Occupying an enviable position on South Town, this appealing one-bedroom apartment enjoys far-reaching views across the River Dart and towards the wooded slopes and colourful waterside homes beyond. Light, well presented and arranged to make the most of its stunning outlook, it offers an enticing opportunity for those seeking a permanent home, a coastal retreat or a convenient base from which to enjoy Dartmouth and the South Hams. <br/> <br/>The property forms part of a handsome period building, positioned above the river and within easy reach of the town centre. Access is approached via the rear, where a pedestrian pathway and steps lead alongside the building to the apartment's entrance. Its elevated setting is fundamental to the appeal: from the principal rooms, the river becomes an ever-changing backdrop. <br/> <br/>The accommodation begins with a useful cloakroom then through to contemporary kitchen arranged in a practical galley-style layout. White cabinetry keeps the room feeling fresh and bright, complemented by dark work surfaces and a tiled splashback. There is a stainless-steel sink with drainer, an integrated oven and hob, and further space for everyday appliances. Generous storage is provided by a combination of wall and base units, while a window introduces natural light. At one end, there is room for a breakfast table, creating a pleasant spot for morning coffee or informal dining. <br/> <br/>From the kitchen, the accommodation flows towards the main reception room. This well proportioned living space is a particularly inviting feature of the apartment, offering ample room for both sitting and dining areas. Two large sash-style windows frame captivating views over the River Dart, allowing daylight to fill the room and drawing the eye towards Kingswear and the surrounding countryside. The sitting area has space for comfortable sofas and occasional furniture, with a traditional fireplace surround providing an attractive focal point. Whether watching the harbour activity, relaxing after a day on the coast or entertaining friends, this is a lovely space. <br/> <br/>The adjoining double bedroom continues the light, restful character of the home. Well proportioned for a one-bedroom apartment, it accommodates a double bed together with bedside furniture. Another window captures an exceptional river view, bringing the scenery into the room from the moment the curtains are opened. Soft neutral tones create a tranquil ambience, while the direct connection to the living room gives the apartment an easy, uncomplicated flow. <br/> <br/>The bathroom is spacious and functional, fitted with a panelled bath with an electric shower over and glazed shower screen, a pedestal wash basin and WC. Predominantly white finishes contribute to the bright appearance, and a high-level window provides natural light and ventilation. <br/> <br/>The apartment's chief attraction is undoubtedly its outlook. Across the water, Kingswear rises steeply from the riverbank. Looking along the river, the view opens towards the harbour mouth, while in the opposite direction the marina and forest of yacht masts provide a distinctly nautical scene. This is a front-row setting for the daily rhythm of Dartmouth life and its renowned sailing activity, all enjoyed from the comfort of the principal rooms. <br/> <br/>To the rear is an elevated paved terrace which enjoys pretty views of the River. <br/> <br/>There is a parking space to the side of the property which is available by seperate negotiation. <br/> <br/>This home cannot be holiday let, but can be a long term let. <br/> <br/>Dartmouth is one of South Devon's most sought-after waterside towns, celebrated for its historic streets, independent shops, galleries, cafés and excellent selection of restaurants. The River Dart is a renowned sailing destination and hosts the famous annual Royal Regatta, while scenic coastal walks, sheltered coves and some of the area's most beautiful beaches are within easy reach. Golf courses and varied countryside pursuits are also readily accessible. Mainline rail services to London Paddington are available from Totnes, approximately 13 miles away, and the A38 Devon Expressway can be joined at Buckfastleigh, around 19 miles to the north.
