This elevated waterfront property for sale in Dartmouth sits on a former fort

Elevated waterfront property for sale in DartmouthSavills

With a spectacular waterfront setting and views over the Dart Estuary, this elevated Grade II listed Victorian house is now for sale in Dartmouth, Devon, for £7.25 million.

Paradise Point certainly lives up to its name. Described by agents as 'one of the most iconic and beautiful waterfront properties' in the South West, it has been built on the site of the former Paradise Fort and is positioned on a bend of the river with glistening views towards Dartmouth.

The fort was first purchased in 1850, before being replaced by Paradise Point — a house built from distinctive Flemish bond yellow brick with Bathstone dressings under a Welsh slate roof. Peppered with Victorian features, the house boasts five bedrooms, seven impressive reception rooms, high ceilings, sash windows, a private jetty and mooring, and established gardens and terraces for alfresco dining.

The house sings with character, from the striking reception room (complete with a curved bookcase containing a hidden door leading to a bathroom) to the bespoke kitchen with granite work surfaces.

Current owners have poured love and care into the place over the past 14 years, returning it to its former glory. Prospective buyers will be pleased to hear they've added in a home bar (wait until you see the wine cellar), swapped tired-looking bathrooms for sleek units, and hung a beautiful wall mural depicting local estuary scenes from 1905 with views over the Dart in the dining room.

The formal garden wraps around two sides of the house, and features pristine lawns, terraces fringed with colourful borders, mature specimen trees, an array of flourishing shrubs, and much more. It's worth adding that the gorgeous garden also looks out over the picturesque River Dart — the ultimate setting for a summer party.

'Perched proudly in a stunning elevated spot with uninterrupted views of the River Dart, Paradise Point is one-of-a-kind,' says Tom Bedford, spokesperson from Savills Exeter. 'Grade II listed, this Victorian waterfront home has been painstakingly restored by the current owners to offer incredible interiors, stunning proportions and landscaped gardens. Paradise Point is a once in a generation opportunity.'

This property is currently on the market for £7,250,000 with Savills.
