LOCATION
Situated on the banks of one of the most beautiful estuaries in the British Isles, Dartmouth is one of Devon’s most beloved waterfront towns and home to Britannia Royal Naval College. Combining maritime heritage and quintessential chocolate box charm, this bustling harbour town is a picturesque mix of historic buildings, cafés, pubs, restaurants and boutique galleries and shops. Dartmouth’s calendar is alive with events, including the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, Food Festival, Music Festival, Book Festival and Gallery week. Dartmouth is home to two supermarkets, an M&S Food Hall, leisure centre, a library, a cinema, both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a health and wellbeing centre, two primary schools and a secondary school, whilst across the river is Churston Ferrers Grammar School. Dartmouth lies within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, an area famous for its stunning coastline with sandy beaches and hidden coves. The South West Coast Path follows the coastline around the town and offers access to miles of scenic walking. The mainline train station at Totnes runs a regular service to London in 2 hrs 40 mins, and the A38 (M5) is about 13 miles.

There are two south facing balconies on this floor both with wonderful views, and a useful and large laundry room completes this level. The second floor is the heart of the house with a stunning open plan kitchen, dining and living room. The kitchen is comprehensively fitted and centred around a substantial live edge oak-topped island, and there is a range of integrated appliances including oven, induction hob, microwave, dishwasher and American-style fridge freezer. This beautiful and impressive room has wall-to-wall glazing with sliding doors that open onto a full-width terrace, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living and framing the outstanding views, and a living flame gas fire. In addition on this floor, is a utility room and cloakroom.
