Apartment 3, The Manor House, Dartmouth

About this property

Beautifully refurbished and elegantly styled, this superb duplex apartment pulls off laid back luxury with ease; combining calming neutral tones with high quality furnishings to create an interior that’s as good looking as it is comfortable.

Perfectly poised beside the River Dart, large bay windows in the drawing room showcase views that are both sweeping and spectacular to offer an uninterrupted perspective of the riverscape and its changing moods beyond. In keeping with its Georgian heritage, Apartment 3 at The Manor House retains many of its original features, with high ceilings and picture rails framing the interior, and ornate fireplaces and sash windows adorning its rooms. Gorgeous bedrooms complete with sumptuous bedding and luxury linens create two spacious sanctuaries for four, where nights of blissfully deep sleep can be relished and long morning lie-ins are par for the course, while a large modern kitchen with breakfast bar and seating comes amply equipped with all the conveniences of a modern home.

Famed for its Royal Naval Academy, the River Dart has been enticing sailors and boating enthusiasts for decades, with vessels of varying sizes and modes gracing its sparkling waters all year round. Fine dining restaurants and cosy pubs line Dartmouth’s narrow streets while a host of independent shops and boutiques make it the perfect place for a shopping spree or two. Surrounded by stunning countryside, the coastal road from the town meanders through some of the prettiest of villages in the South Hams, with beautiful beaches spanning its pristine coastline all the way to Salcombe.
