About this property

4 bed spacious modern townhouse with spectacular views over the River Tamar.


Our 4 bedroom 2,000 sq foot modern townhouse is set on the River Tamar, with direct access to the river via a public launchway, ideal for canoeing, boating or in the summer, for swimming. All bedrooms have a writing desk.
Please note that during school holidays, ( February, May and October half term weeks, Easter, and the whole of July and August) arrivals and departures have to be on a Saturday. The rest of the year any day can be booked to arrive or leave.
There is a small riverside park and play area opposite the house.
The ground floor comprises two bedrooms at the front of the house with those amazing views over the Tamar. One of these bedrooms is a double and the other is a single. There is also a large double bedroom to the rear. The large family bathroom on this floor has a toilet, wash basin and a bath with a shower over the bath. There is also a very useful utility room with another toilet and sink and also with a washing machine and separate dryer.
The first floor comprises an open plan fitted kitchen, dining and sitting area. It is filled with natural light and is dominated by the panoramic views of the river through the large sliding glass doors.
The fitted kitchen includes an electric double oven, gas hob, dishwasher, and fridge freezer. There is also a microwave, slow cooker, rice cooker and all the kitchen equipment you would expect.
The solid wooden dining table seats 8, even without being extended and all those sitting round can look out at the views while eating. There is another smaller round table next to the window overlooking the river for a cosier breakfast, drink or meal.
The sitting area has three settees so while sitting comfortably you can enjoy spectacular views either up river to the Tamar Bridge and the confluence of the Tamar and Tavy rivers, or down river towards the thickly wooded grounds of Anthony House, a National Trust property (where Alice in Wonderland was filmed). In the summer, twice weekly regattas are held with huge yachts sweeping silently up and down in front of the house, and all year round rowers practise for the Cornish Gig trials. Wildlife, especially birds, abound through all the seasons. There is a telescope, but you may want to bring your own binoculars. There is always something to see and watch and even just the changing light throughout the day right through to sunset is amazing. However, just in case there is not enough going on out of the windows, there is a TV and DVD player, and Wifi is available in all rooms.
The second floor is given over entirely to their spacious master suite, with a king sized bed, comfy chairs and writing desk. The bedroom is flooded with natural light from four velux windows and a sliding patio door which leads directly out onto the veranda with commanding views up and down the Tamar. The veranda has a cube dining table and chairs, so you might choose to absorb the magnificent sunsets with a glass of whatever makes you happiest.
The adjoining ensuite bathroom has a large free standing bath with taps in the middle, a separate shower cubicle, washbasin and toilet.
Parking

There is a single garage at the rear of the house, and parking for one further vehicle in front of the garage. In addition, there is almost unlimited parking beside the Tamar, under the Bridge, just a few seconds walk from the house.

The Location and Surroundings:
A bus service, two minutes walk away will take you into Central Plymouth, with its vibrant Barbican port area, and the historic Hoe. The National Aquarium, situated here, is spectacular.
In addition, Saltash train station, just a mile away, provides access into Plymouth, but trains also run deep into Cornwall through spectacular countryside, and make for a great day out at St Ives or Penzance.
From St Budeaux station, the trains take you along the Devon and Cornwall border via the famous Tamar Valley Railway, stopping at riverside towns like Calstock, where a viaduct carries the train high above the river, and Cothele, a stunning National Trust medieval manor house frozen in time, just a short walk along the riverbank. In the summer, leisurely river cruises run from Plymouth Barbican right up to Calstock. The best food is at The Boot, in Calstock but you will need to book in advance.
Dartmoor can be reached within 20-30 minutes drive, and another NT property, Buckland Abbey, formerly home of Sir Francis Drake, is also close with its own gardens, walks and even a Rembrandt on display.
Cycling or walking along the Plym Valley takes you from the edge of Plymouth up a gentle incline onto Dartmoor, a track laid on the course of a disused railway. The impressive Burrator Dam, also on Dartmoor, has walking and cycling tracks through woodland and moorland, surrounding the lake. All these activities are within 30 minutes of the house. The ancient town of Tavistock, with its riverside gardens and pannier market, is another gem.
Crossing the Tamar Bridge, miles of sandy beaches of Cawsand and Kingsand, (idyllic Cornish fishing villages), and the vast sandy beaches of Whitsand Bay and Downderry.
There is go cart racing and, (my preferred option), a zip wire ride at Adrenaline Quarry, just 14 miles away towards Liskeard in Cornwall.

Nearby eating:
There is an excellent local pub, The Ferry House Inn, a short walk along the riverside which serves home-cooked food.(reservation a good idea). A walk up the hill, and across the Tamar bridge pedestrian walkway leads to Saltash with a wide range of restaurants, pubs and shops.
