Homefield - Chic charm with unrivalled river views
About
Nestled into the hillside of the Kingswear headland, this handsome 5-bedroom family home delivers space, privacy, and spectacular scenery. Styled with warm elegance, the open-plan living space maximises the valley views, which extend out onto the terrace. There’s a further sitting room and family room. Upstairs, two of the bedrooms (one en suite) have private balconies. The third bedroom is styled for a soothing sleep, and a refreshing start. We also provide an electric charging point in the garage that can be used on a daily basis for a nominal daily fee. Stag or hen parties are not permitted. The Space Homefield is an immaculate 5-bedroom detached home in the hugely popular village of Kingswear. A blend of period contemporary and characterful décor, the open-plan ground floor makes for superb social gatherings, plus a separate sitting for some quiet time. OPEN-PLAN KITCHEN/DINING/LOUNGE AREA Let the gentle sea breeze flow through the dual aspect glass walls maximise one of Devon’s most-iconic views, with added sky lights bathing the space in more natural light. Sultry summer days are made refreshing with state-of-the-art air conditioning. KITCHEN The sleek white modern kitchen is fully equipped with top-end built-in appliances – two Siemens ovens and a multi-function microwave, electric hob, and large American-style fridge freezer with ice maker. Take breakfast at the kitchen island breakfast bar, or come together as mouth-watering meals are prepared. Then gather around the 8-seater glass dining table, next to the vibrant yet delicate conversational wallpaper with elements of the natural world. SITTING ROOM & SNUG ROOM The separate sitting room is infused with the maritime spirit of the area. Two plush sofas and an armchair reflect nautical blues, with the ornamental fireplace framed with a feature wall covering reflecting life on the water. Simply sit back for movie night in front of the large smart TV. There’s also a further snug room in soothing earthy and aquatic tones, and two comfortable sofas. Adjacent is the downstairs cloakroom with WC and the utility room. BEDROOMS & FAMILY SHOWER ROOM On the ground floor to the rear of the snug living area there is a large bedroom with a king size bed and ensuite shower room. There is also access to the side decking area via the adjoining patio doors in this bedroom. Floor-level lighting guides you upstairs to Homefield’s four individually-styled bedrooms – two with balconies to enjoy the astounding views when you waken. The elegant master bedroom with king size bed, in soothing neutrals, has an en suite bathroom with free-standing bath, shower, vanity unit basin, wc, and heated towel rail. Start the day taking in the view of the wooded hillside from the bedroom’s private balcony. Bedroom two basks in deeper earth tones, with a semi Chesterfield double bed frame, and French doors onto a private balcony. The twin single beds of bedroom three are framed by striking marine-striped walls. Sense the blue of the sea with the white sands of nearby beaches. Bedroom four has an invigorating vibrancy, in dark strawberry red accents, complemented by modern Queen Anne-style furniture and a double bed. The crisply minimalist family shower room has a distinctive long wash basin and double shower area. OUTSIDE From the kitchen-diner, the room flows out through the glass walls onto the terraced decking, giving a choice of seating and dining areas. Gather to enjoy the incredible Dart estuary views from the lower terrace; there’s dining for up to 8 on the middle terrace, where you can also lay back to enjoy the Summer warmth on the sunloungers. PARKING A large double garage comfortably fits two cars, and is secured by an electrically-controlled door. There’s further on-street parking (which has seasonal restrictions). Unrestricted street parking is available a few minutes along the road. PETS Up to two well-behaved dogs are welcome at Homefield.

The Neighbourhood Within a few minutes' walk, you’re in pretty, boaty Kingswear.

Kingswear Village Stores is packed with everything you need for supplies back at the house. Cross via a funny little car ferry – an eight-vehicle float that's pulled across the water by a tug – to Dartmouth, on the opposite bank, where you will discover a plethora of chichi shops and galleries, an Elizabethan butterwalk, Mitch Tonks' Rockfish seafood chippy and countless fantastic restaurants and pubs. It’s well worth popping over to Dartmouth just to see the
