Set high on the wooded hillside above Kingswear with personal lift and cantilevered balcony stunning panoramic views over the River Dart as far as Dartmoor National Park are just one of the many features this individually designed detached house of over 4
Situation and Description Built to the present owners exacting standards and completed during 2002, 'Heron House' has accommodation in a reversed level design arranged over three floors to take maximum advantage of its stunning location high on the wooded hillside above Waterhead Creek with panoramic views being enjoyed not only over the River Dart to Dartmouth and the Royal Naval College but also over the creek and on across the fields and woodland beyond. The property, which has its own lift, has been well maintained with the present owners having just completed a programme of refurbishment which has included redecorating and updating the cantilevered balcony which has tinted security glass, marine grade stainless steel ballustrading.
. The fitted carpets and curtains, which are all included in the sale, were replaced during 2011. The sale also includes all the quality light fittings throughout the house. The windows are all double glazed with Pilkington K glass and have maintenance free Upvc frames with external timber effect. The pressurized hot water system and central heating run from an economical boiler in the laundry room. The house also has good ceiling heights and features some moulded plaster covings and ceiling roses in a number of rooms. Arches from the central landing areas create a continental feel to this lovely family home and the magnificent hand crafted mahogany staircase provides a traditional touch of elegance rising up from the spacious reception hallway to the open plan dining room on the top floor, with its adjoining balcony deck.
. Being approached by a private driveway means 'Heron House' enjoys a particularly quiet location with no access to the public from roads in the immediate area. The village of Kingswear lies on the Eastern side of the beautiful River Dart opposite the port town of Dartmouth which is easily accessed via two ferries. The village is home to the Royal Dart Yacht Club and has a number of village Inns together with a Post Office, village shop and school. In addition to the local moorings in Waterhead Creek there is also an excellent marina with pontoon berths, a chandlery and full facilities. The City of Exeter and M5 motorway are about 45 minutes away by car, whilst the pretty fishing port of Brixham is literally on the other side of the hill with the coastal towns of Torquay and Paignton, which form the English Riviera, being a little further beyond.
