Occupying a spectacular waterfront position with exceptional views, the Boathouse offers bright and contemporary open-plan living with two spacious en suite bedrooms. The outside space is equally as impressive with two balconies maximising the far reaching views, a terrace with BBQ area and a beautifully landscaped garden.
The Boathouse is a detached two-bedroom waterfront home on the River Dart, in the heart of the South Devon National Landscape. It was built in the late 1800s and remained a boathouse until at least the 1950s. The property has recently been extensively refurbished to create an immaculate contemporary residence that compliments its charming period character. Finished to an exceptional standard and ready to move straight into, the property also lends itself well to a luxury holiday home or let. Premium features include the installation of the finest ‘disappearing’ doors and windows in Europe, engineered wood flooring, underfloor heating, smart contemporary bathrooms, a bioethanol stove and a bespoke kitchen crafted locally.
The property has a double aspect, south-east and south-west, and has been designed to maximise the panoramic water views both from the interior and from the terraces and gardens. The exceptional triple-aspect living space forms the heart of the ground floor, with a vaulted double-height ceiling and a spectacular outlook with far-reaching views across the water towards Dittisham in one direction and the Mill Pool in the other. Glazed sliding doors open onto a balcony and a bioethanol stove creates a welcoming focal point for the sitting area. The contemporary kitchen and dining space is fitted with newly installed, sleek timber cabinetry, complemented by polished concrete work surfaces. A full range of quality appliances includes an oven, microwave combi oven, dishwasher, induction hob, two fridges, freezer, washing machine and separate dryer. A discreet cloakroom completes the ground floor.
Above the main living space is a mezzanine lounge with a largescale TV. It provides additional space to relax, with access to the terrace, with BBQ, and the rear gardens and a staircase that leads to the first floor accommodation. The two double bedrooms are arranged on the first floor, both enjoying vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and plenty of natural light. The principal suite is positioned to the front and, with its large bay window and wide glazed sliding door to a balcony, has double aspect birds eye views over the water. A contemporary shower room serves the principal suite while the second bedroom is served by an en suite bath and shower room.
The property is currently operated as a very successful holiday let and can be purchased with all fittings and furnishings.
