Harbour Heights, Fairview Road, Dartmouth

A Contemporary 2 Bedroom Home With Garages Set In An Elevated South-Facing Location With Views Over Dartmouth

Harbour Heights makes intelligent use of its setting - an unusual contemporary home in popular Fairview Road, where considered design has allowed a surprisingly generous two-Bedroom home to sit comfortably above two Garages.

From the outside, the architecture has a quiet confidence. Cedar, metal and exposed stone give the house a modern, natural palette, with materials chosen to sit comfortably within their surroundings rather than compete with them. The result is a home with a distinct character of its own, contemporary and thoughtfully conceived from the outset.

The cleverness of the design becomes more apparent as you spend time here. The two Garages occupy the level beneath the home, making particularly good use of the footprint of the plot, while the living accommodation above benefits from an abundance of natural light and a wonderful sense of openness.

At the heart of the home is an Open-Plan Kitchen, Dining and Living Room, a sociable space designed to make the most of its elevated position. Tilt and turn windows open the room to the air and bring the outside in, while Juliet Balconies add another subtle connection with the landscape beyond. From here, the outlook stretches across the surrounding countryside and down towards the River Dart, giving the Living Space a changing backdrop throughout the day.

The two Bedrooms are both well proportioned and similarly benefit from the outlook. The Principal Bedroom has the added convenience of an En-Suite Shower Room, creating a private retreat at the end of the day, while the second Bedroom offers flexibility for guests, family or those working from home. A stylish modern Shower Room completes the accommodation.

Its position also makes it an appealing base from which to enjoy Dartmouth. The town's historic streets, independent shops, cafés and restaurants lead down towards the River Dart, where the waterfront provides a natural focus for life in the town. Royal Avenue Gardens offers a green space beside the river, while Dartmouth's maritime character is evident throughout the harbour and along the embankment.

Harbour Heights is a home shaped by its site, with the architecture responding intelligently to the contours of the plot and the landscape beyond. Contemporary materials, generous glazing and an Open-Plan Living Space combine with the countryside and river views to create something rather different from the more traditional homes found in Dartmouth.
