The lovely estuary town of Dartmouth is well known for its narrow streets and Victorian architecture, but it is indeed rare to find a substantial period residence (situated in a quiet one way road) that has both a large garden and a double garage within easy walking distance of all town centre amenities. Believed to have been built by a sea captain in 1820 there are many features associated with the Victorian era including fine fireplaces in the two reception rooms, shuttered windows and ceiling cornicing. The handsome facade is enhanced with a veranda extending across the front elevation providing a lovely sitting out area from where panoramic views can be enjoyed over the town.
Outside there are wonderful mature gardens to the front with a particularly pretty seating area and a manageable sized orchard to the rear.
