An unusual, reverse-level property near to the heart of Dartmouth, with superb 180 degree views across the river, towards Dartmouth Castle and out to sea, Spyglass is a charming former sail loft, maintaining its naval character throughout.

This quirky cosy property sleeps four and would be suited to a couple or small family wanting to enjoy exploring the South Devon coast and AONB.

Spyglass is approached via 32 steps up, which form part of a public footpath, enter the property at ground-floor level and find two bedrooms; the 'Captain's Bedroom', a double bedroom with feature wooden panelling, a wall-mounted electric heater and subtle nods to the nautical theme, and the 'Crew's bedroom', a twin room with fitted wardrobe and electric heater. The recently refurbished shower room has a large, slightly elevated electric shower, where you can start each day with a refreshing rinse.

Head upstairs to find a wonderful open-plan living space, which does have limited head height in places.

The space has exposed floorboards and a cosy woodburning stove, while four wonderful Velux roof windows add a bright and spacious feeling to the room.

Relax on the sofa and enjoy a book from the window shelf, or enjoy flicking through the TV to find your favourite show, or just simply admire your incredible view.

The extendable dining table is a great space to enjoy meals together, prepared in the compact but well-equipped kitchen, with a fridge and dual microwave that doubles up as an oven and grill.

Outside, there is a roof terrace with a table and seating, which you must take advantage of and soak up those sea views.
