Victoria Road, Dartmouth

The Bolt Hole is a substantial attached town-centre residence, ideally situated in a level position in the heart of Dartmouth, within easy walking distance of the town’s excellent range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities. An appealing feature of the property is its accessibility, having been adapted over the years to accommodate those with reduced mobility, with level access from the front and lift access to the first floor.

Offering versatile and generously proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors, the property would make an excellent full-time residence or second home. The flexible layout provides the potential for three or four bedrooms, complemented by three en-suite facilities, a further bathroom and shower room, an impressive sitting room, separate dining room and a recently refurbished kitchen. Additional benefits include a useful utility room, cloakroom, private rear courtyard garden and off-road parking for at least two vehicles.
