An attractive Grade II listed three-bedroom apartment set in the heart of the sought-after town of Dartmouth, with a wealth of restaurants, cafés and shops on its doorstep. It occupies a prominent position overlooking the town’s harbour and boatfloat, with exceptional views across the River Dart.
The apartment is set in an exclusive, distinctively styled Grade II Listed building, in a stunning Dartmouth riverside position. The apartment is situated mostly on the first floor, with a study/ playroom on the second level. The building itself dates from 1893 and features Elizabethan-style timber framing with jettied upper floors, projecting bay windows and balustraded balconies. Inside, the accommodation is beautifully appointed with understated modern styling and includes plenty of period details such as ornate cornicing, ceiling roses and sash windows alongside elegant contemporary fittings and finish. The building is thought to have been designed by EH Back, the borough surveyor at the time, who is responsible for several prominent buildings in Dartmouth.
The main reception room consists of a large open plan space containing separate living and dining areas, off which there is a fully fitted kitchen. It enjoys dual aspect overlooking the river and harbour and balconies to both aspects. The tall sash windows welcome plenty of natural light, and there is space for both a comfortable seating area and a family dining table. The kitchen itself offers plenty of storage with fitted units to base and wall level and modern integrated appliances. There are three bedrooms on the first floor, all of which overlook the picturesque harbour, with two of the bedrooms benefiting from built-in storage and access to the balcony. Stairs lead from the third bedroom to a study/playroom on the second floor. There are two shower rooms on the first floor, both of which have contemporary suites.
The apartment sits on the first floor of the building above a retail unit. The balconies to each side of the apartment provide outside space with views of the South Embankment, Kingswear and the marina. The beautiful Royal Avenue Gardens are also just moments away, providing a peaceful green space. Resident permit parking can be applied for.
Dartmouth is a highly desirable town, set on the western bank of the River Dart estuary in the beautiful South Devon National Landscape.
