Castle Road, Dartmouth

Occupying a prime position on the banks of the River Dart, Rosebank is a stunning detached waterfront residence located beside the historic Dartmouth Castle and St. Petrox Church. 

This exceptional home boasts panoramic views across the river, upstream toward Dartmouth and the BRNC (Britannia Royal Naval College), across to Kingswear, and out to sea, encompassing both Dartmouth and Kingswear Castles.

Steeped in history, the neighbouring St. Petrox Church dates back to 1192, while Dartmouth Castle, believed to have been built in the 1380’s in response to French threats stands as an iconic gateway to both the River Dart and the historic town of Dartmouth.

The ground floor has three spacious double bedrooms, a family bathroom, a separate shower room and an additional reception room. A large integral boathouse offers direct access to the water, ideal for boating enthusiasts.

The charm of Rosebank lies not only in its spectacular setting but also in its practicality, providing parking for two to three vehicles and a private pathway bordered by palm trees, mature shrubs and a well-kept lawn leading to the entrance. To the rear, a substantial terrace and hardstanding area lead down to a private bathing platform on the water’s edge, perfect for enjoying this unparalleled riverside lifestyle.
