Located in Devon, U K, Tuckenhay

There are many properties with views of the water, there are fewer properties whose grounds adjoin it, but you have to look very hard to find a home that is literally on the water, where the water laps up the walls of the house. The difference between a house whose grounds adjoin the water and a house literally on the water is massive; you have to experience it to recognise that the two are experientially miles apart. This house is wasted on anyone who doesn't love being near the water. What is more the connection to the water offers the rare privacy of a peaceful backwater, but with navigable access to Dartmouth and the English Channel beyond at the right state of tide. As if that is not enough, the house also offers an extraordinary variety between the salt water from the English Channel and the crystal clear fresh water of the River Wash that bubbles over the rocks at low tide directly in front of the house. The cantilevered landing stage with boat davits for a 2 tonne boat provides a heavenly area to enjoy, the riverside roof terrace with hot tub is just icing on the delicious cake. What is amazing is that there are no less than four wonderful pubs within comfortable walking distance, two are riverfront and can be also accessed by water subject to the right state of tide. The closest has regular live music and barbecues on the quayside, the next closest was voted number 6 in the Sunday Times Best Days Out in 2008. There are also a large number of stunning beautiful walks including the famous Dart Trail, with an unexpected seating and barbecue area a short distance away. An exclusive and vibrant community share the magnificent setting with appreciative visitors. Easy access and close proximity to the most important places make it the perfect location. Tuckenhay which has been described in the South Devon Tourist Guide as "Particularly Picturesque" is often referred to as "Devon's Best Kept Secret".
