A charming Victorian mid-terrace cottage set opposite the village green, with attractive River Dart and countryside views. Arranged over three floors, the house offers flexible living: a light sitting room with tiled fireplace, a dining room, and a galley kitchen on the ground floor. Three bedrooms each have en suite facilities, plus an additional study — convenient for a family or for home working.
Outside provides a paved front courtyard with two storage units and a decked first-floor balcony that captures the outlook across the creek. The property sits in a quiet hamlet-like setting in Kingswear, within easy reach of local shops, marina facilities, ferry links to Dartmouth and seasonal steam-train connections. Good nearby schools and leisure options (golf, beaches) add to the appeal.
Practical points to note: heating is by an LPG-fired boiler with radiators and drainage is private; broadband speeds are slow in this area. The cottage is of granite/whinstone construction typical of its era and there is no known wall insulation — energy upgrades may be worthwhile. The plot is small and the house is mid-terrace, so outdoor space is limited.
This property suits buyers seeking period character in a scenic riverside village — ideal for a small family, downsizers wanting village life, or buyers seeking a holiday/second home. It offers immediate charm and good layout, while also presenting scope for energy improvements and modernisation to enhance comfort and running costs.
