36 Crowthers Hill is a thoughtfully presented home perched above the River Dart and Dartmouth Harbour in Devon.
With the beach a short drive away, far-reaching views over the rooftops of Dartmouth, and a wealth of nearby attractions, this characterful retreat welcomes families, groups of friends, and one well-behaved dog for a memorable coastal escape.
After parking the car—although the property sits atop one of Dartmouth’s steepest roads, the reward lies within—you’ll step into a space that immediately invites you to slow down and absorb the atmosphere.
The sitting room greets you with a sense of calm and charm.
Two well-chosen sofas, tasteful furnishings, and a woodburning stove set the tone for relaxed evenings.
A window through to the kitchen/diner allows natural light to filter in and offers a glimpse of the garden, with elevated views beyond, creating a gentle connection between the spaces.
Settle near the window with a book, or enjoy quiet conversation as the fire crackles nearby.
Coastal and nautical accents, along with carefully selected fixtures and fittings, lend the room a distinct sense of place.
Step down into the kitchen/diner, a welcoming space for preparing meals and gathering around the table.
Velux windows overhead fill the room with daylight, and from here, you can enjoy glimpses of the town and surrounding greenery as you cook, dine, and share stories.
Whether you're chopping herbs, stirring a simmering pot, or lingering over a glass of wine, the space encourages connection and ease.
After dinner, return to the sitting room, where the woodburning stove offers warmth and a gentle glow.
Ascend the open staircase to the first floor, where you'll find a sleek shower room with a walk-in shower, basin, and WC.
Just off the landing, a desk by the window provides a peaceful spot to write, work, or simply gaze out at the views.
The master bedroom lies nearby—a tranquil double room, beautifully decorated with generous wardrobe space and views across the town, offering a restful end to the day.
Continue upwards, guided by a rope banister and passing a built-in bookcase filled with books, to the second floor, where a family room awaits in a charming attic conversion.
Nestled beneath the eaves with a sloping ceiling, the room features two double beds at either end, each offering dual-aspect views—one looking out over the town below, the other capturing a different angle of the landscape.
It’s a peaceful and inspiring space to wake up in.
Outside, the garden is a true highlight—a multi-levelled haven with patio and decking, sun loungers perfectly placed to take in the views of the river, boats drifting past, lush greenery, and the rooftops of Dartmouth.
Whether you're dining alfresco, watching the boats glide by, or simply enjoying the shifting light over the town, this outdoor space invites you to linger and savour the moment.
Nearby, the golden curve of Blackpool Sands awaits—a sheltered beach edged by evergreens and pines, with clear waters and opportunities for seaside adventure.
For those drawn to history and gardens, the National Trust’s Coleton Fishacre offers a glimpse into 1920s elegance, set within grounds that tumble towards the coast.
Further afield, explore the riverside stronghold of Dartmouth Castle, steeped in centuries of maritime history and commanding views over the estuary.
And when the day winds down, why not enjoy a well-earned meal at one of Dartmouth’s inviting eateries?
Every moment spent at 36 Crowthers Hill is one to remember.
