Description

Bayards View is a distinguished Grade II listed townhouse, originally a 17th century merchant's house, currently divided into two apartments. This property, nestled where the River Dart meets the sea, offers spectacular views and is situated within easy reach of Dartmouth's vibrant town centre. The accommodation features four bedrooms and multiple reception rooms, showcasing original period features such as exposed beams and ornamental plasterwork ceilings. While it requires renovation throughout, the potential to restore it into a substantial family home or maintain it as two separate living spaces is significant. The ground floor apartment includes a private enclosed courtyard, while the first floor boasts decked terraces ideal for outdoor entertaining. With an estimated rental income of £2,500 per month once renovated, this property presents an exciting investment opportunity. Further potential for additional accommodation on a fourth floor may also be possible, subject to necessary consents.

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

82out of 100
Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £349,000, this Grade II listed 17th-century merchant’s house is offered at £232 per sq ft, around 43% below the local average—a strong entry point for a project in central Dartmouth. Its River Dart and sea views, period beams, stonework and decorative plasterwork give the renovation a distinctive canvas, with multiple reception spaces and outdoor areas adding to its appeal.

Currently arranged as two apartments, it could be refurbished while retaining that configuration or potentially restored as one substantial home, subject to the necessary consents. The two kitchens and shower rooms, worn finishes and weathered rear decking offer clear scope to update; the renovation midpoint used in the score is £65,000. Overall, the low asking price and strong economics make this a compelling opportunity, with the listed status and any proposed changes to the layout requiring careful consideration.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire at £232 per sq ft, around 43% below the local average, with an attractive price entry point for a renovation.
  • Refresh the two kitchens, two shower rooms, flooring and interior finishes while bringing out the period beams, stonework and decorative plasterwork.
  • Explore retaining the two-apartment configuration or restoring a single substantial home, subject to the necessary consents.

Key risks

  • As a Grade II listed property, alterations and any change to the current two-apartment arrangement may require consents; check feasibility before committing.
  • The rear decking and railings are weathered, and roof condition cannot be assessed from the available exterior views.
