About this property
With majestic panoramic views up and down the River Dart, and perched literally on the water's edge, this stunning holiday home is the epitome of style and class.
Set in an exclusive location in Kingswear, The Edge is a sheltered and sunny haven. And it’s only a short walk to the iconic Lower Ferry which takes you across to the shops and restaurants in Dartmouth.
This beautiful property is perfect for up to four guests. Nestled away along the highly desirable Beacon Road in Kingswear (on the banks of the River Dart) the views are utterly glorious from every level.
Entering the house from street level into the garage and utility area, the magic awaits as you walk through the inner door to the top of the gorgeous wooden spiral staircase.
Take a deep breath, because here you will find the immaculate master bedroom (super king) with sensational views through the sliding glass doors, and the incredible wrap-around glass and teak decked balcony. This is the perfect spot to sit with a book or drink in those views. Or just imagine sitting with a cup of tea in the morning taking in passing sailing boats, the view across to the Dartmouth Castle or further out to sea.
Descend down the wooden spiral staircase to the ground floor and there is a second bedroom (super king) which leads out into the garden area with a rattan sofa to relax on plus matching chairs and coffee table. The bedroom has an en suite bathroom with large marble bath and walk in shower.
The open-plan kitchen, dining and seating area will be a great hub of both entertaining and relaxing, and there is a stylish wood burner that will keep you warm on cooler nights. The huge glass windows slide back to let you enjoy an al fresco lifestyle, and lead out to a sensational decked balcony with outdoor dining table and chairs, plus a couple of sun loungers to catch those rays (or 50 winks).
Everything is on your doorstep and conveniently situated. It is a short walk to the characterful Lower Ferry which takes you quickly to the bustling town of Dartmouth on the opposite side of the river, either on foot or by car. From there you can explore the many shops, visit the historic castle or embark on a scenic river trip. In Kingswear itself, there is a busy Marina, post office, local shop, café, two pubs and of course Kingswear station for the historic and scenic steam train journey to Paignton. The village is a Mecca to the sailing community, with the River Dart being a superb natural harbour, accommodating several marinas and deep-water moorings and the village is the home of the Royal Dart Yacht Club, hosts of the annual Royal Regatta.

Thank you for your email. We had a wonderful holiday and The Edge provided the perfect place to stay. Outstanding views from all aspects of the house, well appointed property to enjoy food and drink (and soak up those views). A great location for hopping onto the lower ferry to Dartmouth. This was our second visit to the property and we really enjoyed spending more time in the property, relaxing and never tiring of watching yachts and boats passing by. At night time it is so quiet and peaceful. The description you provide of the property is spot on! 5

Fabulous place - very peaceful, comfortable and well equipped. Fantastic views of the river and out to sea, great to enjoy the sun mornings and evenings on the Kingswear side. Parking no major problem, very useful trolley provided to wheel the luggage from the car. Highly recommended, definite 5 stars. Hope to be book again as soon as next year’s dates are released.
