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.

Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This distinguished Grade II listed townhouse, dating back to the 17th century, presents a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts looking to restore its historic charm. With an asking price of £399,950, the property is priced significantly below the local average, making it an attractive acquisition for those keen to invest in a project. The ample square footage of 1,507 sq ft offers the potential to transform the current two-apartment layout back into a single family dwelling or retain it as dual units, perfect for multi-generational living or rental income.

While the interiors are dated and exhibit general wear, this provides a blank canvas for buyers to inject their style and modernize the space. The basic kitchen fittings and dated bathroom present opportunities for a complete overhaul, allowing for the creation of a stunning, contemporary living environment. The property boasts spectacular views across the River Dart and out to sea, enhancing the appeal of this renovation project, which is expected to require between £100,000 and £200,000 in updates. With the combination of a competitive guide price and the area's rich cultural offerings, Bayards View stands out as a promising investment for the right buyer.

Key opportunities

  • Transform the current two-apartment layout back into a spacious family home.
  • Capitalize on the spectacular river views by designing open-plan living spaces.
