This “outstanding” riverview home has striking rounded windows perfect for watching the water - and even has a secret pathway up the nearby hill.

Wayford, in Dartmouth, was built in 2008 in a traditional Arts and Crafts style and was inspired by nearby National Trust property Coleton Fishacre.

The house looks over the River Dart and its marinas, being sat in an elevated position on Ridley Hill.

Entered through a solid oak door, the entrance hall leads to an open-plan living room with a Cotswold stone feature fireplace, and a bespoke oak kitchen, with integrated appliances and a central island.

Between the living room and kitchen sits the dining room, with semi-circular French doors leading to the terrace outdoors, looking out to the river.

Also on the ground floor is a morning room with French doors, a cloakroom and a utility/laundry room.

An oak staircase leads up to a galleried landing, which has access to the principal bedroom, designed as a mirror to the living room, with matching doors that lead to a balcony and an en-suite bathroom.

The first floor also features four further double bedrooms, three with en-suite bathrooms and built-in wardrobes.

On the top floor, there is a studio/office which could be used as an additional bedroom, and has French doors out to a decked balcony overlooking Warfleet Creek.

The grounds of Wayford include a double garage and a gated driveway, as well as a secluded terrace leading from the morning room and a full-width terrace from the other downstairs rooms, bordered by a lawned area.

The garden has 180-degree views over the river, and there is also a “secret pathway” leading up Ridley Hill.

The house is being sold by Savills, and is listed for a price of £3,000,000.

Tom Bedford of Savills Devon, commented: “Not only does Wayford offer spectacular views over the River Dart from virtually every room, and beautifully established gardens, the home itself, built for the current owners in 2008, is truly outstanding.

“Inspired by Coleton Fishacre, a National Trust property nearby, the property has been constructed to a high standard, and blends contemporary comfort with elegant Arts and Crafts-style design to great effect.”
