Crow Tor Cottage is a well-proportioned, characterful one-bedroom semi on Crowthers Hill, presented over three floors. Recently renovated while retaining period features—sash windows, stone fireplace and wood panelling—the house combines traditional charm with contemporary fittings such as a modern kitchen and powerful rainfall shower. The living room opens directly to a south-facing landscaped garden with mature planting, reclaimed stone paths and a raised deck that offers a glimpse of Dartmouth Castle and the sea.
The accommodation is compact but efficiently arranged across approximately 624 sq ft, with high ceilings and a double-vista lounge that makes the most of natural light. Gas-fired central heating, double glazing and up-to-date bathroom and kitchen fittings reduce immediate maintenance needs. Freehold tenure, low local crime and an affluent, self-sufficient retirement area make this a comfortable, low-risk purchase for someone looking to downsize to a coastal town.
Important practical points: the building is an older granite/whinstone construction (pre-1900) with assumed no cavity wall insulation, which can affect running costs despite recent refurbishment. The house’s three-floor layout and stair access may be less suitable for mobility limitations. The plot is small and the property footprint compact, so outdoor space and storage are limited compared with larger homes.
Overall, Crow Tor Cottage will suit a buyer seeking a character cottage close to Dartmouth’s amenities and waterfront life—someone who values a renovated period home, a sunny south garden and town views, and who accepts the compromises of a small, multi-storey dwelling in exchange for coastal location and charm.
