Property information

Thornwell Cottage is a beautiful 200-year-old home with stunning gardens and fantastic river views. This Grade II-listed cottage has been lovingly renovated as a home for all seasons. The flagstone floors, exposed beams, and cosy log burner emanate charm. Outside, lose yourself in the extensive garden with its rolling grassland, orchard, wildflowers, and tended plants and shrubs. Private, quiet, yet close to the village amenities and riverside. One small dog can come too, by prior arrangement.

Neighbourhood information

Dittisham truly is a Devon gem. Nestled a few miles upstream from Dartmouth, this unspoiled and tranquil village is perfect for a relaxing riverside break and really makes the most of its waterside location. Watersports, fishing, sailing, paddle boarding and leisurely river rides are on your doorstep. Or why not hire a boat and explore the valley at your own pace? On land, the shoreline meadow makes for a perfect picnic spot. Downstream by the jetty is The Ferry Boat Inn – drink and dine while enjoying picture-perfect views across the river valley beyond. It’s also where you can hire a canoe or kayak and paddle the river’s shallower waters. Dittisham is also superbly connected by river to the Dart Valley’s must-see villages, towns, and attractions. Year-round frequent ferries take you to the historic port of Dartmouth, picturesque Kingswear and the eclectic charms of Totnes. And, just across the river on the opposite bank, a quick boat trip takes you to Agatha Christie’s resplendent Greenway holiday home and gardens, now cared for by the National Trust, and an idyllic day out.
