    “Wonderfully positioned, characterful house with fantastic views from the living room and kitchen, day and night.”

    Very clean and well kept, with a well-equipped kitchen, and good bathroom and en suite shower room on the mid level. A mostly rainy week meant we couldn’t take advantage of the terraces but again they offer great views. The garage is useful - our BMW 3 Series Estate fitted fairly easily - and at other times there was on street parking readily available within a minute or two’s walk. Minor issues: household supplies were very basic (no kitchen roll or cleaning spray, for example) and only ...

    Very clean and well kept, with a well-equipped kitchen, and good bathroom and en suite shower room on the mid level. A mostly rainy week meant we couldn’t take advantage of the terraces but again they offer great views. The garage is useful - our BMW 3 Series Estate fitted fairly easily - and at other times there was on street parking readily available within a minute or two’s walk. Minor issues: household supplies were very basic (no kitchen roll or cleaning spray, for example) and only one set of keys provided. The middle floor (two bedrooms and bathroom) smelt a little damp, which is not unusual for coastal homes built into a hillside. There is no damp showing and it’s not enough to affect clothes stored, but if you’re sensitive to the smell of damp it may be a little off-putting. The sofa in the living room is rather tired and uncomfortable but we spent most of our time sitting on the excellent window seats for the views. Care needed at the top of the stairs on the top floor where the flooring is narrow, but that’s just a factor of staying in an old, quirky but fun property. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and would recommend this house to anyone who can cope with the fitness challenge of the exterior steps!

About the location

DARTMOUTH

Totnes 12 miles.

Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, along with the Dartmouth Food Festival held every October. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blue Flag Award winner Blackpool Sands, and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular and just a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.

Please note there are 43 steps down from the garage in Above Town to the property. Access from Newcomen Road is up 43 steps. Steps are steep in places and uneven.

The garage is not suitable for 4x4 or large car.

Above town is a narrow road that runs 'above' and parellel to the River Dart. Access to Above Town is via a steep road.

Please note the property accepts two well behaved dogs.

Please bring a torch if arriving at night.
