There are two fabulous bedrooms on this floor both easily have space for a super-king-size bed.

The family bathroom contains a large walk-in shower, twin basins and WC with plenty of shelving to store all your towels. An ever so useful utility room is accessed from the rear of the house. Take the painted timber stairs, with grey runner up to the bright, light landing that opens out into the open plan living area. A gleamingly light and contemporary kitchen unfurls into a dining and living area for all the family. Feast in the dining area, set before the wall of bi-fold windows, which overlook the garden and provide panoramic views of the River Dart and over to Kingswear beyond. Bi-fold doors in the living area open out onto the balcony, ideal for summertime barbecues, simply pull the doors open and step out for al fresco breakfast, lunch and dinner. A contemporary log burner provides a focal point and warmth on those long winter nights. Head up the stairs to the second floor and the bonus property; 'The Loft Room" with its own private entrance and separated from the main house this can provide a useful extra income or be incorporated into the main house. The Loft Room has stunning views of the river and glimpses of the sea beyond. It comes with its own en-suite shower room and cosy living area.
