Flat 4 Newcomen Court, Oxford Street, Dartmouth, Devon

A Dartmouth Investment with Lifestyle Appeal

A fantastic opportunity to acquire a two bedroom apartment in the heart of Dartmouth, offering enormous potential for someone looking for a Devon bolthole, sailing base or holidaylet investment.

Perfectly positioned on Oxford Street, right in the centre of this much loved South Devon town, Apartment 4 puts the very best of Dartmouth almost immediately on the doorstep. Independent shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs and galleries are all close by, while the River Dart, historic waterfront and harbour are within easy reach.

For anyone who loves sailing, boating and the water, Dartmouth is particularly appealing. The River Dart provides an exceptional setting for sailing and watersports, with the town offering easy access to the South Devon coastline and some of the area’s most beautiful beaches, castle and coastal walks.

The apartment occupies the second floor of this centrally located building and, although now requiring modernisation, offers an exciting opportunity to create a stylish two bedroom Dartmouth retreat.

The front door from Oxford Street opens into the communal entrance hall, with stairs leading to the second floor. Apartment 4 has recently benefited from the installation of a new regulated fire door, opening into a private entrance hall with useful space for coats and shoes.

The principal bedroom is a lovely, generously proportioned room, with a built-in recessed wardrobe and bookshelf, together with a traditional sash window overlooking Oxford Street. There is ample space for a double bed and further bedroom furniture.

The second bedroom enjoys dual-aspect windows overlooking Newcomen Street and Oxford Street, creating a particularly light and airy room. It also benefits from a built-in wardrobe and space for a double bed. Alternatively, for those wanting a luxurious one bedroom Dartmouth abode, this would make an excellent dressing room, home office or occasional guest bedroom.

The heart of the apartment is the generous L - shaped sitting and dining room, featuring two sash windows overlooking Newcomen Street. This is an excellent space from which to watch the activity of Dartmouth unfold below. There is a TV point, telephone point and a long mantel-style shelf providing display space.

A short internal hallway leads to the bathroom, currently fitted with a bath, wash hand basin and WC, together with a rear facing window. The boiler is housed within the bathroom and there is also access to useful loft storage.

The kitchen is currently of a more traditional style and is ready for updating. It includes worktop areas with cupboards above and below, an electric oven and hob, twin stainless-steel sink and drainer and a freestanding tall fridge/freezer.

The real attraction is the potential.
With a new kitchen and bathroom, fresh decoration, contemporary flooring and thoughtful interior design, this could become a highly desirable Dartmouth base with strong appeal to holidaymakers, sailing enthusiasts or buyers seeking a permanent Devon home.

Most rooms have also recently benefited from new double-glazed sash windows, combining the character of the building with improved modern comfort.

Investment Potential

For an investor, the apartment offers the opportunity to purchase a property in an established and highly desirable South Devon destination, then add value through refurbishment.

For a lifestyle buyer, it could become the perfect lock-up-and-leave Dartmouth escape – somewhere to spend weekends sailing on the River Dart, enjoying the waterfront restaurants and cafés, exploring the South Devon coast or simply relaxing in one of Devon’s most attractive towns.

The apartment is situated above Gifts for Gentlemen, with Dartmouth’s bustling town centre atmosphere immediately outside.

The building is managed and insured by a professional Property Management Company, with the current shared contribution being approximately £150 per calendar month per apartment. Communal facilities include a ground-floor storage cupboard, lighting and maintenance of the inside and external building, and an external recycling/waste storage area, with waste collection managed by South Hams District Council.

An Opportunity to Create Something Special

For someone who knows and loves Dartmouth, this is an opportunity to buy into the town at an attractive level, undertake a programme of modernisation and create a property tailored either to personal use, holiday letting or a combination of the two.

With its central location, two bedrooms, character features, recently upgraded sash windows and genuine scope for improvement, Apartment 4 deserves consideration from anyone looking for a Dartmouth investment with the added benefit of an enviable South Devon lifestyle.
