SITUATION Dartmouth is not your average sleepy coastal town. It is buzzing with culture, art, gastronomic offerings and a lively community spirit. Well known for its famous Royal Regatta and Royal Naval College, Dartmouth is steeped in history and its architecture is unique to the town. Dartmouth provides a good range of shops, restaurants and galleries and is surrounded by wonderful countryside whilst only a short drive from some of the most beautiful beaches in the area. The A38 Devon expressway is approximately 19 miles away, allowing speedy access to the cities of Exeter and Plymouth and the country beyond whilst main line rail links to London Paddington can be made in Totnes.
DESCRIPTION The property is set in a commanding position offering wonderful far-reaching views over Dartmouth, surrounding countryside, the River Dart and out to sea. Located in a popular, quiet residential area yet conveniently situated for easy access to the town centre and River Dart being less than a 10 minute walk away. The property is a substantial, detached residence offering over 5,000 sq. ft. of versatile and elegant accommodation arranged over three floors. The front door opens to a welcoming entrance hall which leads to the characterful sitting room featuring picture and dado rails, cornicing and high ceilings. Next to the sitting room is a beautiful dining room with patio doors opening to a paved terrace. There is also a well equipped kitchen with separate utility area and a study. The property offers ten, ensuite, luxurious bedrooms with many enjoying the breath-taking views over Dartmouth. On the top floor is a beautifully presented three double bedroom self-contained apartment which would serve as a perfect annexe for those looking for multi-generational living. The apartment enjoys some of the finest views available from the property and is bathed in natural light from large Velux windows throughout.
Outside, there is off-road parking for several vehicles on a wide, tarmac and gravel driveway. Leading from the driveway is a detached outbuilding which is currently utilised as useful storage but offers potential for conversion (subject to necessary permissions). To the rear of the property is a large and smartly paved, south facing terrace which is perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining. A large section underneath the terrace offers excellent storage / gym area, with double doors opening onto the rear garden, taking in the countryside views beyond. Below is a landscaped, level lawn bordered by mature shrubs and hedging providing a wealth of colour and privacy to enjoy a second lower terrace and sunshine throughout the day.
