1 The Boatyard Overview
Set right on the shimmering edge of the Kingsbridge Estuary, 1 The Boatyard is an elegant waterside Townhouse where design meets the natural beauty of this beautiful waterside setting. Set across three light-filled floors, this four-bedroom retreat offers sweeping estuary and countryside views, luxury comforts, and the kind of slow coastal rhythm that holidays are made of.
Whether you're sipping morning coffee on the balcony as the tide quietly rolls in or watching paddle boarders drift past under a golden sunset, this is a place to press pause and simply be.
Architecturally designed to frame the water at every opportunity, 1 The Boatyard balances it's coastal charm with modern style and luxury touches throughout. A private lift glides effortlessly between floors, making this home wonderfully accessible for all generations.
The open-plan kitchen and dining space is a sociable heart to the home. Seating eight with ease, it flows out to a private balcony where you can dine al fresco on local seafood with the estuary as your backdrop. Down the hall, a utility cupboard houses everything needed for longer stays - washing machine, dryer, and essentials neatly tucked away.
The top floor offers an expansive sitting room, where floor-to-ceiling glass doors invite in the ever-changing light and open out to a second waterside terrace. Sink into the deep sofas with a glass of wine or drift out to the balcony to watch the last boat of the day ripple through the still water.
Each of the four bedrooms has been thoughtfully dressed with calming tones, luxurious linens, and stylish furnishings to encourage deep rest after days exploring the South Hams and the neighbouring coastline destinations.
The master bedroom on the ground floor offers a king-size bed and estuary views, with built-in wardrobes and a sleek en-suite wet room. The adjacent double bedroom is a restful space with a family bathroom next door, with a bath and overhead shower.
The first floor bedroom also has the luxury of an en suite shower room and the second floor bedroom is ideal for younger guests or solo travellers with its own en suite shower room.
White Company Toiletries add a luxurious touch.

It may be easier to carry on up the road and turn around in Warren Road, just up the road on the left and entering the car park without having to cross over a blind corner.

1 The Boatyard Location
The busy little town of Kingsbridge lies at the head of a marine estuary in the attractive South Hams area of South Devon. Kingsbridge is home to a range of lovely independent shops and coffee shops, as well as a local cinema and an award-winning pub. During the summer season there are river excursions to Salcombe to see the abundant wildlife in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), which also forms part of the South Devon Heritage Coast. Visitors can take a walk along the Kingsbridge Quay, wander through the narrow alleys off Fore Street or visit the Shambles, an Elizabethan market arcade. Around the South Hams area there are picturesque ports, such as Dartmouth and Salcombe, together with sandy beaches at Blackpool Sands near Stoke Fleming and the two sandy beaches at Thurlestone. There are a host of small attractive villages in South Hams offering interesting pubs, local farm produce shops and pretty rows of cottages, plus further afield the waterfront city of Plymouth is a vibrant centre housing the National Marine Aquarium, historic Barbican Quay and plenty of night life, including theatres, restaurants and bars. Kingsbridge can be easily reached by train to Totnes and then a local bus service which will take you to Kingsbridge town centre.Why book with us
