Nestled in a peaceful setting just a short stroll from Warfleet Creek, 2 The Old Coach House is a charming and beautifully presented home with origins dating to the late 19th Century. Once the stables for the nearby Warfleet House, this characterful property sits on Weeke Hill, a tranquil road connecting Warfleet to Little Dartmouth and offers its residents a wonderful semi-rural lifestyle within just minutes of the River Dart, Dartmouth town centre and the South West Coast Path. Tastefully renovated throughout and benefitting from a new roof installed in 2023, the property combines period charm with low-maintenance modern living. The bright and sociable open-plan ground floor offers a sitting and dining space, a well-equipped kitchen complimented by a separate utility room with independent access and shower room completes the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs there are two well-proportioned bedrooms (one with ensuite), a family bathroom and a stunning vaulted living space with exposed beams adds versatility, serving equally well as a third bedroom or home office. To the front, an attractive low-maintenance courtyard garden is accompanied by parking for one or two vehicles.
Accommodation
The front door opens to an entrance hall and leads into a beautifully conceived open-plan living space. Twin bay windows to the front flood the room with natural light, while a feature fireplace with gas stove creates a cosy and inviting focal point. The layout is both sociable and versatile, ideal for entertaining with the sitting and dining areas thoughtfully defined within the space. Built-in shelving adds character and practicality in equal measure. The kitchen flows naturally from the dining area and is well-appointed with a range of floor and wall-mounted units alongside integrated appliances including a dishwasher and fridge, with space provided for an electric oven. A separate utility room offers additional storage, a second sink and an integrated freezer, and benefits from its own independent access from the driveway, the perfect arrival point after a coastal walk or a day on the water at the nearby Warfleet Creek. A well-appointed shower room with shower, WC, wash hand basin, heated towel rail and plumbing for a washing machine completes the ground floor accommodation.
Stairs rise to the first floor and an additional living area with a partially vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, glass panelling and a stainless steel balustrade that together lend real character and style.

The principal bedroom is generously proportioned and benefits from a well-appointed en suite shower room comprising shower, WC, wash hand basin and heated towel rail. The second bedroom comfortably accommodates a double bed. A family bathroom with a bath and overhead shower, WC, wash hand basin and heated towel rail serves the remaining accommodation.
