An absolutely stunning property nestling on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Dittisham which is within easy reach of the neighbouring town of Dartmouth. This beautiful town, at the mouth of the River Dart, is one of South Devon’s most popular and enchanting towns. With its charming historic streets, scenic river location and surrounded by South Devon countryside, you’d have to go a long way to find a town as pretty. The shoreline meadow makes for a perfect picnic spot, whilst downstream by the jetty is The Ferry Boat Inn where you can relax and enjoy your favourite tipple or enjoy a meal Anchorstone cafe . Heading downstream to Dartmouth, which is full of history and heritage, and no trip to this town would be complete without visiting Dartmouth Castle, or catch the ferry across to Agatha Christie's Greenway National Trust holiday home. For the kids, there are plenty of local attractions such as Woodlands Theme Park, and activities such as crabbing are a popular pastime on the embankment to keep them amused.

In the months of May through to November why not attend one of the many local events and festivals in the area like the Dartmouth Music Festival, Dartmouth Royal Regatta, Dartmouth Food Festival, Torbay Air Show, Brixham Pirate Festival, Devon County Show.

The utility room consists of a tumble dryer and washing machine. Heading into the hallway, take a left up the stairs to the remarkable open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The beautiful, well-equipped kitchen area offers an electric range oven and a hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, coffee machine, and two dishwashers. The first of the two lounges boasts panoramic views through the floor-to-ceiling feature windows. Sit back and relax amongst the rich, soft furnishings and watch your favourite programme on the TV or just enjoy the breathtaking views up and down the River Dart. On a beautiful summer’s day, pull back the bi-folding doors and enjoy al fresco dining with friends and family on the patio which is situated just off the kitchen. Heading back down the stairs to the ground floor, you will enter the fabulous second lounge area, where you can light the fire on those cooler evenings and enjoy a board game with the family or catch up on your favourite programmes on the Smart TV. Following on through this stylish property, you will enter the first of the five bedrooms: a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower and WC, with patio doors leading out onto a small patio area, allowing you to enjoy a morning coffee with a view. Heading back into the lounge, take the spiral staircase up to the first floor where you will find three bedrooms: a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower and WC, and a Juliet balcony boasting spectacular views; a further king-size bedroom which also offers breathtaking views, and a twin bedroom which again offers beautiful views from the comfort of your bed.

We loved our stay at this magical property. It is really well equipped and you wouldnt tire of the average changing view. We caught the ferry to Dartmouth, swam from the private slipway. Enjoyed spending time together and relaxing in a little slice of heaven. We would definitely recommend it and would love to return.

We absolutely loved the location, but we would have appreciated much more detail prior to booking about the tricky access to the property. I had to dig out a sand bank under the jetty to get clearance for my Volvo XC60, this would not have been a problem if it was expected and a shovel was made available (fortunately I had a kayak paddle that helpeRead mored). The kinked width restriction at the top of the ramp for the property definitely needs addressing. The bedrooms and kitchen table were very dirty. Hide

You really cant beat the position of this house! 2 mins to the pub and ferries and the cafe. The house is well equipped for a group, and the views are amazing whether its sunny or raining. Dartmouth is a short ferry ride away and there are footpaths in all directions.

This is a magnificent home! Such a unique location with seals swimming on your doorstep. You can sit for hours just watching the activity on the river. We chose to park on the level in the village, which is a 10 minute uphill walk from the property, but we didnt find this to be too problematic. The home is well equipped and comfortable.

We loved our week at Beach End! What a truly magical place. The house has been beautifully designed and furnished, it is well-equipped, warm and has lovely soft bed linen. Our family ranged in age from 18 months to 84 years and everybody loved it. We could SUP from the house, fish right in front of the house at high tide, spot seals and kingfishersRead more, plus catch lots of crabs from the jetty! The local pub is a delight and catching the ferry to Dartmouth was a treat. Highly recommend! Hide
