Tucked into central Dartmouth, this stone mid-terrace cottage combines historic character with contemporary fittings and an unusually large integral garage. The layout is efficient: a light-filled living level with skylight and sash windows, a modern farmhouse kitchen, and a top-floor bedroom with vaulted ceilings and en-suite. Broadband speeds are excellent, and the property functions well as a lock-up-and-leave holiday base, pied-à-terre or town-centre rental.
The garage is a standout feature for this location — big enough for a 4x4 plus storage and a small workshop area. A petite patio to the front provides an outdoor spot without maintenance. Practicalities include gas central heating, double glazing (installed post-2002), and freehold tenure with low council tax (Band B).
Buyers should note some energy and fabric considerations: the property is timber-framed with assumed no wall insulation, and the EPC is rated E, so upgrading insulation and services would improve comfort and running costs. The house is compact at about 691 sq ft with one bedroom, so suitability leans to couples, single owners, investors or as a holiday/home-from-home rather than a family primary residence.
Location is a key draw — central Dartmouth with low crime, excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and immediate access to shops, waterfront and the South West Coast Path. Accessible transport links to Totnes and the A38 broaden appeal, while nearby good and outstanding schools add longer-term resale strength.
