Victoria Road, Dartmouth

Set within the highly sought-after South Devon district of South Hams, this charming and well presented period property offers the opportunity to acquire a pretty home within comfortable walking distance of Dartmouth’s vibrant town centre and picturesque riverside.

Enjoyed as a much-loved second home, the house has been the subject of a sympathetic programme of improvement. The result is a warm, welcoming and practical home including a lovely loft extension to create a main bedroom suite, a contemporary fitted kitchen, an upgraded family bathroom and a new decked courtyard.

Arranged over three floors with the additional benefit of a basement, the accommodation is versatile, well balanced and ideally suited to both full-time living and use as a coastal retreat.

The property is approached via a pretty paved terrace to the front, creating an attractive and welcoming entrance. Stepping inside, the entrance hall immediately sets the tone, with the staircase rising directly ahead and doors opening into both the main living space and the kitchen.

The sitting and dining room is a particularly well-proportioned room, benefitting with natural light from a large front-facing bay window. A built-in window seat also provides useful storage. The layout comfortably accommodates both a seating area and a dining table, making it ideal for everyday living as well as entertaining family and friends. From here, the room flows through to the kitchen, creating a sociable and practical ground-floor arrangement. The kitchen is well equipped, featuring a good range of built-in wall and base units, integrated appliances and ample worktop space. On the lower ground floor is a useful basement space.

The first floor provides two double bedrooms - these rooms are served by a spacious and well-appointed family bathroom, which has been upgraded to offer modern fittings and a comfortable, relaxing environment. This level is perfectly arranged for family use or visiting guests, with excellent separation between the principal bedroom suite and the remaining accommodation.

The second floor loft extension has created a delightful main bedroom, forming a private retreat at the top of the house. The room is well proportioned and benefits from excellent natural light, together with useful under-eaves storage that maximises practicality without compromising the sense of space. A stylish en-suite shower room completes this level.

To the front of the property, the paved terrace provides an attractive spot for a morning coffee whilst to the rear, there is a fully enclosed decked seating area, creating a sheltered and low-maintenance outdoor space which is ideal for dining, relaxing or entertaining in the warmer months. A valuable feature for a central Dartmouth home is the hardstanding parking space to the rear of the property, offering convenient off-street parking.

Dartmouth is a beautiful waterside town, particularly well known as a sailing centre with excellent facilities for yachtsmen and its famous annual Royal Regatta. The town provides a good range of shops, restaurants and galleries and is surrounded by stunning countryside and a short drive from some of the most beautiful beaches in the area. There are several excellent golf courses within easy reach and railway links to London Paddington can be made locally at Totnes, about 13 miles to the north. Access to the A38 Devon Expressway at Buckfastleigh is about 19 miles away.
