The Admiralty Wash House, located in the heart of Dartmouth, Devon, is a charming and historic residence that accommodates up to six guests across three bedrooms. Originally constructed in the 18th century and rebuilt in 1853, this unique home seamlessly blends its rich history with modern comforts. Positioned on a road leading to Dartmouth Castle and just above Bayards Cove, it offers easy access to the vibrant offerings of the town. The highlight of the property is the stunning sky room that overlooks the picturesque River Dart, making it an ideal retreat for families seeking relaxation and scenic views.
Inside, the home features a thoughtfully designed living space that reflects a nautical theme with maritime blues and crisp whites. The entry-level living area is cozy, complete with a log burner and plush sofas, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. The modern Shaker-style kitchen is equipped for convenient meal preparation, while the dining area boasts panoramic views of the river and Kingswear. An additional living area on the top floor, characterized by a Juliet balcony, enhances the experience with even more breathtaking views, showcasing the property's maritime heritage through exposed ship timbers in the roof.
Guests will find restful accommodations in the two double bedrooms and a twin bedroom, all adorned in soothing fawn pinks and whites. The master bedroom features a contemporary en suite shower room, complemented by a family bathroom with both a bath and a walk-in shower. For convenience, there is an additional cloakroom WC near the king-size bedroom. The property also boasts high-speed fibre broadband and three smart TVs, including access to Sky Q premium satellite TV, ensuring entertainment options for all ages.
Outside, The Admiralty Wash House offers a rare sun-trap patio and decking area, ideal for al fresco dining while enjoying the stunning Devon sunshine. The terrace garden provides a prime vantage point for watching events like the Royal Regatta, with views of the finishing line. While parking can be challenging in the narrow streets of historic Dartmouth, guests will receive a permit for council car parks in the South Hams district. The property is pet-friendly, allowing two small-to-medium-sized dogs or one large dog to join the holiday. Accessibility is a consideration, as the house is set over three levels with numerous steps, some of which are uneven, making it essential for guests to be aware of these features before booking their stay.
