The Old Bakery, Clarence Street, Dartmouth

A Sophisticated, Fully Renovated Townhouse in the Heart of Dartmouth

Tucked along one of Dartmouth’s most desirable streets, The Old Bakery is a Grade II listed 18th-century townhouse that has undergone an extensive programme of renovation over the past two years. The result is a home that combines the character of its Georgian heritage with a carefully considered, high-specification finish designed for modern living.

Behind the elegant façade lies a light-filled interior where every detail has been updated. The heart of the home is the newly installed Kitchen, fitted with a premium AEG venting induction hob, Bosch eye-level ovens and warming drawer, a Quooker boiling-water tap, shaker-style cabinetry and cool white granite worktops. Quorn Stone porcelain flooring is laid throughout the ground floor, with inset Cormar Pimlico satin carpet for a cosy fireplace setting. Glazed French doors open directly to a re-modelled Mediterranean-style slate Patio, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out.

The adjoining Living Room is bright and inviting, featuring whitewashed walls, soft textures, and a new Stovax log burner set within a charming inglenook fireplace. New Keswick column radiators run throughout the house, complementing the period aesthetic while delivering modern efficiency, and plantation shutters have been fitted to every room to enhance privacy and light control.

Upstairs, a second reception room offers a sense of space and character, with sash windows, original bookcases and a period fireplace. Across the Hallway, a generous Bedroom with original built-in storage connects to a second, fully equipped Kitchen with Patio access, creating superb flexibility for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or income-generating holiday letting.

Four newly fitted Bathrooms and Shower Rooms are thoughtfully positioned throughout the house, including a discreetly designed hidden Shower Room on this level.

On the top floor, two further spacious Bedrooms offer their own distinct appeal. The Principal Suite enjoys dual-aspect sash windows and a signature round window framing views over the town and river, along with a modern En-suite Shower Room – a true private retreat after a day exploring Dartmouth.

Externally, the chic walled Patio has been fully redesigned with slate paving, whitewashed walls and a bespoke Maanta sail canopy, offering a private, south-facing space for outdoor dining, quiet relaxation, or returning from a swim or paddleboard session. The property also benefits from a new Kensington prime slate roof, secure gated access and thoughtful storage solutions, including built-in storage for bikes and watersports equipment, making it a uniquely practical town-centre home.

The Old Bakery offers a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored townhouse that is both stylish and highly functional – perfect for those seeking a versatile home that works equally well for family life, hosting, or as a multi-generational retreat, all just moments from Dartmouth’s waterfront, cafés and galleries.Postcode: TQ6 9NW
