About this property

Unique holiday home, Dartmouth, river views, water views, contemporary

Summary

Beautifully placed in the centre of Dartmouth on a road which leads to Dartmouth Castle. Set over four floors, this truly special home sits just above Bayards Cove and is within easy reach of all that Dartmouth has to offer. Originally built in the 18th century and rebuilt in 1853, it is steeped in history but now affords contemporary family living with a glorious sky room overlooking the River Dart. This house is the perfect place for a relaxing time away.


Living spaces

This much-loved home is anything but ordinary. The entry-level living area is styled in maritime blues and crisp whites with a log burner and plush sofas. A modern Shaker-style kitchen makes mealtimes a breeze, while the dining area gives you panoramic views of the river and Kingswear. There's also a Nespresso machine to give your morning coffee an extra zing.

Stairs lead up to the top floor and a fabulous second living area - a sky room in the eaves with a Juliet balcony giving you even more incredible views. And, underscoring the town's maritime heritage, you'll see ships timbers in the roof, including a mast.


Entertainment

There's high-speed fibre broadband - great for watching your favourite streaming services on one of the three smart TVs. There's also Sky Q premium satellite TV (including Sky Sports channels).


Bedrooms and bathrooms

Downstairs from the living area, enjoy a soothing night's sleep in the two double bedrooms and a twin bedroom, each styled in fawn pinks and whites.

The stylish theme continues into the contemporary en suite shower room off the master bedroom and the family bathroom with a bath and walk-in shower - a refreshing start ahead of the day's adventures.

There's also an additional cloakroom WC near the king-size bedroom.


Outside

Outside spaces are rare among the close-knit buildings of historic Dartmouth, but at The Admiralty Wash House, there are more stunning views to be had from the sun-trap patio and decking as you enjoy al fresco dining in the glorious Devon sunshine in the private terrace garden. And, during the ever-popular Royal Regatta week, you have a prime seat for the finishing line.


Parking

The narrow streets of this historic nautical town make parking a challenge, but we'll provide you with a permit to park in council car parks across the South Hams district, including Dartmouth's main car park in Mayor's Avenue and the Park & Ride facility on the edge of town. The Mayors Avenue Car Park permit does not guarantee a parking space, and it can get very busy during the summer and special events, such as the Royal Regatta week (during which the car park is closed).


Pets

Dogs are welcome to enjoy your holiday, too. Two small-to-medium-sized dogs or one large dog are permitted.


ACCESSIBILITY - Please note that access to this property is via numerous steps, some of which are uneven. Please also be aware that the property is set on three levels.

Quirky, cosy, central to town house
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would go back. It was very well equipped but would have liked the provision of a DVD player, some kindling and firelighters but overall it was fantastic, especially the views. The house is central to the town so no need to use a car if you're staying local.

Lots of steps in Dartmouth!
Stayed in the Admiralty Wash House for a week during Dartmouth Regatta. The town was very busy so we enjoyed being located very conveniently nearby. The house was comfy and well equipped for 4 adults and our dog and slept up to 6. The only downside was the steps! 30 steps up to the house and then set over 4 floors we did lots of climbing up and down. The roof terrace/deck was up again to another level but was worth the hike for the views over the river. The lower ground floor did feel a little cold and damp with the bathroom down there never really getting dry despite the heating being on. We loved the sitting areas which meant plenty of space to read, play games and relax together or apart if we wishes. Thoughtful touches such as binoculars, board games and plenty of books to read. We found the master bedroom to be very light and would benefit from curtains to cover the thin blinds. Also would have appreciated some reclining chairs or loungers for deck. Surprised not to have received a welcome gift from agency - this is usually common practice and there wasn’t even milk in the fridge. Luckily we’d organised a grocery delivery. We enjoyed our week in Dartmouth

Had a great stay at this stunning property. The owners have great taste in furnishings . Loved it all (apart from the 30 steps ) which is good exercise . There was slight issue finding the property as our email and the download directions had a different addresses. Fortunately despite it being 5pm on aSunday evening I could contact someone from dart valley cottages . The manager phoned me back and gave us the correct address. It’s not very clear . Would help if it had The name Admirty wash house on the wall. Would we come back 100% yes
