Accommodation comprises of open plan living area and kitchen, master bedroom, single bedroom and attic with twin beds and a wash basin.

The feeling in the house is 'light and airy', lots of pine and original features, rural views, lush and green. 4 minutes walk into the town centre, 1 minute to a child's play park area.

Golf
Dartmouth Golf and Country Club, approx 5 miles away, has fabulous spa and leisure facilites, and a great restaurant. Plenty of excellent eating establishments, my favorites: bar, less formal is the Dartmouth Arms located by the Lower Ferry. Anzac Street Bistro, also Wildfire are always good, not to mention Mitch Tonks Fish restaurant! Dittisham is another favorite, the Ferry Boat Inn on the banks of the Dart, you can catch the ferry up from the Embankment in Dartmouth, day times, great for crab fishing on the pontton, or a visit to Agatha Christies Estate just opposite at Greenway Quay.

About the owner
Dartmouth is a great place, my favorite spots are, Sugary Cove, head to the mouth of the river and take a right, a few minutes by car, take the ferry, or about 20 mins by foot. The cove is reached by many(!) steps down, lots of rock pools await at low tide, has the sun 'til late afternoon. Dittisham is an absolute must further inland on the edge of the River Dart, great pub on the beachside, and the Anchorstone Cafe, - the most amazing seafood! By road takes about 20 minutes, park down on the Ham, or take the ferry, runs half hourly through the summer. Agatha Christie's estate is opposite, fabulous gardens, delicious afternoon teas! Sharpham wines, absolutely fab organise a visit! Wine tasting and lunch.
The Spa at Dart Marina has some great offers on, lunch and 'dip' or supper and 'dip
Year purchased: 1970's
Why the owner chose a home in this location
The house has lots of pine, and original features, it is very peaceful, at the far end of Orchard Terrace, Ford, only pedestrian access makes it very cosy. The basement is now self contained. No one walks past Mallard House, only those visiting and enjoying it's cosiness!
Unique benefits of the property
Mallard House is situated about 4 mins from the waterfront, close enough to enjoy the 'throng' of the town, and far enough away to be peaceful. The local Spar shop is less than two minutes away, open 'til 10pm, very handy! Ford is just off of Victoria Road, which is the old road out of town, also the main bus route.
I can arrange parking for you in Mount Boone, the road runs adjacent to the New Road, behind which the Britannia Royal Naval College holds court above, it's £25 for the week.
