SITUATION 18 Baltic Way lies within the sought-after Baltic Wharf development, a contemporary collection of homes on the banks of the River Dart. The setting combines waterside living with the convenience of walking distance to Totnes town centre, known for its vibrant cultural scene, independent shops, weekly market and mainline station with services to London Paddington.
The South Devon coastline, Dartmoor and the River Dart all offer excellent opportunities for sailing, walking and outdoor recreation.
DESCRIPTION This striking home combines bold contemporary design with energy efficiency and practicality. Arranged over four floors, it provides light-filled living spaces enhanced by high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glazing and a superb roof terrace with far-reaching views over the River Dart.
The property has been thoughtfully finished throughout, with a recently upgraded high-specification kitchen forming the heart of the home, complemented by stylish bathrooms and generous storage. Rated B on the EPC, it incorporates rooftop solar panels and a whole-house 13kWh battery backup system, enabling the home to maximise its solar energy use and maintain power during outages.
