A rare opportunity to purchase two apartments in a historical property in the heart of the picturesque village of Kingswear. EPC band E.
Situation - Kingswear sits on the sunny east bank of the River Dart opposite the historic port of Dartmouth and home to the Britannia Royal Naval College. The village is one of the most picturesque in the South Hams offering two popular pubs, a tapas wine bar, coffee shop, post office, village shop, primary school and a church. Kingswear is popular with the sailing community and offers excellent marina facilities, deep-water moorings and is home to the Royal Dart Yacht Club. There is plenty to do in the area with the South West footpath on your doorstep, an abundance of beaches, coves and golf courses nearby. A seasonal steam train service operates to Paignton whilst a regular bus service links to the towns in Torbay. A 5-minute passenger or car ferry ride and you arrive in the historic town of Dartmouth with its wide range of shops and restaurants. The South Devon Expressway (A380) is 12 miles away and provides speedy access to Exeter and the country beyond whilst main line rail links to London Paddington can be made in Totnes and Newton Abbot.
Description - Longford Cottage is an attractive, red brick dwelling situated in a prime position in the heart of the picturesque village of Kingswear and only a stones throw from the River Dart. The property is currently divided into two separate apartments but was once the stables for Longford House. Longford House was home to French Naval Officers during WWII including Philippe de Gaulle, the General's son, who was a junior officer at the time and was visited by his father. Property on Priory Street rarely comes to the market so Longford Cottage presents a unique opportunity to purchase two self-contained apartments or the opportunity create a singular residence.
Accommodation - Accessed from the shared courtyard is the front door which leads to the entrance hall which is open to the kitchen. The kitchen has a range of units as well as space for an electric oven, fridge and washing machine. A door opens from the kitchen to a separate enclosed courtyard area. Next to the kitchen is the sitting/dining room which is of a good size offering plenty of space for sitting and dining furniture. A lockable, interlinking door between the two apartments leads from the sitting room of Curlew to the entrance hall of Fulmar allowing usage as one larger property. Leading from the sitting room are two bedrooms, one will accommodate a double bed and the other a single. The apartment is served by a shower room with corner shower, WC and wash hand basin.
Outside - Accessed from the kitchen of Curlew is an enclosed courtyard which is ideal for alfresco dining.
Tenure - Leasehold - a new lease will be granted upon completion.
