Characterful Cottage A Stones Throw From River Dart With Front & Back Patios, Dittisham

Devon. Sleeps up to 5

Holly Cottage is a delightful 400-year-old home brimming with character and in touching distance of the Dittisham riverside. Sleeping five in three rooms – and pets are welcome too. A year-round home, a river-view patio at the front and walled patio at the rear are perfect for summer. Inside, plush seating and a log burner make for a cosy stay in the cooler months. Venture a few steps to the riverbank for the popular inn and café or hope on a ferry to Dartmouth or the grand Greenway estate.

Accommodation:

The front door leads you into a small porch with space for coats and boots. The sitting room has many original features including antique furnishings, a stone fireplace, a wood-burning stove, and wooden flooring. There's a sofa and four armchairs, as well as a TV and DVD player.

A few steps up lead to the well-equipped kitchen/dining room. The kitchen has been completely renovated with pine table and chairs and integrated appliances including an electric cooker, dishwasher, fridge, and microwave.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms. The master bedroom has a double bed with iron bedstead, a wardrobe and glimpses of the river. The second bedroom has twin beds, while the third bedroom has a single bed and a chest of drawers.

The family bathroom was recently refurnished and has a bath with an overhead shower.

In the courtyard to the rear, there is an additional WC.

A travel cot and highchair are available.

There are night storage heaters and a wood-burning stove (logs are proved for winter bookings).


Outside:

At the back of the cottage, there is a small paved courtyard garden on two terraces, with garden seating and river views from the top terrace. To the front of the cottage, there is a sheltered patio with garden furniture and river views across to to the grand Greenway estate.

Parking:

Due to the property's location, there is no parking on site. However, it is possible to pull up outside to load and unload. There are two car parks roughly 300m away (a steep hill up to ‘The Level' car park) or there's free on-street parking on Riverside Road.

Nearby:

The Ferry Boat Inn is a one-minute walk down the road (don't worry, it is not known to be noisy). On the quayside, you will also find The Anchorstone Café as well as ferries to Greenway and Dartmouth. At the top of the village, you will find The Red Lion Inn which doubles up as the village shop and Post Office. Down The Lane you will find The Ham; the large grassy playing field and play area. Blackpool Sands is the closest beach - a 10-minute drive, in the village of Stoke Fleming.

Located in Dartmouth, this vacation home is in a rural area and on the waterfront. The area's natural beauty can be seen at South Devon and Dartmoor National Park, while Dartmouth Museum and Golden Hind are cultural highlights. Looking to enjoy an event or a game while in town?
