Description
The layout offers excellent flexibility and could readily be reconfigured to provide three bedrooms and one reception room if required.
On the ground floor, an entrance hall opens into the first reception room, presently used as a dining room. This room features a pretty tiled fireplace and two attractive recessed cupboards positioned to either side. An inner hallway leads through to a good-sized fitted kitchen, which has a window overlooking the rear courtyard, and there is also a shower room on this level.
The main bedroom and the family bathroom are located on the first floor. On the second floor there is a further bedroom and a charming sitting room, which could easily serve as a third bedroom. This room also benefits from a pretty fireplace and a useful storage cupboard.
A door from the ground floor hallway leads out to the small rear courtyard, where there is a practical external store with plumbing in place for a washing machine.
Dartmouth is a beautiful waterside town and is particularly well known as a sailing centre, offering excellent facilities for yachtsmen and hosting its famous annual Dartmouth Royal Regatta. The town provides a good range of independent shops, restaurants and galleries, and is surrounded by stunning countryside, with some of the area’s most attractive beaches only a short drive away. Several excellent golf courses can also be found within easy reach.
Mainline railway services to London Paddington are available at Totnes, approximately 13 miles to the north, while access to the A38 Devon Expressway is available at Buckfastleigh, about 19 miles away.
Overall, this delightful period townhouse offers character features, adaptable accommodation and a peaceful yet highly convenient position close to the heart of Dartmouth, making it equally suitable as a main residence or a charming second home.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
