Church Road, Dartmouth

Little Borringdon is a beautifully presented detached home occupying an elevated position, enjoying outstanding southerly facing views across Dartmouth, the River Dart, Kingswear, out to sea, and across the surrounding rolling countryside.

Modernised in recent years, Little Borringdon offers light, spacious, and flexible accommodation, ideally suited as either a full-time residence or an exceptional “turn key” second home. The ground floor features a generous open-plan kitchen/dining room with an adjoining utility room, and a bright southerly-facing living room with bi-fold doors opening seamlessly onto the garden terrace. A well-appointed ground-floor bedroom en-suite provides ideal guest accommodation.

On the first floor are two further large bedrooms, each with en-suite bath/shower rooms, with  delightful sea views. An extensive balcony provides an ideal space for outdoor seating while taking in the panoramic outlook.

Outside, established walled gardens with mature planting create an attractive yet manageable setting, with a decked seating area adjoining the living room. The property also benefits from parking for two vehicles and a substantial storage area beneath the parking. Further benefits include uPVC double glazing and a gas fired central heating system. 

Little Borringdon is conveniently positioned just off the bus route and approximately a 15-minute walk from Dartmouth town centre.

A large central island with seating provides a natural focal point adjacent to the dining area, with continuous timber flooring flowing throughout.

To the outside

From Church Road, a further pedestrian gate provides access to the front entrance as well as the utility room.

Beneath the parking area is a unique cobbled under storage space approximately 23’x16’, believed to be the original flooring and driveway to the neighbouring Borringdon House.

A pathway runs alongside the property to the rear garden, which has been designed for ease of maintenance with gravelled areas and an extensive decked terrace accessed directly from the living room.
