Summary:
16 Clarence Hill is a unique home. Known locally as ‘'The skinny house' for its quirky exterior, there's much more beyond the door. The décor sympathetically blends 21st-century aesthetics with historical character. Far-reaching views over the town, river, and out to sea from the living room and master bedroom. And there's access to the immaculately maintained ‘Secret Garden' –relax in the dappled shade of the trees or the slate conservatory as you gaze over the rooftops to the valley beyond.
Accommodation:
The front door opens into a hall with limestone flooring and plenty of storage for coats etc. One step up into the contemporary dining area which is a lovely mix of old and new with exposed brickwork on one wall, wood flooring, an extendable dining table and chairs to seat 6 to 8, small seating area with a TV. Double doors into the galley kitchen with high gloss grey modern units, granite tops, integrated Miele appliances – dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washer/dryer, gas hob with electric oven, and a microwave. Glass doors to a small rear courtyard providing light and ventilation.
Upstairs: To the first-floor sitting room with stunning views over the town and river, with comfortable furniture arranged to enjoy the view. TV with DVD/CD player. On this level, there is a bathroom has both a bath and large shower.
The second floor has two double bedrooms. The master bedroom at the front has lovely town and river views, king-size bed, ample storage, a TV and a spiral staircase to a mezzanine in the roof space with old roof timbers, and a further bathroom. The second bedroom has a double bed, exposed beams and plenty of storage.
This home has central heating throughout.
Outside:
At the rear of the property, there is a small courtyard that offers light and ventilation for the kitchen. Immediately to the front of the property, there is a south-facing seating area. Though this property is pet friendly, dogs will need to be exercised off-site (Coronation Park is a 5-minute walk from the property).
We are also delighted to offer you the use of the 'secret garden' for your stay. This is a wonderful hidden gem of trees plants and a terrace around a slate-roofed conservatory. Inside there are succulents and houseplants incorporating the old damp living wall of mosses and ferns. The garden was created from a second world war gun placement and artillery store facing out over the town to defend the Dart estuary.
The terrace garden has a dining area both outside and undercover. It's a delightful outdoor space and faces southwest, making the most of the sunshine.
The garden is accessed down steep steps opposite the house, so care is needed and it is without electricity so can only be used in daylight hours.
We love this secret garden and hope you will spend very many happy times there amongst the plants and trees cultivated and cared for by our gardener who may attend to conduct maintenance at some time during your stay. The barbecue is for your use, but we ask everybody to leave it clean for the next guests.
We hope you will enjoy the secret garden and enhance your stay in this special house at 16 Clarence Hill.
Parking:
Opposite the front door, there is a private parking space suitable for a medium/ large SUV. Additional unrestricted on-street parking can be found back up the hill on Mount Boone
A Bit of History:
16 Clarence Hill was originally an entrance and annexe to Mount Galpine House, the home of the Holdsworths – a prominent Dartmouth family. The facade is dated 1629 with exquisite carvings created in an era steeped in the town's naval and shipbuilding history. The house was completely renovated to a standard of high quality and is now a very well-appointed and equipped holiday home.
Nearby:
The shops and restaurants are a 2-minute walk away. At Coronation Park, you will find the Anchorstone Cafe. On the riverfront, you will find renowned local chef Mitch Tonks' 'The Rockfish' and 'The Seahorse'. Also on the riverside, you will find frequent transport links - including the ferries and steam train.

Outside the peak season, we can offer more flexibility on the changeover day.

This is a stunning place to stay. Must be one of the best views in Dartmouth - even after dark the view is terrific. Very clean and well-equipped. This is a very tall house, so lots of stairs. The bat… More
