At 6 Thurlestone Gardens, it is the view that first captures your attention. Elevated above the town in a peaceful cul-de-sac, the landscape unfolds in every direction. With breathtaking views towards the river, the countryside stretches into the distance and, on a clear day, the sea glimmers on the horizon. It is a setting that changes with the light and the seasons, becoming part of everyday life.
Upon arrival, this home gives little indication of what lies beyond; inside it opens into a spacious home arranged across three levels.
The Living Room is a bright and airy space opening onto a wide Balcony that quickly becomes the natural place to spend time. Morning coffee arrives with the sunrise, summer evenings linger a little longer and every season offers something different to admire. Beyond, the adjoining Sun Room provides another peaceful retreat, bathed in natural light and perfectly positioned to enjoy the same remarkable outlook from the comfort of indoors.
The Dining Room flows effortlessly from the Living Room, creating spaces that feel connected while remaining distinct enough for both everyday family life and larger gatherings. The Kitchen provides a practical workspace away from the entertaining areas, while a WC, useful Storage and a large, versatile Bedroom - currently utilised as a Study complete this floor.
On the floor below the Bedrooms are equally impressive with the Principal Suite occupying a peaceful position with fitted wardrobes and its own En-Suite Bathroom, creating a calm retreat at the end of the day.
Three further Bedrooms offer an exceptional degree of flexibility, whether for family, guests, home working or creative pursuits. Thanks to the home's elevated position, each room enjoys its own outlook across the surrounding landscape, giving every space a sense of light and openness. A Family Bathroom and Laundry Room complete this level, while the lower floor provides extensive Storage along with a Workshop space together with direct access to the Garden.
Outside, the Gardens have been thoughtfully arranged to offer a variety of places to enjoy throughout the day. A generous Sun Terrace provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining, while smaller elevated seating areas invite quieter moments surrounded by mature planting.
Established shrubs and hedging create both colour and privacy, giving the Garden a settled, peaceful atmosphere that complements the home perfectly. The balance between landscaping and low maintenance makes it as practical as it is attractive.
A private Driveway with Parking in front provides valuable off-road Parking, while the location offers a rare balance of peace and convenience, with a short walk into Dartmouth Town, this house really gives you space, convenience and versatility.
6 Thurlestone Gardens is a home that offers room to grow, room to entertain and room simply to pause and appreciate one of the finest outlooks the town has to offer.
