36 Crowthers Hill is a beautifully appointed house situated near the scenic River Dart and Dartmouth Harbour, Devon. With the beach just a short distance away, stunning elevated views of Darmouth, and plenty of amenities nearby, this charming retreat welcomes families and groups of friends, along with one well-behaved dog, for a memorable coastal escape. After parking the car—although the property sits atop one of Dartmouth’s steepest roads, the reward lies within—you’ll step into a space that immediately invites you to slow down and take in the atmosphere. Upon entering, you’re welcomed into the sitting room, a beautifully styled space with two inviting sofas, high-quality furnishings, and a warm, welcoming ambience. A window through to the kitchen/diner allows natural light to stream in and offers a glimpse of the garden, with stunning views beyond, creating a sense of openness and connection between the spaces. Settle near the window with a book, or let the gentle crackle of the woodburning stove accompany quiet conversation. Thoughtful coastal and nautical touches, along with lovely fixtures and fittings, lend a sense of place and charm. Step down into the well-appointed kitchen/diner, perfect for preparing home-cooked meals to be enjoyed at the dining table. Velux windows above bathe the room in soft daylight, and here you can enjoy elevated glimpses of the town and surrounding greenery as you cook, dine, and linger over drinks. Whether you’re chopping herbs, stirring a simmering pot, or sharing stories over a leisurely meal, the space invites warmth and connection. After dinner, return to the sitting room, where you can curl up in front of the woodburning stove and enjoy a favourite film on the TV. Ascend the open staircase to the first floor, where you’ll find a sleek shower room, equipped with a walk-in shower, basin, heated towel rail and WC. Just off the landing, a desk positioned by the window provides a quiet nook to work or reflect, with captivating views stretching out before you. The master bedroom awaits—a welcoming double room, beautifully decorated with ample wardrobe space and views over the town, offering a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring. Continue upwards, guided by a rope bannister and passing a built-in bookcase brimming with books, to the second floor, where a family room awaits in a charming attic conversion. Nestled beneath the eaves with a sloping ceiling, the room features two double beds positioned at either end, each offering dual-aspect views—one looking out over the town below, the other catching a different perspective of the landscape. It’s a tranquil and inspiring space to wake up in. Outside, the garden is a true highlight—a multi-levelled haven with patio and decking, sun loungers perfectly placed to soak up the views of the river, boats drifting by, lush greenery, and the rooftops of Dartmouth. Whether you’re dining alfresco, watching the boats glide past, or simply enjoying the changing light over the town, this outdoor space invites you to linger and savour the moment. Just a stone’s throw from your doorstep, you’ll find the breath-taking Blackpool Sands, a golden sheltered crescent fringed by evergreens and scented pines, offering crystal clear waters and assorted beach activities for a fun-filled day at the shore. For those who enjoy history and verdant beauty, the National Trust-owned Coleton Fishacre nearby beckons, where you can explore a 1920s Arts and Crafts style house set within glorious gardens that tumble down towards the coast and exquisite sea views. Head further afield and tour Dartmouth Castle, steeped in over 600 years of history, its strategic riverside location offering an intriguing lens on the past and spectacular vistas over the estuary. Why not round off the day with a sumptuous local dish at one of Dartmouth’s delightful eateries? Every memorable moment made at 36 Crowthers Hill will undoubtedly be cherished for years to come.
