Sitting on the opposite side of the River Dart from the town of Dartmouth, the village of Kingswear offers some sweeping views of the local area and the vantage points to be found at this home are up there with the best of them. During bursts of warm weather, you're sure to spend hours upon hours out on the glass-walled terrace complete with an alfresco dining table. However, if the forecast isn't so forgiving, the panorama can still be admired through the floor-to-ceiling windows that line the walls, or even through the home's telescope if you want a close-up. There's more to this home than what lies outside, however. The mass of glass brings in a wealth of natural light to the interior and this is accentuated by the reflective wooden floor and cream walls. The wood burner adds a strong dose of cosiness to the living room, while the kitchen has a wealth of space for whipping up family-sized feasts. When you're looking for options for days out, you're spoilt for choice here. Kingswear Castle takes just over twenty minutes to reach on foot and you can continue along the South West Coast Path to Brownstone Battery in another twenty-five minutes. And... after spending so long looking at Dartmouth from your home, you'll probably want to see what all the fuss is about at some point – time it right and the journey by foot and ferry will take you less than a quarter of an hour.
