The entrance hall leads into the stunning open plan kitchen and dining room, which is flooded with natural light thanks to the sash window facing the River Dart. There is oak flooring and an in-set gas effect fire with stone surround. The kitchen forms the heart of the home, with an extensive range of beautifully crafted drawers and cupboards, with oak and granite worktops. There is a gas Aga and an additional electric four ring hob and oven. The hand built central island is movable and provides additional storage and work top space. Behind the kitchen is the practical and attractive utility area, which is also used as a wine storage and tasting area, with seating and wine bins.
The outstanding renovation work continues to the first floor where there is a magnificent 21ft drawing room with far-reaching views over the River Dart through the two sash windows. There is an open fire, ornate ceiling plaster work and oak flooring. Beyond the drawing room is library area, providing an ideal space in which to relax with a book and enjoy the views.
From the first floor the rear terrace is accessed, an ideal area for outdoor entertaining including an Orange Barked Mytle tree and a Red Acer. The second and third floors contain the beautifully appointed bedroom accommodation. The principal bedroom has some of the finest views from the entire property, looking along and over the river towards Kingswear, Dartmouth Castle and out to sea. There is an exquisite en suite bathroom attached and a further family bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are all of elegant proportions with charming period features and stunning views.
Attached to the main house, and with its own access as well as access from the main house, the cottage offers ideal secondary accommodation for guests. It also offers great income potential from holiday lets, if desired and the cottage is finished to the same exacting standards as the main house. On the ground floor are two bedrooms and an immaculately presented bathroom. The first floor features a cleverly designed open plan living space and kitchen with vaulted ceilings and exposed timbers, above which is a mezzanine sitting area with double doors leading to a balcony with views across the river towards Kingswear and over Dartmouth town centre.
Unusually for a central Dartmouth property, The Mission House owns a double garage with an electric door and space for two vehicles. The garage is connected up for lighting, power sockets and broadband. There is a first floor storage area and a winch system to hoist a small boat, kayaks or paddleboards.
The Mission House looks out over the picturesque River Dart in an unrivalled waterfront position in Dartmouth, an iconic sailing town with a fascinating history and vibrant atmosphere. Baynards Cove is steeped in maritime history, with Bearscove Castle at the end of the quay, built in the early 1500s. In 1620 the Mayflower and Speedwell resided here before sailing across the Atlantic.
The River Dart, and in particular Dartmouth, are some of Devon's most sought after waterfront locations. Dartmouth is home to the historic Brittania Royal Navy College, acclaimed fine dining restaurants, boutiques, and artisan cafes as well as an array of shops and practical amenities such as supermarkets, vets, and doctors' surgeries.
Blackpool Sands is just under three miles from the property and is regarded as one of South Devon's finest beaches. It is a Blue Flag Beach offering clean, clear water for swimming and paddle boarding with lifeguards on duty during the summer months.
Communication links to and from the area are excellent with the A379 providing access to Paignton and then onto Exeter via the A380/A38. There is a mainline station at Totnes offering regular direct services to London Paddington taking from 2 hours 42 minutes.

The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
