Perfect for a family, friends or two couples, this exceptional apartment is on the top floor of a period building in Kingswear and has views to die for from its heighty position. Kingswear is a charming village, known for its prominent castle and delightful steam train to Paignton, and for being just a short and scenic ferry ride from Dartmouth, one of South Devon’s most popular towns. Here you will find pretty, historic streets, a choice of lovely places to eat and a variety of art galleries and independent shops. When you feel like exploring further you can catch a ferry for a day trip to Torquay, Salcombe or Totnes, stride out on the South West Coast Path – which offers 35 walks within 10 miles of Dartmouth, or drive 5.5 miles to the National Trust’s Greenway house and garden, the atmospheric former holiday home of author Agatha Christie.
In the months of May through to November why not attend one of the many local events and festivals in the area like the Dartmouth Music Festival, Dartmouth Royal Regatta, Dartmouth Food Festival, Torbay Air Show, Brixham Pirate Festival, Devon County Show.
Accessed via a shared hallway and a flight of stairs, this comfortable second-floor apartment has a gorgeous, timber-floored living space that runs the length of the apartment, full of light from its windows at each end. The lounge area has floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall, glazed bi-fold doors that lead to a balcony and offer fabulous views over Dartmouth’s marina and the river, and in the centre is a handsome dining table and four chairs. At the opposite end, a well-designed kitchen boasts painted, Shaker-style cabinets and all the appliances and equipment necessary for stress-free cooking, whether quick snacks or gourmet meals of local produce. On the same level are the two appealing bedrooms: a king-size with an en-suite shower room and a super-king-size (twin on request), plus a bright, spacious bathroom.
A delightful balcony leads directly off the lounge area, with two folding chairs (stored beneath the sofa) for you to relax and enjoy the beautiful views.
