The Lane House – for sale freehold The Lane House is situated on the edge of the popular

village of Kingswear with lovely views looking out over

the Dart Estuary and across to Dartmouth. The property

is approached off a quiet lane and up its own driveway,

over part of which 2 other properties have a right of access.

The property owns a detached double garage half way up

the driveway which also provides vehicular access through

the rear of the garage to the garden. The garden borders

woodland and has been cleverly designed to create a

series of terraces. There is plenty of parking beside the

house, the integral double garage and the detached

double garage for at least 12 cars or boat trailers.

Steps lead up from beside the integral double garage to

the front door. The entrance porch leads into a reception

hallway with stairs at the far end. Off the hallway are the

utility room (with the oil-fired boiler), a cloakroom/WC and

a bedroom with an en suite shower. This bedroom has its

own door that leads out onto its own terrace in the garden

which, in turn, leads onto the lower terraced lawn. Also off

the hallway is a games room (or billiard room) that could

also be used as the fifth bedroom. It has a bay window in

the corner that leads out onto a small balcony with lovely

views out across the Dart Estuary.

Stairs lead up to the first floor hallway off which is the

sitting room, dining room and kitchen/breakfast room.

The sitting room has French doors leading out onto the

rear courtyard and catches the morning sun. French

doors to the other side of the room lead out to the

swimming pool. The sitting room also has a lovely open

fireplace. The dining room is equally suited as a study

and has a wood burner. The kitchen has been built by

Nicholas Anthony and has a central island, ceramic hob,

griddle and electric ovens.

The stairwell leads on up to the top floor landing, off

which are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The

principal bedroom has a balcony, dressing room and en

suite bathroom. The family bathroom has both a bath and

a shower.

gardens and groundsThe west facing terrace and swimming pool of the kitchen and

sitting room are of particular note and perfect for al fresco

entertaining.

Both below and above the swimming pool are grass lawns and at

the very top of the garden are a summer house and a vegetable

garden.

The summer house enjoys some of the best views from the

property and catches the sun for much of the day.

The south Hams The village of Kingswear stands on the east bank of the River Dart

opposite Dartmouth; both have thriving communities all year round.

The village is located in the heart of the much sought-after area

of South Devon known as The South Hams within an Area of

Outstanding Natural Beauty. The region is known for having

an uncommonly temperate climate, consisting of lush, unspoilt

countryside, hidden combes and a spectacular coastline.

Kingswear has a pub, church, village store and post office as well

as the Royal Dart Yacht Club and a privately owned marina.

Dartmouth, a short ferry ride away, has a larger collection

of restaurants, pubs, boutique shops, banks, chain stores

and supermarkets. It is also home to the Britannia Royal

Naval College.

Communication links are very good with the A38 Devon

Expressway 20 miles to the north and the M5 Motorway

at Exeter via the recently completed A380 Kingskerswell

bypass.

There are regular Intercity rail services from both Exeter

(London Paddington 2 hours 4 minutes) and Totnes

(London Paddington 2 hours 50 minutes).

Exeter Airport has a growing number of domestic and

international flights often negating the need to drive to

Bristol or the London Airports.

There are a number of lovely beaches in the South Hams

and excellent golf courses at Dartmouth and Churston.

Both, Kingswear and Dartmouth have excellent facilities

for sailing, with Dartmouth Royal Regatta being a

highlight of the racing calendar. For the more ambitious

yachtsman there are deep water moorings, three

marinas and a number of boat yards. For the cruising

yachtsman Kingswear is the perfect base from which to

explore France, The Channel Islands and the picturesque

harbours and creeks of the West Country.

Kingswear and its immediate environs have numerous

sandy beaches, coves and sheltered anchorages, all of

which make it excellent for water sports, boating and long

walks along the beautiful coastline.
