Location

There is a wonderful rural feel to the beautiful and tranquil setting of Kingston Cottage and Swilly Barn, however the location is far from isolated. Less than two miles away the picturesque riverside village of Dittisham offers a charming
village shop, two pubs, the highly sought-after Anchorstone Café and, from the quay, there are regular ferry crossings to Greenway and down river to Dartmouth. Dittisham is considered to be one of the most attractive and unspoilt villages in Devon. The nearby riverside towns of Dartmouth,
home to the Britannia Royal Naval College and Totnes, which offers a mainline rail link to London provide a comprehensive range of facilities. Communications are good with the A38 Devon Expressway about 14 miles away, which in turn leads to the M5 at Exeter.

Square Footage: 3,025 sq ft
