Description

Dartmouth is a beautiful waterside town, particularly well known as a sailing centre with excellent facilities for yachtsmen and its famous annual Royal Regatta. The town provides a good range of shops, restaurants and galleries and is surrounded by stunning countryside and a short drive from some of the most beautiful beaches in the area. There are several excellent golf courses within easy reach and railway links to London, Paddington, can be made locally at Totnes, about 13 miles to the north. Access to the A38 Devon Expressway at Buckfastleigh is about 19 miles away.

This interesting Grade II Listed townhouse with wonderful river and sea views is situated just a short gentle walk from historic Bayards Cove and the town centre with all its shops, restaurants and galleries that makes Dartmouth so popular. The accommodation is arranged over three floors and provides spacious reception rooms and four bedrooms, one with an en suite. A paved sun terrace at the rear of the property also benefits from river views and there is a garage situated nearby.
