Large Apartment, Town Centre

On the top two floors of an imposing Georgian townhouse, this characterful period home echoes Dartmouth's rich heritage and vibrant present. Tall ceilings with ornate cornicing, an elegant spiral staircase, and all styled in vibrant, refreshing colours. Ceiling-height windows bathe the lounge in natural light from the striking bow-fronted façade. Nautical hues in the Shaker-style galley kitchen make for relaxing meal prep; and large sleigh beds give the comfort their curved aesthetic suggests.

As you ascend the grand spiral staircase into this opulent apartment, you'll immediately feel you're somewhere special. To the left is the grand drawing room. The bow-fronted façade (noted by English Heritage) allows the floor-to-ceiling windows to maximise the views across the old market square and the hills beyond. Recline on the large corner sofa and gaze out, or enjoy the large-screen smart TV.

The kitchen-diner is a homely change of tone. The rustic-style wooden dining table lets you gather from breakfast to dinner to recount the day or plan the next – there's seating for seven (plus a high chair for the little one). Or choose the window seat for morning coffee and gaze on the narrow streets below.

The newly-refurbished kitchen area is bright, airy, and well-stocked, with everything you'll need for mouth-watering meal times.

Ascend the spiral stairs again, with natural light flowing in from the domed skylight high above - passing classic paintings of ships of old battling rough seas - and you'll find three graceful bedrooms and the family shower room.

The en suite master bedroom has a double bed facing the ornamental fireplace. The en suite has a shower and heated towel rail. The second bedroom sleeps three in a double bed and a single bed. The third bedroom features a double bed on a raised platform, with a window seat and a large wardrobe.

Since 4 Market Square is in the historic town centre, there's no dedicated parking available. However, there is a public car park directly opposite (restrictions apply), as well as the main car park on Mayor's Avenue.
