A Grade II listed detached cottage in Above Town, Dartmouth, combining period character with practical modern living. The house offers vaulted principal living, exposed beams and polished wood floors, plus a south-facing garden and terraced outdoor space that maximises light and harbour-side atmosphere. A cleverly converted, self-contained barn (“The Tuck Away”) provides flexible guest or ancillary accommodation with its own access — ideal for visiting family or rental income.
The layout suits downsizers seeking low-stairs living and independent guest facilities: a ground-floor double bedroom with en suite, a first-floor double with bathroom, and a top-floor vaulted sitting room opening via concertina doors to the garden and terrace. The converted annex spans two floors with a bedroom, shower room, open-plan sitting/kitchen, and lower-level playroom/studio that can be used for hobbies or home-working.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property is Grade II listed which may restrict alterations and cause additional consent demands. The annexe has an EPC rating of F and the house D, indicating potential improvement work. The plot and parking are very limited — one allocated off-street space and a very small garden plot — so this is best suited to those prioritising location and character over expansive grounds.
Set in an affluent, low-crime small town within the South Devon AONB, the cottage is walkable to Dartmouth’s shops, services and harbour. Good road links to Totnes and the A38, plus nearby beaches, make this a strong choice for downsizers seeking a characterful home with flexible ancillary accommodation.
