There are also a number of annual festivals, including the Dartmouth food festival and the Mayflower 400. The town's deep-water port attracts sailing vessels from all over the world and is considered to be one of the prettiest in Europe. The nearby town of Kingsbridge offers further amenities and schooling and Totnes offers a main line rail link to London Paddington 2 hours 40 minutes).

Description

Situated on the quiet and private Bay View Estate, The Sheiling is a fabulous example of a detached family home in one of the South Hams' most sought after villages. Arranged over two floors, the versatile accommodation is spacious and bright throughout and stepping into the welcoming entrance hall really sets the tone for what is to come. The well equipped kitchen is integrated with a range of appliances including a double oven, a dishwasher, an electric hob and a larder fridge. Beyond the kitchen is convenient utility/boot room with its own external access. The open plan dining and sitting room is a delight with feature corner wood burner and large picture windows and glazed door to the terrace to maximise the views across the fields to the sea. Beyond the living accommodation there are two double bedrooms, both with built in storage and one of which is currently used as a study as well as a ground floor bathroom. There is a wonderful annexe/studio with large bay window and its own shower room which can either be used as part of the main house, or separated as it benefits from its own external access and area of garden.

Stairs rise to a generous landing with built in storage which leads to a fabulous principal bedroom with far reaching sea views and built in wardrobes. There are two further double bedrooms on this floor, both of which also have lovely sea views as well as a family bathroom.
