Kingswear is renowned for its beauty and appeal, situated on the sunny east bank of the River Dart. This village, with its colourful properties cascading down the hillside, is one of the most sought-after locations in the South West. A short ferry ride across the river brings you to the historic town of Dartmouth, which is rich in charm and character, with a variety of shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions. The village itself is well-served with amenities including a primary school, church, post office, general store, two public houses, a marina, yacht club, and a steam railway.

The property is accessed via steps from Higher Contour Road, entering in to a welcoming entrance hall with large storage cupboard. To the ground floor, there is a versatile large bedroom overlooking the frontage with the views beyond, and the added benefit of a cleverly installed ensuite shower room . Stairs rise to the first floor where you are greeted by a light-filled lounge with laminate flooring and a decorative feature fireplace. The room is a perfect space to relax and enjoy the stunning views. On this floor, there is also a separate WC, a very useful utility cupboard (with plumbing), and a door leading out to the rear terraced garden. The well-equipped and spacious kitchen/diner is well presented and boasts a range of wall and base units, with a pantry store and a view out rear garden.

The second floor accommodates three generous double bedrooms. The master bedroom, set to the front benefits from the spectacular river views and a smart ensuite shower room. The other two bedrooms are both well proportioned with views over the front and rear respectively. The bathroom is fitted with a modern white suite, including a shower over the bath and adjacent basin, offering a fresh and functional space. Throughout the property, natural light flows in, creating a bright and airy atmosphere, and the thoughtful layout provides a comfortable living environment.

Outside, the property offers desirable outdoor space, including a level front garden deck and a terraced rear garden. While the gardens may require some attention, they offer a fantastic opportunity to create a tranquil outdoor retreat or a space for alfresco dining. The elevated position of the property ensures that you can enjoy the surrounding views while relaxing in the garden.
