SITUATION It almost goes without saying that Dartmouth is a popular boating centre with a world famous regatta. It is also an active fishing port where fresh catches are traded on the quayside in Kingswear. On the hill above Dartmouth and keeping guard is the Britannia Royal Naval College designed and built in 1902 by the distinguished architect Sir George Aston Webb. The busy port of Dartmouth has approximately 2,800 moorings and the river is navigable from Dartmouth right up to the weir at Totnes. Dartmouth is really the jewel in the South Hams. For those who travelling and commuting is important Exeter and Plymouth have their regional airports, Plymouth also has a ferry terminal and Devon benefits from a comprehensive rail network with road links to the M5 motorway network giving easy access to the rest of the UK and Europe. DESCRIPTION 27 Newcomen Road is a unique Grade II listed property in an enviable level position with views over Bayards Cove, towards Kingswear and out to sea. The property is located a short walk to the centre of town with its diverse mixture of shops and restaurants on the waterfront depending on your mood and passion. The interesting and versatile accommodation lends itself to a myriad of uses and can be adapted to suit the individual requirements of anyone with the desire to create a personalised home in this stunning corner of the South Hams. Currently divided into two separate apartments there is enormous potential to either renovate both properties in their existing guises or to convert subject to any necessary permissions into one unique home. The property has been continually altered over the years and although it retains a few original period features many of the character details have been added at a later date in order to continue the historic feel. This legacy of change can now benefit a new purchaser with an internal inspection highly recommended in order to appreciate the full potential on offer.
