"An elegant and unique period property with an abundance of original features and the most glorious far-reaching views of the River Dart."
Glenadon is a distinctive, historic home with prime views over the River Dart, set in the desirable Above Town area of Dartmouth. Built for a Crimean War colonel, the home combines original period features with flexible living spaces, delivering warmth, charm and character throughout.
Glenadon’s period details stand out in every room, from French doors with original shutters to deep architraves, original fireplaces and ornate wooden mantels. Spacious rooms with high ceilings lend a sense of openness, while the versatile layout includes a second-floor annex that can function as a private guest suite or additional family space.
The ground floor opens with a welcoming entrance hall leading to a boot room, cloakroom and practical inner lobby, connecting to a utility room and workshop with courtyard access. The kitchen, with stainless steel worktops, period-style cabinets and a Range cooker recess, leads through French doors to a full-width, paved veranda. An arched doorway with deep period mouldings opens into the dining room, which also has French doors and a wood-burning stove framed by an original wooden mantel. A home office provides a convenient workspace.
Upstairs, the first-floor sitting room opens onto a beautifully ornate wrought-iron balcony that runs the width of the house, bringing in light and stunning river views. The primary bedroom, also with balcony access, includes an en suite bathroom, while two further guest bedrooms each have their own en suites; one features a side balcony too.
The second floor, currently self-contained but with potential to be easily reintroduced to the main house, includes a kitchen/dining area, two bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a cosy wood-panelled sitting room. Steps lead from the second floor to a pretty front garden with a paved veranda and lawn, ideal for relaxing with views over the Dart. Parking is available for one large or two smaller vehicles; a valuable feature in this location.
