About this property
Family river retreat a short walk from the quay
Riverview is a superb family holiday home situated within tranquil Dittisham Court – just a short stroll to the village and riverside. Sleeping up to six guests in three bedrooms, Riverview also benefits from its own private, grassy garden and allocated parking. From the open-plan kitchen and living area, the French doors open onto a private balcony with sublime views of the river and distant Dartmoor – also seen from the master bedroom, too. We're sorry, but pets are not allowed at Riverview.
Accommodation:
The front door opens into the ground floor hall with space for boots and coats. Two bedrooms on this floor overlook the garden. The first has a king-size bed, while the second is a bunk room, both with wardrobe and a chest of drawers for storage. The family bathroom is also on the ground floor with a bath, overhead shower and WC. Guests will also find the washer-dryer in the family bathroom.
Upstairs, there is the open-plan living space with a well-equipped kitchen, dining, and lounge areas. The cream kitchen is complete with a fridge, freezer, dishwasher and microwave. The lounge area has two sofas, two armchairs, a wood burner, a TV and a DVD player. The dining table seats six and looks out over the garden and countryside towards the river via the patio doors out to a small balcony. There is additional seating on the balcony for enjoying a morning coffee with steps down to the garden.
Upstairs again takes you to the light and airy en-suite master bedroom in the eaves of the house, with a kingsize bed, blue-painted furniture, The en-suite has a bath with overhead shower. This floor also has an additional single bedroom available by request.
There's central heating and a wood burner for comfort (logs can be purchased locally).
Outside:
At the rear of the property, there is a private grassy garden from which you have views over Dittisham Mill Creek and various aspects of the river Dart. Dittisham Court itself is set in four acres of grassy communal grounds including a small orchard containing plum and apple trees.
Parking:
There is a loading bay at the front of the house with two allocated car parking spaces a few metres away.
Please note: the single bed is only available by request
Nearby:
The village pub, The Red Lion Inn, is a 2-minute walk around the corner. The Red Lion also hosts the village shop and Post Office. A 10-minute walk will take you to The Quay where you will find the Ferry Boat Inn and The Anchorstone Café as well as ferries to the National Trust's Greenway house and gardens, and Dartmouth. Blackpool Sands is the closest beach - a 10-minute drive away.
