Flooded with natural light and spread over three floors, this wonderful home is utterly unique, and has an abundance of outstanding period features, containing high quality craftmanship throughout.

This elegant town house is a historical treasure trove, and must be viewed internally to fully appreciate the scale and features which adorn this property. Ornamental ceilings, moulded stucco architraves, moulded plasterwork and cornices, together with panels representing the twelve labours of Hercules, and ornamental plasterwork depicting Hercules being welcomed to paradise by the pantheon of classical gods are all just a few of the incredible features on display.

On the ground floor the front door leads in to the welcoming entrance hall, which immediately gives a suggestion of the accommodation which is about to unveil before your eyes. From here the magnificent staircase with full height vaulted ceiling is visible. There is a large kitchen / dining room with pantry and a dumb waiter to the first floor, a cloakroom and a sitting room.

The first floor enjoys a stunning galleried landing, with full height to the ceiling. The main drawing room is a grand room with a large marble fireplace and a stunning ornamental ceiling. Also on this floor is another elegant room currently used as a bedroom, a shower room and a study.

On the second floor there are four further bedrooms, one of which has an en suite bathroom, a family bathroom, a separate w.c., and a small additional kitchenette.

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 Buckfast leigh is about 19 miles away.
