Woodlands, Dartmouth

Devon. Sleeps up to 13

This handsome three-storey Grade II listed Georgian house is situated near the historic Dartmouth creek from which ships departed for The Crusades. With charming views of the River Dart and a welcoming and impressive interior, it is excellent family accommodation. From the steep drive and parking area, leave your coats and boots in the porch and head into the comfortable sitting room with its cosy wood burning stove or the second sitting room, also with a wood burning stove, where you can watch the smart TV or gaze across the water. Prepare family meals in the well equipped kitchen and enjoy them together around the table beside the wood burning stove in the dining room, where you can play the piano after dinner. The bedrooms ramble over two upper floors, with a lovely room for the children on the top floor where they can play games and watch TV. The terrace which stretches along the front of the house is a fine place to sit and share barbecues whilst admiring the view. The children can play happily in the lower garden but must be supervised whilst you sit peacefully above on the Veranda (you cannot see the lower garden from the Veranda). You have everything on the doorstep since you can wander out to the restaurants, cafes, shops and galleries or take a tour of the Britannia Royal Naval College. About a 10 minute walk from the house are the Dartmouth Castle landing steps from where you can catch a ferry (seasonal) into Dartmouth. For a longer walk, a footpath leads through NT woodland to the South West Coast Path. You can catch the ferry to pretty Kingswear or take a boat trip to the interesting town of Totnes, or even hire a boat to skipper yourself. And, of course, there are lovely beaches all around the area. Woodlands is a house with room for all the family in a bustling and vibrant area.
