19 Swannaton Road is a unique and contemporary detached house, set in an elevated position with glorious views. Originally built in the 1950s and remodelled by Nic Bailey, formerly of Norman Foster Architects. An external staircase rises from the parking area to the entrance hall, where there is a cloakroom and boot/coat storage. From here, you walk through to the kitchen/dining/living room, an outstanding design which extends some 36' and is clearly the heartbeat of this beautiful home. The kitchen is fitted with bespoke cabinetry and appliances, and there is a log burning stove in the living area, flanked by seating benches built into the walls, and the glazed floor to ceiling wall at the far end, with a sublime views, is a showstopper.

A second reception room, which is the TV/family room is situated off the living area with a vaulted ceiling. Stairs descend to the lower ground floor, behind a glazed galleried balustrade. The lower level comprises five beautifully proportioned bedrooms, each with a good provision of storage and views onto the front gardens and out to the valley. A third reception room, with a high-pitched glazed roof, would lend well to an impressive dining room or studio.

Gardens
Externally, the gardens and terraces are an integral part of the overall experience of the house. Primarily laid to lawn, with herbaceous border and specimen trees, they are accessed via several points around the house, including the timber-clad balconies. The views from the upper terraces are breath-taking, and the outside spaces are teeming with wildlife; buzzards, jays, woodpeckers and tawny owls are a regular sight. 19 Swannaton Lane has parking for a number of vehicles. There is a shared track off Swannaton Lane which leads to number 19 and other houses. There is private parking for a number of vehicles..


Number 19 is situated at the upper end of Swannaton Road, a single track lane that winds its way uphill away from the hustle and bustle of the town. With the likes of Dyer's Hill and Gallants Bower, both National Trust owned woods nearby, 19 Swannaton Road has wonderful countryside walks on its doorstep and is a short stroll from Dartmouth's waterfront, shops and restaurants. Dartmouth is situated in the South Hams in South Devon, largely listed as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and well known for its rugged coastline, sandy beaches and glorious countryside.

Dartmouth sits at the mouth of the River Dart, one of five estuaries to be found in the South Hams and is home to the Britannia Royal Naval College. This pretty and popular waterside town offers an abundance of boutiques, galleries, pubs and restaurants and benefits from a medical centre, cinema, library, two swimming pools, a leisure centre and three supermarkets. Throughout the year, the town hosts a number of fabulous events and festivals, including the Dartmouth Music Festival, The Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta and Dartmouth Food Festival. The town's deep-water port attracts sailing vessels from all over the world and is one of the prettiest in
Europe. Totnes (12 miles) offers a main line rail link to London Paddington in 2 hours 40 minutes and the A38 (19 miles), provides access to the cities of Plymouth, Exeter and the M5 beyond.
