Ferryside
Description
This contemporary duplex apartment lies in the sought-after harbour village of Kingswear, Devon, opposite the historic steam Railway station and close to both car and passenger ferries to Dartmouth. Situated in the heart of the historic village this is a vibrant location, great for people watching, with the steam trains from Paignton arriving with passengers en-route for the ferries to Dartmouth and the regular 'clang', as the car ferry lowers its ramp onto the slipway nearby.
At times this is a busy and bustling location, but it is fun, and you couldn't wish for a more convenient location at Ferryside: close to the quay and the river.
The property has just been totally refurbished for summer 2022 with new furnishings and appliances.All the windows have been replaced with UPVC double glazing: ideal if it does get a bit noisy.
Enter the hallway on the ground floor to find the first of the bedrooms, offering a king-size bed with large Smart TV.There is a new bathroom with underfloor heating whilst also on the ground floor is a fully fitted utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer. Stairs with concealed lighting lead off the hallway to a stunning open plan sitting room, dining room and kitchen recently fitted out with new dark blue kitchen units and white sparkly granite worktops, complete with oven, induction hob, microwave, fridge freezer and full sized dishwasher. The sitting room has a 50 inch smart TV or you can look out of the windows through the wide archway opposite with views of the quay and river.
Also approached off the living area is a small paved terrace with a bistro table and chairs. The second bedroom features another king-size bed with large smart TV, along with a sleek en-suite shower room.
Nearby, you will find a wide range of cafes, art galleries, shops, and boutique eateries to delve into, all set on the breath-taking waterfront; The Seahorse Restaurant and Bushell's Riverside are popular restaurants to visit. This really is a great location: ideal for stepping aboard a ferry to Dartmouth with its shops restaurants, cafes and art galleries or across the road to the station and take the steam train to Paignton.
There are some wonderful walks on the doorstep, with the property situated only a few yards from the South West Coast path.If you are feeling fit, then take the stunning coast path to the National Trust Coleton Fishacre Art Deco House and gardens, or walk alongside the river to Agatha Christie's Greenway House (also National Trust) with ferries back to Dartmouth or across the River to the charming Dittisham village. With plenty to fill your holiday itinerary, look forward to an action-packed adventure at Ferryside.

What guests are saying
lovely spacious apartment.
couple of small issues dealt with by the owner quickly. We had a lovely comfy stay
Absolutely fantastic place and a credit to the owners who have planned the space out perfectly and thought of everything you would ever need.
Great to sit out on the patio watching the comings and goings (with a glass of the complementary bubbly, of course! Thank you for that) yet in the evenings it's beautifully quiet and relaxing for a good night's sleep. Two smashing pubs with good food and ales just yards away with glorious views over the estuary and the ferry on your doorstep. Recommend taking the small ferry from Dartmouth to the Ferry Boat Inn in Dittisham for amazing pizzas and don't miss Cafe Alf Resco for brunch! This was our second stay here and hopefully not the last.
Fantastic location and lovely accomodation, everything needed had been thought of.
My concern before arriving was the car parking situation. In the event, we used the car park just a few yards across the road. Here there is 24 hour parking, and with the option of multiple days payment which also saves money. 48 hours for £20.
