South Embankment, Dartmouth

A beautiful second-floor apartment on South Embankment in Dartmouth with a balcony and stunning views across the River Dart to Kingswear and Dartmouth Castle.
Positioned directly on Dartmouth’s pretty South Embankment, Embankment House enjoys a superb setting overlooking the River Dart and forms part of the town’s much-admired waterfront.
The apartment is situated on the second floor and benefits from far-reaching views across the river towards Kingswear and the historic Dartmouth Castle. From the main living space, doors open onto a full-width decked balcony, an ideal place to sit and watch the constant activity on the water.
Entry is via a shared hallway from South Embankment, used by only one other apartment. Stairs lead up to the property, where a small landing provides access to the main accommodation.
At the heart of the apartment is a spacious open-plan sitting and dining room, designed to make the most of the stunning views. Large glazed doors allow plenty of natural light to enter while also giving direct access to the balcony. A wall-mounted electric fire creates a focal point within the seating area, and the room comfortably accommodates a dining table.
The kitchen sits just off the living area and is partially separated by a curved work surface that provides additional storage beneath seating. Well fitted and equipped with a good range of wall and base units and appliances including an electric oven, gas hob, dishwasher, washing machine, and under-counter fridge and freezer, all integrated into the design.
This lovely home has two generous double bedrooms, both enjoying elevated views to the rear over the rooftops towards Jawbones Hill, and are serviced by a modern shower room, fitted with a WC, bidet, wash basin and heated towel rail.
Additional storage is available in a private cupboard located off the communal staircase.
Dartmouth itself is a highly regarded coastal town, particularly popular with sailing enthusiasts and host to the well-known Royal Regatta each year. The town centre offers a good selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and galleries. The surrounding South Devon countryside provides excellent opportunities for walking and exploring, while several beautiful beaches are only a short drive away.
Transport connections are also convenient. Totnes, approximately 13 miles away, offers mainline rail services to London Paddington, and the A38 Devon Expressway can be accessed at Buckfastleigh, about 19 miles from Dartmouth.
