Description

This three-bedroom period home, located on the well-regarded South Ford Road, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Just a short stroll from Dartmouth's vibrant town centre and the picturesque River Dart, this property offers both charm and considerable potential for those looking to create their ideal living space. Dartmouth itself is renowned for its captivating scenery and rich maritime heritage. The town boasts a blend of historic cobbled streets, boutique shops, galleries, and an array of dining options that cater to diverse tastes. Residents benefit from comprehensive amenities including medical facilities, leisure centres, and easy access to local events such as the Dartmouth Music Festival and the Food Festival. The A38 Devon expressway is approximately 19 miles away, providing convenient connectivity to Exeter and Plymouth; direct train services to London Paddington are also available from nearby Totnes. While in need of refurbishment throughout, this characterful home retains several original features that could be beautifully restored. The adaptable accommodation spans three levels, allowing for creative reimagining of the spaces. The main living area includes a bright sitting room with large windows that frame delightful views across Dartmouth. The sociable kitchen/dining room serves as the heart of the home, offering ample storage along with a striking stone fireplace that enhances its appeal. The first floor hosts two generously sized double bedrooms with enough space for substantial furnishings; the principal room enjoys pleasant views over the rooftops of Dartmouth. A family bathroom with both bath and shower facilities is found on this level, along with a separate WC for added convenience. A versatile lower ground floor presents additional possibilities, currently functioning as either a bedroom or studio space with its own external access. Should it suit your needs, internal access can be reinstated through the kitchen staircase. This area includes built-in storage, plumbing for laundry appliances in a utility zone, and a separate WC. The landscaped rear garden is another highlight of this property. Featuring four mature Magnolia trees that provide seasonal interest and privacy, the garden also includes inviting terraced seating areas perfect for outdoor relaxation or entertaining guests. With established planting and discreet corners ideal for quiet moments outdoors, this space enhances the overall charm of the property. This freehold home offers mains electricity, water, drainage services as well as electric radiators throughout. With significant renovation potential in a desirable location close to Dartmouth’s amenities and scenic surroundings, this property represents an excellent investment opportunity or an inviting coastal retreat waiting to be transformed into your dream home.
