Town house for sale in Clarence Hill, Dartmouth TQ6

Nestled on Clarence Hill, at the top of the iconic Browns Hill Steps - a 5-minute walk from the centre of the bustling port of Dartmouth, a quaint wooden door marks the entrance to this detached Grade II Listed, Georgian gem with its statuesque symmetrical stone facade. Once inside we are embraced into the most welcoming open-plan Kitchen and Dining Room. To the right lies a fully fitted in-frame timber Kitchen with warm-toned granite worktops and Dakar cabinetry. A large wooden-topped island provides plenty of additional storage as well as an excellent work surface - ideal for baking - making this Kitchen a homely idyll. A perfectly positioned window seat makes a great seat for sticky fingered second chefs!

Underfoot, pale farmhouse stone tiles warmed by underfloor heating lead us to the Dining Area. Plenty of space for family and friends to gather and be entertained. We are drawn to the cosy multi-fuel burner gently crackling away in the stone fireplace, flanked by beautiful, curved alcoves. A second window seat provides a great spot to watch the world go by.

An open staircase draws us up to the first floor where we find the charming Living Room; afternoon sunshine spills through the sash window, highlighting the brick fireplace, providing a wonderful focal point to this room. Built-in bookcases surround this restful spot.

Further on, the first of three large double Bedrooms. Spanning the width of the house, a great-sized space with original beams and another lovely window seat. Plenty of room for a large wardrobe and a desk.

Next door a spacious family Bathroom with vintage-style sanitary ware nods to the history of the house. A gorgeous freestanding slipper bath adds a luxurious feel to this space.
Wind up the fantastically characterful staircase and we are surprised by a glazed exterior door leading to an elevated garden, which we will explore shortly.

Continue up the panelled staircase to the second floor where we find another glorious Bathroom, a spacious third Bedroom and the magnificent Main Bedroom. With built-in wardrobes and a sweet seating area. Another window seat provides a great breakfast spot. All three of the Bedrooms are exquisitely decorated with pretty Nina Campbell wallpaper elevating beautiful period features. Good quality neutral carpeting adds to the sumptuousness of these wonderful boudoirs.

Let’s retreat now to the Garden - a surprise feature in this part of town. This pretty, private plot comprises a stone patio with the rest laid to lawn. Mature shrubbery and stone walling ensure that occupants have privacy and seclusion. A stone outbuilding makes a grand Garden Room, perfect for when the nights start to get chilly or a great den for the kids.

Sweep back downstairs - noting the plantation blinds adorning every window - back through the front door and as we meander along this charming street, take a peek at the wonderful tile hanging on the right-hand elevation of this picturesque property. It is little wonder that it has been selected to be Listed as a fine example of Georgian architecture.
