4 Dodbrooke Manor, The Promenade, Kingsbridge, Devon

An elegant first-floor apartment in a handsome period building, this two-bedroom property pairs graceful proportions with the convenience of a central Kingsbridge setting. Tall windows bring light into the beautifully presented rooms, while leafy outlooks and glimpses towards the estuary create a connection with the town’s waterside surroundings. An established garden, garage and parking add to the appeal.

The approach is through the building’s impressive entrance with staircase, which is shared between the top two apartments only, rises beneath a decorative stained-glass window. Within the apartment, high ceilings, sash windows, ample storage cupboards and an elegant decoration complement the character of the period architecture.

The sitting room is a welcoming space for both quiet evenings and entertaining. Dual aspect windows overlook the gardens and rooftops beyond, with views towards the estuary. A fireplace with a wood-burning stove provides a focal point, bringing warmth and character to the room throughout the seasons.

The fitted kitchen is carefully arranged, with cabinetry and work surfaces along both sides, a Belfast-style sink and a Lacanche duel fuel stove. At the far end, a window seat makes an inviting spot from which to enjoy the outlook, while shutters give the tall window a crisp finish.

The dual aspect principal bedroom has plenty of fitted wardrobes and enjoys views across the gardens towards open countryside beyond. The second bedroom has two windows allowing in plenty of natural light and enjoys en-suite facilities. Completing the accommodation is a luxurious bathroom with a roll top bath, pedestal basin, WC, complemented by decorative wood panelling.

Outside, the established south facing garden offers lawn, planted borders and a seating area beneath a pergola. It is a lovely place to spend a sunny afternoon, with garden access onto the embankment and quay. From the apartment there is additional hallway leading down a private front door for No.4 only, opening on to Ebrington Street offering easy access to the garage, parking and additional visitor parking, providing practical benefits in this convenient town setting.
