Land, Kingswear, Dartmouth

Key Features

  • Stunning Location
  • Plot With Fabulous Views
  • Easy Access

Description

A rare opportunity to acquire one of Kingswear's most exciting residential development sites, occupying an elevated position with breathtaking views across the River Dart, surrounding creeks and the rolling South Hams countryside.

This exceptional site presents the chance to create a landmark development of one or two homes of distinction within one of Devon's few remaining most desirable waterside locations. Surrounded by natural beauty and enjoying a remarkable sense of privacy, the land offers a unique blend of development potential and an enviable lifestyle setting.

From its elevated position, future homes could enjoy far-reaching river and creek vistas, capturing the ever-changing maritime landscape that makes Kingswear and the Dart Estuary so highly sought-after. Residents would benefit from immediate access to coastal walks, sailing, paddleboarding and waterside living, whilst remaining moments from the passenger ferry to Dartmouth with its renowned restaurants, boutiques and vibrant waterfront.

The section of the site benefits from a historical residential allocation within the South Hams Rural Site Allocations. More recently, pre-application discussions have considered a scheme of two detached homes, presenting an exciting opportunity to create boutique, luxury residences in a setting that truly celebrates the surrounding landscape.

The land comes with a derelict lower ground floor room. The space over is a flying freehold, owned separately.

Opportunities of this nature are increasingly scarce; a substantial site, spectacular outlook, and an exceptional South Devon location combine to create a compelling proposition for developers, investors and visionaries seeking to deliver something truly special.
