Mount Flagon House is a substantial Grade II listed Georgian town house set over four floors with sweeping views over Dartmouth and the River Dart. Large sash and bay windows, high ceilings and a traditional conservatory give the house strong period character and generous natural light. The layout includes a formal sitting room, dining room, library wall, farmhouse-style kitchen/breakfast room, four double bedrooms and a useful basement suitable as a wine cellar and storage.
The south-facing terraced garden is a rare waterside asset in the town: cobbled terraces, mature shrubs and a small lawn create a private, sheltered outdoor space with excellent views. The property benefits from modern conveniences such as mains gas central heating, a gas AGA, and double glazing (installed before 2002), and sits in a very low-crime, affluent area with good mobile and broadband coverage and local amenities close by.
Buyers should note material constraints. The Grade II listing will restrict external and many internal alterations and will complicate maintenance and restoration. The timber-framed walls are understood to have no insulation (assumed), and the glazing is older double glazing—both will affect energy performance and could require sensitive upgrading under listed-building rules. The plot is relatively small and access is via gated steps and a back alley, which may limit parking and large-scale changes.
This home will suit buyers seeking a characterful, waterside period house with scope for tasteful restoration and who are comfortable managing listed-building responsibilities. It also offers potential as a high-quality family home or a second residence for those drawn to Dartmouth’s festivals, sailing scene and South Hams coastline. Practical purchasers should budget for listed-property maintenance and thoughtful energy improvements rather than major structural reconfiguration.
