A spectacular contemporary home with commanding views over the River Dart, set within approximately 1.35 acres.
Description
Coombe Cottage is an impressive contemporary home that has been carefully renovated and designed to maximise its remarkable riverside setting. The house enjoys extensive glazing throughout the principal rooms, drawing in natural light and framing uninterrupted views across the estuary and surrounding countryside. Approached via a private drive from Bridge Road, the property opens onto a turning and parking area with access to an integral double garage.
The accommodation is extensive and is arranged across three levels, offering a versatile balance of formal entertaining spaces and relaxed family living. The entrance hall, with cloakroom and separate WC, immediately creates a wonderful sense of space, drawing the eye through the house towards the water beyond. At the heart of the home is the superb kitchen/breakfast/sitting room, extending to almost 50 feet and perfectly designed for both everyday living and entertaining on a larger scale. The beautifully appointed kitchen features a circular island and walk-in pantry, flowing seamlessly into the dining area, where curved sliding doors frame the outlook. Beyond, the sitting area enjoys two sets of bifold doors opening onto a generous wraparound balcony, providing access to the wider outdoor spaces and taking full advantage of the setting.
Adjoining the kitchen is a separate dining room, whilst a door from the sitting area leads through to the drawing room, complete with a wood burner. The accommodation continues on the garden level, where the impressive garden/leisure room extends to more than 37 feet in length and opens directly onto the terrace, outdoor swimming pool and waterside views beyond. A cinema room further enhances the leisure offering, whilst additional accommodation includes a utility room with adjoining plant room. There are also two shower rooms, a cloakroom and a space currently arranged as a changing room, with services already in place for a sauna to be installed. This area is ideally configured to support the swimming pool and leisure facilities.
Bedroom accommodation occupies the upper floor and includes a superb principal suite with dressing room, en suite bathroom and curved sliding doors opening to a glass Juliette balcony with elevated, far-reaching river views. There are three further bedrooms, each with en suite facilities, in addition to a self contained ancillary/guest suite comprising a bedroom/sitting area, kitchenette, dressing room and shower room.
The elevated position, design and orientation of the property ensures that nearly all principal rooms enjoy outstanding views across the River Dart and surrounding coastline, creating a striking connection between house and landscape.
The gardens and grounds are an outstanding feature of Coombe Cottage and extend to approximately 1.35 acres.
The land includes terraces with the swimming pool on the lower terrace easily accessible from the house, numerous seating areas, detached ‘breeze house’ with kitchenette for entertaining, level lawns and areas of natural planting as well as an orchard, all designed to complement the dramatic waterfront setting.
The grounds provide a strong sense of privacy and tranquillity whilst taking full advantage of the constantly changing river outlook, with passing sailing boats, steam trains and estuary wildlife forming an integral part of the setting. There is parking and an integral double garage completing the house.
Location
Coombe Cottage occupies a private and highly prized position on the edge of Kingswear, overlooking the River Dart and enjoying exceptional views towards Dartmouth and the surrounding wooded banks of the estuary. Situated within the South Devon National Landscape, the property combines privacy and seclusion with convenient access to the excellent amenities of both Kingswear and Dartmouth.
Kingswear is regarded as one of South Devon’s most desirable waterfront villages and offers a thriving sailing community centred around the Royal Dart Yacht Club, Dart Haven Marina, Noss on Dart which is an exciting new development of luxury apartments, spa hotel and Premier Marinas’ flagship marina and nearby deep-water moorings. The village includes popular public houses, a café, general store and regular passenger ferry services to Dartmouth.
Across the river, Dartmouth provides a wide selection of boutiques, galleries, restaurants and supermarkets, together with additional marina facilities and boating infrastructure.
The surrounding coastline offers exceptional walking via the South West Coast Path together with numerous beaches and sheltered coves throughout the South Hams. The nearby town of Totnes provides mainline rail services to London Paddington, whilst the A380 connects to Exeter and the M5 beyond.
