Juniper Cottage, 76 Above Town, Dartmouth

A Charming Period Cottage With A Contemporary Twist On Desirable Above Town. Dartmouth With Sensational River & Sea Views.

Juniper Cottage is one of Dartmouth’s distinctive, colourful period Cottages, set in a row running parallel with the River Dart. Behind its charming exterior, this home has a welcoming feel, with original features, considered modern touches and, above all, a wonderful outlook across the water.

A covered Porch provides a sheltered entrance, opening into a pleasant Hallway that leads through to the Living Room. Here, beautiful wooden flooring, period storage cupboards and an attractive feature fireplace give the room its character. The seating is arranged around the fireplace, while the bay window draws the eye towards the river. A window seat makes the most of this position, offering a particularly lovely place to sit and watch the changing light across the Dart and out to sea.

The Kitchen is fitted with well-designed Neptune Shaker cabinetry in warm timber tones, bringing a natural warmth to the room. Glazed French doors open onto the rear of the property, where a small, cleverly terraced Garden creates a pleasant outlook and a sheltered spot outside. A useful ground floor Shower Room completes the downstairs accommodation.

Upstairs, the generous Principal Bedroom has an original fireplace that adds character, while a second window seat provides another opportunity to enjoy the river views. From here, a small balcony offers an elevated perspective across the Dart, with the water and surrounding landscape providing a lovely backdrop to the room.

The second Bedroom is a good-sized room with an appealingly quirky vaulted ceiling, giving it an individual character with a more contemporary feel. The third Bedroom also has a vaulted ceiling and looks out over the terraced garden to the rear. The Bathrooms are stylishly and modernly appointed, complementing the Cottage’s period details without detracting from its character.

Outside, it is the river-facing Patio that truly sets Juniper Cottage apart. Glass ballustrading preserves the sweep of the view, allowing the Dart to take centre stage while creating an inviting place to sit. Catch the morning sun with a coffee, linger over a leisurely lunch or settle in for balmy evenings with a glass of wine as the light fades across the water. The outlook is sensational, and the patio makes it wonderfully easy to enjoy it.

Throughout the Cottage, the windows, rooms and outdoor spaces each offer their own connection with the river. From the window seat in the living room to the balcony of the Principal Bedroom, from the French doors of the kitchen to the river-facing patio, Juniper Cottage continually draws the eye back towards the Dart.

Here, the view is not simply something to admire. It is woven through the house, giving each room its own relationship with the water and making the changing light, weather and seasons part of everyday life.
