Cragside, Kingswear, Devon

Painted a soft sky blue in contrast with it’s verdant surroundings, this beautiful, statuesque home immediately captures the imagination. It has a storybook charm, set against the backdrop of the Dart estuary.

With its private entrance and slightly elevated position, the house enjoys exceptional, uninterrupted views across the creek and river to Dartmouth, creating an ever-changing canvas of light, water and colour.

Inside, the home unfolds across several levels, each space thoughtfully designed and full of character. A traditional-style front door allows access to this lovely home via a handy porch. From there we are first drawn to the bright, spacious Sitting Room, where expansive bay windows frame the spectacular river views. A multi-fuel stove, nestled into a traditional fireplace, adds warmth and a cosy focal point for winter evenings.

Adjacent to the Sitting Room is the generous Principal Bedroom Suite, complete with a spacious En-suite Bathroom, excellent storage and French doors opening onto a private Courtyard, perfect for quiet mornings with coffee and the sounds of birdsong.

Downstairs, the heart of the home reveals itself in a large Kitchen/Dining Room, where a contemporary twist on classic shaker cabinetry sets the stage for family meals and entertaining. The space flows naturally out to a sunny Terrace, ideal for alfresco dining or relaxing in the Devon sunshine.

A second En-Suite Bedroom and Utility space complete this level.

Upstairs, further living space awaits, with two additional Bedrooms, a generous Family Bathroom, another Kitchen and a second Sitting Room, graced by bay windows and far-reaching river views.

At the very top, the converted loft offers a delightful Family Room, featuring a clever dormer with a fully opening window to create a balcony-like effect. From here, the views are simply breathtaking.

Outside, the Garden is tiered and thoughtfully landscaped. A large, elevated decked Terrace enjoys sunshine throughout the day in summer and offers the perfect setting for soaking in the views.

There’s also a charming space for a keen gardener to potter, plant, and unwind as well as a level lawned area - ideal for children and pets to bask in the sunshine.

Though currently arranged for flexible living, this is a home that naturally lends itself to being restored as a substantial, elegant Victorian residence. Its scale, character, and position make it a truly rare offering in one of South Devon’s most sought-after waterside villages.

A house with heart, charm, and storybook beauty waiting for its next chapter.
