This elegant luxury property is set in Kingswear’s quiet historic Conservation Area, on the South West Coast Path, via the side gate to Prince’s Steps; ideal for exploring the area by foot, including The old Battery and National Trust Coleton Fishacre. All in South Hams National Landscape.

Opposite the house are public steps down to Colins Quay, the Dart, and a petite beach perfect for crabbing or launching a paddle board. Enjoy Kingswear pubs and fresh caught local fish and chips Friday nights from the Fish Shack.

Omega is 300m from the lower ferry to Dartmouth with its award winning restaurants, bars, cafes, shops and galleries.

Kingswear and Dartmouth have a warm microclimate where spring comes early and the magnificent Magnolias bloom from mid February onwards, along with Camelias, Japonicas, purple Periwinkles, primroses and daffodils. Visit in March or April to catch them in their full glory. The micro climate also allows giant agave, tree ferns, palm trees and other subtropical flowers to flourish.
