Tucked just off Dartmouth’s Market Square, this south‑facing two‑bedroom apartment offers comfortable, characterful living on a quiet town‑fringe lane. Large windows, high ceilings and French doors from both the sitting room and principal bedroom give bright, airy rooms and direct access to a private patio and small garden — ideal for easy outdoor living without the upkeep of a house.
The layout is straightforward and well proportioned: living room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom within an average‑sized 871 sq ft. The building dates from the 1930s–1940s and retains period charm, making the apartment appealing to buyers who appreciate original features and a traditional feel. Local amenities, good schools and low crime make this a sensible choice for downsizers wanting to stay close to Dartmouth’s town centre.
Practical points are clear: the property is leasehold (long lease of 955 years) and heated by electric storage heaters. Cavity walls appear to have been built without insulation (assumed), so buyers should factor potential energy‑efficiency improvements and running costs into their plans. The flat has been a long‑term home for previous owners and now offers scope for light updating rather than a full refurbishment.
This apartment will suit someone seeking a low‑maintenance, centrally located home with outdoor space and character. It’s especially attractive to buyers looking to downsize without compromising on room sizes and a private outdoor area, while being honest about the need for modest energy upgrades and the limitations of electric heating.
