South Ford Road, Dartmouth

This contemporary semi-detached townhouse enjoys an enviable position within easy reach of the centre of Dartmouth, combining modern design with practical living. Unusually for such a central location, the property benefits from two garages situated beneath the house, providing excellent parking and storage.

Constructed in approximately 2008, the property has been finished to a good specification throughout and offers well-balanced, versatile accommodation arranged over four floors with 2 good sized garages on the ground floor. Upon entering the first floor there is a spacious and welcoming hallway which sets the tone for the rest of the home with a contemporary staircase, which is complemented by a dramatic full-height window that floods the space with natural light and enhances the sense of openness. There are two comfortable double bedrooms on this floor; one benefits from a stylish en suite shower room, while the second is served by a separate, well-fitted shower room. These rooms are ideal for guests, family members, or could alternatively be used as a home office or hobby space, depending on requirements.

The second floor is dedicated to the main living and entertaining areas, thoughtfully designed to maximise light and open outlook. The kitchen and dining area form a superb open-plan space, perfect for both everyday living and hosting. The kitchen itself is a standout feature, fitted with sleek cabinetry, polished granite worktops, feature lighting, and a full range of high-quality integrated appliances. Ample workspace and storage make it as practical as it is stylish. From here, doors open directly onto the rear courtyard garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

The sitting room is equally impressive, centred around two large windows that capture delightful elevated views across the town. These windows not only provide an ever-changing outlook but also allow light to pour into the room throughout the day and there is a feature electric fire providing a warm ambience throughout.

A further staircase rises to the top floor, where the lovely main bedroom suite awaits. The landing is crowned by a feature-lit domed ceiling, adding a sense of architectural drama and individuality. The bedroom itself is a peaceful retreat, enjoying far-reaching views over the town and towards the surrounding countryside. Clever use of the eaves provides discreet and practical storage solutions. The en suite bathroom is well appointed, offering both a separate bath and a rainfall shower, finished with modern fittings.

Externally, to the rear of this lovely home is a sheltered walled courtyard garden which has been thoughtfully designed for ease of maintenance while providing an attractive and private space for outdoor dining and entertaining. The paved finish enhances usability throughout the year, while a useful stone store adds further practicality. There is also side access via shared steps leading to South Ford Road.
