SITUATIONDittisham is one of the most attractive and unspoilt villages in Devon. Sitting on the west bank of the River Dart, the village has a thriving community with a church, a post office / general store, two pubs, a waterside cafe and a sailing club. The nearby riverside towns of Dartmouth, home to the Britannia Royal Naval College and Totnes, which offers a mainline rail link to London, provide a comprehensive range of facilities. Communications are good with the A38 Devon Expressway about 17 miles to the north which in turn leads to the M5 at Exeter.

DESCRIPTIONOccasionally, a rare and exciting jewel in the crown will come to the market for the very first time in many years and Dinah’s Side is just that jewel. This gorgeous ‘chocolate box’ cottage has been in the same ownership since the 1940s and the family have now decided it’s time to let the next generation enjoy what this enchanting home is able to offer. The setting is similar to something akin ‘Swallows and Amazons’, lazy summer days spent in the gardens on the banks of the river or if feeling a little more energetic, rowing round to the village pub for a spot of lunch.

The house offers comfortable, if a little dated, accommodation comprising a sitting room, dining room, conservatory, kitchen and utility room on the ground floor and three double bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor. The house is set on the edge of the highly sought after village of Dittisham and being south facing, enjoys the best of the weather. It is quite simply idyllic….

GARDENS AND GROUNDSThe track, which is approached by crossing a bridge over the creek, leads to Dinah’s Side and one other. At the end of the track, the five bar gate leads to the private drive and parking for Dinah’s Side. The well established and beautiful grounds offer a peaceful haven, with level lawns, flower beds, terraces and woodland. An historical Grade II Listed Lime Kiln is within the garden and adjoins a workshop and store with Artist’s Studio above.
