door, which leads to a Hallway, with a downstairs shower room, perfect for coming straight in from the beach! From the Hallway you can either go upstairs or you can go into our sitting room, with feature fireplace and breath-taking views over the river and out to sea. Our very well-appointed kitchen is a great place to entertain with a large table making the most of the views. Upstairs we have one Master bedroom, with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, this is accessed by a separate staircase that leads from the kitchen. Upstairs there is also great twin room and a further double room, which are accessed by the main hall stairway. There is a large family bathroom, with a freestanding bath. All of our bedrooms have smart TVs and comfortable beds.
Our family house is a great base for a stay in Dartmouth
