LOCATION
Kingswear and Dartmouth, go hand in hand across the Dart Estuary, which is one of the most beautiful estuaries in the UK, and one of the most sought-after locations in South Devon. The village of Kingswear is home to two popular pubs, a wine bar, a general store, a post office, a coffee shop, a church and a primary school. Kingswear is also home to The Royal Dart Yacht Club, Dart Haven Marina and Noss on Dart, a stunning new development by Premier Marinas, which includes a new Bespoke hotel and spa, a local deli and a thriving hub of local business. Dartmouth is home to the Britannia Royal
Naval College and offers a vibrant year-round community, with a wonderful and varied selection of shops, boutiques, galleries, pubs and restaurants, including The Seahorse, which was recently named as ‘Best restaurant outside of London’ by the Food and Travel Reader Awards 2025. Dartmouth hosts several yearly festivals, including the Dartmouth Royal Regatta, Food Festival, Music Festival and Galleries Week. Alongside the traditional bakers, butcher and grocer, there are two supermarkets and an M&S Food Hall. The town is well serviced with a new health and well-being centre, a cinema, a leisure centre and both indoor and outdoor swimming pools. The River Dart, which flows from Dartmoor, through Totnes and out to sea at Dartmouth, is always a hive of activity, and as a deep-water port, attracts boats from all over the world. Dartmouth and Kingswear lie within the South Hams and the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, an area famous for its stunning coastline with sandy beaches and hidden coves. The mainline train station at Totnes runs a regular service to London in just over 2.5 hours and the A380 (M5) is about 9 miles.

THE PROPERTY
Eastney is a beautiful and iconic home, occupying an elevated position in the heart of the village, overlooking the mouth of the River Dart Estuary and offering superb views out to sea. Although not listed, the house, which was built in 1865, retains considerable period character and architectural presence, complemented by an extensive architect-led program of refurbishment, upgrading and reconfiguration which took around three years to complete in 2009. The result is an elegant and beautifully presented home offering substantial and versatile accommodation arranged over four floors.

The ground floor is approached through a handsome Victorian tiled entrance hall, where a modern semi-commercial lift provides access between the basement, ground, and first floor. Across the front of the house is a beautiful full-width conservatory, positioned to take full advantage of the outstanding views and providing a wonderful space in which to sit, dine and entertain throughout the year. The principal living room is an elegant and comfortable reception room, featuring a woodburning stove set within an ornate fireplace recess and French windows opening directly into the conservatory. The beautifully appointed Woodstock kitchen is arranged in an open-plan layout with the dining room, from which further French doors lead into the conservatory, creating a natural flow between the principal living spaces. The kitchen is fitted with an excellent range of bespoke cabinetry and incorporates an oil-fired Aga, complemented by an electric oven, microwave and warming drawer. There is also an integral fridge, built-in larder/pantry storage, together with bespoke book shelving for all your cookbooks. Adjoining the kitchenis a boot room/utility, equipped with an American-style fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer, with rear access leading to the garden steps and terraces beyond. A cloakroom and a separate study with library shelving complete the ground-floor accommodation.

From the entrance hall, the principal staircase rises to the first floor, while a separate staircase descends to the basement, which is a substantial plant room housing the boiler and providing extensive storage. The first floor is arranged around a beautiful galleried landing. The principal bedroom enjoys superb views and incorporates a dressing area together with a well-appointed en suite shower room.

The guest bedroom also benefits from the exceptional outlook and features a second en suite shower room. There are two further bedrooms on this floor, one of which has glazed doors opening onto the rear terrace and would work equally well as a study, television room or additional sitting room. A beautifully appointed family bathroom, fitted with both a bath and a walk-in shower, completes the first-floor accommodation.

The staircase continues to the second floor, where the converted loft extends across the full width of the house and provides an impressive and highly adaptable additional living space. Double doors open onto an inset balcony, from which the views are again outstanding. The room also benefits from extensive eaves storage and a further well-appointed shower room, making it ideal as an additional bedroom suite, studio or games room.

OUTSIDE
The gardens at Eastney beautifully complement the house and offer the unique advantage of extending between Beacon Road and Church Hill. From Beacon Road, a gated pedestrian entrance opens into the well-established, front gardens where gentle steps meander through a series of well-stocked flower beds and colourful borders. The garden rises gradually to an impressive full-width terrace immediately adjoining the house, and in part sheltered by a pergola, creating an exceptional setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. The views areexceptional. To the rear, the walled gardens are again arranged over a series of terraces, with mature planting, well-stocked borders and productive kitchen beds.

Steps rise through the garden to the double garage and studio which is also accessed off Church Hill. The double garage is fitted with electric sliding doors and provides excellent parking and storage. Beneath the garage is a large and versatile studio, complete with a kitchenette and cloakroom, which enjoys superb views and offers considerable potential as a home office, creative space, gym or occasional guest accommodation.
