4 bedroom townhouse for sale

Hawley House is a wonderfully statuesque Georgian townhouse, standing tall in the very heart of Dartmouth. The pretty tiled steps leading to the sturdy wooden front door are the only hint that all is not as it seems beyond the smart unassuming front elevation, for as we enter the Hallway, a symphony of colour, texture and pattern welcomes us home. The pretty, south-facing transom window floods the yellow hallway with light, making for a joyful entrance. Opposite, funky wallpaper in cool blues paired with the herringbone flooring set the tone of this surprisingly stylish home.

Bear right, a striking Lobby Room with plenty of storage provides an alternative entrance as well as doubling as an Office. The large roof lantern and fully glazed entrance door allow light to flood into this handsome space.

From one stylish room to another, across the Hallway, we find original features blending seamlessly with contemporary design to form a superb open-plan Kitchen and Breakfast Room. Traditional wooden panelling and the original fireplace are given a modern twist to fuse beautifully with the chic handle-less gloss kitchen cabinetry topped with bright quartz worktops. The matching splashback and pale walls allow the views out of the large sash windows to shine - and what a view to behold as you are preparing dinner.

Drift upstairs now to the sensational Living and Dining Room. Fully open-plan but cleverly zoned, we enter through the sitting area. A bespoke TV unit doubles as a display cabinet as well as providing more useful storage. Plenty of room for the large sofas in this fabulous entertaining space. A biofuel burner in the stone fireplace delivers warmth and a focal point to this great space. Further on another beautiful fireplace - marble this time - provides a pretty backdrop for the Dining Area. A change of flooring - from carpet to wood - also defines this zone.

Beyond this, fully glazed, bi-folding doors open up to the Balcony and the most wonderful, panoramic views across Dartmouth town, down to the river and Kingswear. The perfect place to watch the sun setting whilst enjoying an evening aperitif.

Wind up to the second floor, here we find Bedrooms 2 & 3. Bedroom 2 is a good size double with views out over the town. Next door is Bedroom 3, the dual aspect windows allowing light to flood into this calming space. Both rooms have charming original fireplaces.

On this floor, we also find the magnificent Family Bathroom. The large freestanding bath steals the show with the separate rainfall shower a close second. Pale sage walls contrast beautifully with dark wood flooring to give the feeling of a true sanctuary.

Tear yourself away up to the top floor and the Principal Bedroom. Taking full advantage of its elevated position, one can lie in bed and admire the views from the large picture window in the gable or venture out through glazed patio doors to the south-facing Roof Terrace - a brilliant private sun trap with great views down to the river.

Spiral all the way down the delightful stairway now to the lower ground floor. First, we discover a super stylish WC, and next door a handy Utility Room with lots more storage. Further on another beautifully designed Wetroom and then Bedroom 4. A very generous room with plenty of connected storage - plenty of scope in this wonderfully versatile space.
