Description
Enjoy the marvellous views and location of this traditional terraced house; set over four floors and sleeping six guests, 5 Fairview Road lies in the heart of the Dartmouth valley.
The property rests within walking distance of the centre of Dartmouth and enjoys fantastic features including a second-floor balcony.
Take a set of steps down to the front door and head into the ground floor to find a wonderful sitting room to relax in; a bay window offers a wealth of natural light and lovely views, with two sofas and an armchair to sink into, a Smart TV for a host of entertainment and a feature fireplace, with most rooms enjoying this traditional feature.
Along the hall you will also find a delightful double bedroom with built-in storage, while heading upstairs to the first floor brings you to the charming twin room, family bathroom featuring both a bath and a walk-in shower, and a cloakroom too.
A further set of stairs leads to the beautiful master double bedroom featuring wooden floors and a fabulous balcony, home to a bistro set, you can sit up here on a balmy summer evening with a refreshing drink soaking up the views over to the river.
Travel all the way back down to the lower ground floor to discover the elegant dining room where you can gather for delicious meals prepared in the compact yet amply-equipped kitchen, featuring an electric oven and hob, a microwave and a washing machine, with the fridge/freezer placed in the dining room.
Admire the vintage oven still set within the fireplace offering a glimpse of the property's history before heading out of the rear door and into the pretty terrace where outdoor furniture can be used for alfresco dining in the warmer weather, with the scenic backdrop of the sloping valley fields opposite.
When you're ready to explore, stroll into the town centre and begin to admire the beauty of this bustling town; wander around the harbour and watch the boats coming and going, take a picnic to enjoy in the Royal Avenue Gardens, and explore via the self-guided Dartmouth Mayflower Heritage Trail.
Visit the Tudor fortress of Bayard's Cove Fort built in the 16th century before heading up to Dartmouth Castle guarding the Dart Estuary since the 15th century with its imposing stance.
Hire a boat from the harbour and venture out onto the water for a scenic cruise along the River Dart, or take a Greenway & Dittisham Ferry Service up to the village of Dittisham, one of the most attractive villages in South Devon.
Alternatively take a ferry over to Kingswear, the village resting opposite Dartmouth on the other side of the Dart for a stroll through the area, enjoying the glorious views of Dartmouth and heading past Kingswear Castle.
While you're on this side of the river, visit the National Trust's Coleton Fishacre House and explore the beautiful exotic garden, or head along the South West Coast Path up to the wonderful town of Brixham for amazing fresh seafood, Breakwater Beach and The Golden Hind replica ship which sits in the harbour.
Don't miss a chance to visit the gorgeous shores of Blackpool Sands, a Blue Flag shingle beach in a sheltered bay, with great waters for swimming and watersports.
Enjoy a relaxing break in this picture-perfect town at 5 Fairview Road.

What guests are saying
We have stayed in the property several times over the last few years, as it is located close to town and you can park outside.
Over the years we have highlighted changes that could be made and some things have been addressed. Sadley the time has come for the house to be given a good makeover. The steps and front entrance are dirty and covered in weeds not giving a very good first impression. The outside decking area is also dirty and the plants have died. The carpets are worn and full of stains and a blind that broke last September has still not been fixed. We arrived to a broken loo, no iron and a faulty sink. Please put some love back into the house as we will not be staying again untill some updating is done.
The property is starting to look a bit tired, it is due a touch up, generally a nice place to stay.
Access is down a very narrow road with on street parking (if available). When approaching & turning left into Fairview then the turn is very difficult. Light damage was caused to my car attempting the turn. Walking into the town is down a steep hill and steps so not suitable for those with any mobility issues, returning uphill requires strong legs & lungs.
Super property, very comfortable and lots of extra goodies provided ( eg dishwasher tablets and washing liquid).
This is our second stay and it seems better every time. Loved the new rubbish bin in the kitchen that opens by itself, caused many a funny moment!!! Well done 5 Fairview lovely place to stay.
