Old world grandeur meets sophisticated waterside living in this luxury Grade II listed Georgian home in Dartmouth. 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.

This property does not have allocated parking and off street parking is limited.
Guests are advised to park directly outside the property on arrival (on the double yellow lines), to offload their luggage before moving on to a car park.
There are short stay spaces available directly outside the property on South Town, but these are few and popular and parking is restricted to that of 2 hours from 9:00am to 6:00pm (between 1st May and 30th Sept).
From October to April there are no restrictions.
The property does however provide a Mayors Avenue car park permit (which is approximately 8 minutes walk away) for guests to use, with spaces available on a first come first served basis.
The best time to secure a spot in the car park is either before 10:00am or after 4:00pm, however if no space is available the permit will allow guests to use the 'Park & Ride' car park a mile away which rarely fills up.
The Park & Ride service currently operates between 12th April and 31st October. For more information visit the Park & Ride website here.
The car parking permit also allows parking inr many other car parks in South Hams including the towns of Totnes, Slapton, Torcross, Kingsbridge, Salcombe and Bigbury.
