Gardens
The landscaped gardens at Elm Vale Lodge are wonderfully private and a true delight, being well-established and beautifully stocked with an array of flowers and shrubs, providing enjoyment all year round. The gardens adjoin neighbouring countryside, as it sweeps down the valley to the sea, and the far-reaching coastal views make a glorious backdrop as you sit and enjoy a spot of al fresco dining on the wrap around terrace. Recently modernised and insulated double garage suitable for multiple uses. Electric door with side glass door and window offering glorious views, currently used in part as an artist's studio. There is a driveway and parking for several vehicles.
The South Hams is arguably one of the most sought-after waterfront locations in the UK with an uncommonly temperate climate and golden beaches. The parish of Kingswear stretches from the mouth of the Dart Estuary along the coast towards Brixham, with Gattery Lane being the last point. Gattery Lane is a quiet, wooded, green lane, and Elm Vale Lodge, has an enviable setting, being the last house before the glorious expanse of neighbouring countryside sweeps down the valley to the sea. This landscape is protected by designation as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with outstanding walks, including the South West Coast Path, which is described between Sharkham and Man Sands as 'one not to be missed, with a wealth of wildflowers, a tiny and remote sandy cove, and a fast-changing wetland nature reserve'.
The thriving and popular village of Kingswear is situated on the banks of the River Dart, surrounded by National Trust owned countryside. The village offers two popular pubs, a tapas wine bar, post office, village shop, primary
school, and a church. Kingswear is home to The Royal Dart Yacht Club and two marinas, Noss Marina and Dart Haven Marina. Dartmouth, which is across the river and accessible by ferry all year round, offers a wider range of amenities including two supermarkets, medical centre, dentists, leisure centre, cinema, and swimming pool.
The larger hub of Torquay is about 8 miles away, and there are also three Grammar Schools within the catchment. The former home of Agatha Christie on the River Dart at Greenway is about 2 miles, there is an abundance of beaches and coves, nearby golf courses at Dartmouth and Churston and the well-loved steam train which runs from Kingswear to Paignton.
Further afield is Dartmoor National Park, providing opportunities for riding and other outdoor activities. Communication links in the area are excellent with the A380 being about 5 miles and offering access to the M5 motorway at Exeter. There are mainline rail links to London Paddington from both Totnes and Newton Abbot, taking about 2hr 40 mins.
Kingswear – Dartmouth Higher Ferry 2 miles, Brixham Harbour 2 miles, Totnes train station 9 miles (All distances and times are approximate)
