South Ford Road, Dartmouth

A beautifully presented, detached property enjoying wonderful far-reaching views over Dartmouth and the River Dart. EPC band E.

Situation - Dartmouth is not your average sleepy coastal town. It is buzzing with culture, art, gastronomic offerings and a lively community spirit. Well known for its famous Royal Regatta and Royal Naval College, Dartmouth is steeped in history and its architecture is unique to the town. Dartmouth provides a good range of shops, restaurants and galleries and is surrounded by wonderful countryside whilst only a short drive from some of the most beautiful beaches in the area. The A38 Devon expressway is approximately 19 miles away, allowing speedy access to the cities of Exeter and Plymouth and the country beyond whilst main line rail links to London Paddington can be made in Totnes.

Description - Evergreen occupies a commanding position on the much favoured South Ford Road which is only a short distance from the town centre and banks of the River Dart. The property offers balanced accommodation arranged over three floors with much of the accommodation enjoying wonderful, far-reaching views over Dartmouth and the River Dart. On the ground floor is a welcoming sitting/dining room with French doors opening to a paved terrace and a well equipped kitchen offering access to the rear garden. On the first floor are two sizeable bedrooms, one with an ensuite bathroom and the other having access to a jack and jill bathroom. Nestled in the eaves of the property is a useful study and a third bedroom with ensuite shower room. Outside, the property offers various terraces which are perfect for admiring the views as well as enjoying the late afternoon sunshine. Previously the property has had planning permission to create a double garage directly on South Ford Road and next to the steps leading to the property.

Accommodation - The front door leads to a most useful utility area which has space and plumbing for washing and drying machines as well as an additional fridge/freezer if required. The utility area has tiled flooring and also provides access to the rear garden as well as the entrance hall of the property making this a practical entrance when returning from a muddy coastal walk. The welcoming entrance hall is spacious with plenty of room for shoes and coats and also offers a cupboard tucked under the stairs. The sitting/dining room is a fabulous space with exposed wooden floorboards and a feature, wall mounted gas fire providing a warming focal point with built in storage to either side. However, in the warmer months French doors open to a paved terrace which is perfect for alfresco dining and enjoying the late afternoon sunshine. The kitchen provides a range of floor and wall mounted units above and below tiled surrounds as well as built in shelving. The kitchen features an integrated electric oven, gas hob, dishwasher and fridge. There is also a door which leads to the rear garden.
