To the rear of the property is a securely fenced level lawn with two garden sheds and a mature hedgerow along the boundary, providing a good level of privacy. For the more ambitious yachtsman, there are deep water moorings, three marinas and a number of boat yards. For the cruising yachtsman, Kingswear is the perfect base from which to explore France, the Channel Islands and the picturesque harbours and creeks of the West Country. Kingswear and its immediate surrounding areas have a number of sandy beaches, coves and sheltered anchorages, all of which make it excellent for water sports and boating. Communication links are excellent with the A38 Devon expressway 20 miles to the north and the M5 motorway at Exeter. There are regular inter-city rail services from both Exeter (London Paddington 2 hours) and Totnes (London Paddington 2 and ¾ hours). Exeter airport has a growing number of domestic and international flights, including daily flights to London City Airport. Location In the South Hams, the village of Kingswear stands on the east bank of the River Dart opposite the thriving town of Dartmouth. The village is located in the heart of the highly sought after area of south Devon, known as the South Hams. The region is known for having an uncommonly temperate climate, consisting of wonderful unspoilt countryside, hidden coombs and a spectacular coastline. Kingswear has two pubs, a church, village store and a post office as well as The Royal Dart Yacht Club and a privately owned Marina. Dartmouth, a short ferry ride away, has a larger collection of restaurants, pubs, boutique shops, banks, chain stores and supermarkets. It is also home to the Britannia Royal Naval College. There are a number of lovely beaches in the South Hams and excellent golf courses at Dartmouth and Churston. Both Kingswear and Dartmouth have excellent facilities for sailing, with the Dartmouth Royal Regatta being a highlight of the racing calendar.
