A Rare Opportunity To Acquire One Of Dartmouth's Finest Waterfront Positions, Offering Approximately

A rare opportunity to acquire one of Dartmouth’s finest waterfront addresses, this exceptional riverside residence occupies a commanding position on South Town with private steps to the River Dart and the benefit of a running mooring. A former Coast Guard Station, the property has been comprehensively renovated under the current ownership to create a substantial and versatile home extending to approximately 3,500 sq ft.

Set directly on the water’s edge, the majority of the accommodation enjoys breathtaking, panoramic views across the river to Kingswear and out towards the open sea. Many rooms open directly onto the riverside garden, which features a level lawn and a series of paved terraces, ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining against the backdrop of the ever-changing river.

This is a home that truly celebrates its setting. Sailing boats drift past on the tide, the Lower Ferry makes its familiar crossing towards Kingswear, and the gentle movement of the River Dart provides a constant and calming presence throughout the day. Whether enjoyed as a generous principal residence, a family home with self-contained annexe, or a property with income potential as a holiday let, this is a truly rare find in one of the South West’s most sought-after waterside towns.
