The Edge Overview
This beautiful property is perfect for up to four guests. Nestled away along the highly desirable Beacon Road in Kingswear (on the banks of the River Dart) the views are utterly glorious from every level.
Entering the house from street level into the garage and utility area, the magic awaits as you walk through the inner door to the top of the gorgeous wooden spiral staircase.
Take a deep breath, because here you will find the immaculate master bedroom (super king) with sensational views through the sliding glass doors, and the incredible wrap-around glass and teak decked balcony. This is the perfect spot to sit with a book or drink in those views. Or just imagine sitting with a cup of tea in the morning taking in passing sailing boats, the view across to the Dartmouth Castle or further out to sea.
Descend down the wooden spiral staircase to the ground floor and there is a second bedroom (super king) which leads out into the garden area with a rattan sofa to relax on plus matching chairs and coffee table. The bedroom has an en suite bathroom with large marble bath and walk in shower.
The open-plan kitchen, dining and seating area will be a great hub of both entertaining and relaxing, and there is a stylish wood burner that will keep you warm on cooler nights. The huge glass windows slide back to let you enjoy an al fresco lifestyle, and lead out to a sensational decked balcony with outdoor dining table and chairs, plus a couple of sun loungers to catch those rays (or 50 winks).
Everything is on your doorstep and conveniently situated. It is a short walk to the characterful Lower Ferry which takes you quickly to the bustling town of Dartmouth on the opposite side of the river, either on foot or by car. From there you can explore the many shops, visit the historic castle or embark on a scenic river trip. In Kingswear itself, there is a busy Marina, post office, local shop, café, two pubs and of course Kingswear station for the historic and scenic steam train journey to Paignton. The village is a Mecca to the sailing community, with the River Dart being a superb natural harbour, accommodating several marinas and deep-water moorings and the village is the home of the Royal Dart Yacht Club, hosts of the annual Royal Regatta.

- We strongly recommend not parking in the garage unless you have a small car. Should there be cars opposite, this can be a little tricky so please do be careful. Should you need to park elsewhere, there is on road parking but there are locations that are 'permit only' so keep an eye out for these so you don't park there
- Please note that the location is hilly
- Please note that dogs are not allowed in the property under any circumstances due to the dangers of being on the edge as the name suggests.
If you’d like to check any specific information that isn't mentioned in our descriptions, please call us and speak to one of our Holiday Consultants or see our FAQ's page.
Parking Information
There is one parking space in the garage for a small car only should you wish to use this during your stay. Turning in and out of the garage can be difficult, especially if cars are parked opposite, so street parking is often the easiest option.
If you choose not to park down Beacon Road, a trolly is provided in the garage for you to load and unload your luggage.

The Edge Location
With its brightly painted cottages clinging to the hillside, Kingswear sits at the mouth of the River Dart with outstanding views to Dartmouth and the sea.
Just a 5 minute ferry crossing from Dartmouth and a short car journey from Brixham (on the other side of the head), this peaceful village puts you right in the heart of South Devon and everything it has to offer.
The Dartmouth Steam Railway is one of the area’s most unique attractions. From Kingswear, it winds along the River Dart before turning inland to reach Paignton. You don’t have to be a train enthusiast to experience how marvellous this little railway is. From the comfort of your window seat, you can take in the beauty of the South Hams. Why not hop off at one of the stops along the way and explore the English Riviera some more?
With views across the river to Dartmouth and Dartmouth Castle, Kingswear’s picturesque waterfront is the perfect place to stop for a bite to eat or a drink. Despite its small size, the village has a handful of delightful pubs and restaurants and is just a stone’s throw from all that the neighbouring town has to offer.
