Description
Cormorants occupies an enviable position in the much-admired coastal village of Kingswear, on the tranquil banks of the River Dart. This contemporary detached home has been thoughtfully designed to embrace its exceptional surroundings, with living spaces oriented to capture uninterrupted vistas across Waterhead Creek, the river itself, and the rolling green hills beyond.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with the first floor given entirely to open, light-filled living. Here, semi-vaulted ceilings lift the sense of volume, while wide sliding doors draw the eye outward to the ever-changing water views. The Terrace extends the Living Space, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out, ideal for quiet mornings or relaxed evening gatherings as the light shifts over the landscape.
The Kitchen is generous in both scale and function, perfectly placed for entertaining or family life, with direct access to the Dining Room as well as a well-planned Utility Room. This, in turn, opens onto a sheltered rear Patio and tiered Decking. A thoughtfully positioned Seating Area here enjoys a peaceful outlook across the creek, offering a private retreat for an afternoon in the sun.
On the ground floor, the Principal Bedroom is a calm sanctuary, featuring a modern En-suite Shower Room, a surprise walk-in wardrobe, and the charm of a unique arched window framing water views. Two further double Bedrooms, each with its own captivating outlook, are complemented by a spacious Family Bath and Shower Room. A fourth Bedroom provides flexibility for guests, a Study, or a Hobby Space, while discreet storage solutions and a separate WC complete this level.
Beyond the main house, a double Garage with an electric roller door provides much-sought-after secure parking. Above, a fully self-contained annexe offers a triple-aspect open-plan room with a Kitchenette and a separate Shower Room. This adaptable space would suit a Home Office, Studio, Guest Accommodation or potential rental opportunity, all with the independence of its own entrance.
Practical considerations have been well met, with a resin Driveway providing parking for two large vehicles and discreetly positioned outdoor storage.
