Description

Smugglers Cottage has been the subject of many artists' works and is an idyllic, 'chocolate box' thatched cottage which dates from the 17th century; this gem of a Grade II listed home occupies one of the most beautiful settings in the village. Up until the 18th century, the cottage was used as the village coal store and a fishermen's retreat, and even though it has been modernised in recent years, there is still an abundance of original features including exposed beams, slate floors, and original fireplaces. The ground floor accommodation comprises a welcoming and spacious reception hall, a gorgeous sitting room with woodburning stove, and a family room. Both reception rooms have flagstone flooring and window seats overlooking the river. In addition is a dining room with exposed stone walls, stone flooring, and a fireplace, and a newly fitted kitchen which is well-equipped with a hob, oven, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, and washer/dryer. The first floor comprises a generous main bedroom with doors opening to a terrace, three further
bedrooms, a bathroom, and a shower room.

Smugglers Cottage sits in an enviable waterside setting on banks of the River Dart, with waterside terraces and direct water access. At low tide, the foreshore/beach provides parking for the cottage. The remainder of the gardens are largely woodland, with mature shrubs and trees. There is a stone shed and a two-storey boathouse, with potential for a home office/ games room on the first floor.

The South Hams is arguably one of the most sought-after waterfront locations in the UK with an uncommonly temperate climate and superb golden beaches. Dittisham remains one of the most sought-after villages in the South Hams, located on the banks of the River Dart and renowned for its gorgeous, eclectic mix of cottages, thatched houses, and quaint lanes. Smugglers Cottage is situated in a no through location, in the heart of the village and is within walking distance of the two pubs, post office/ general store, waterside café and the popular sailing club. There is a wonderful village green, known as The Ham, which runs along the riverbank.

Dartmouth is about 6 miles by road, or about 20 minutes by boat, and offers a superb and varied selection of shops, galleries, pubs and restaurants, with further amenities including a leisure centre, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, three supermarkets, health centre, cinema, library, and both primary and secondary schooling. Totnes is about 8 miles away and has a mainline rail link to London Paddington taking about 2 hours and 40 minutes, and the A38, which in turn leads to the M5 is about 19 miles away.
