Description - Embankment House forms part of the iconic riverside landscape of the South Embankment in the heart of Dartmouth. The building retains a delightful slate hung façade with ornate carvings but is not listed. The apartment is situated on the second floor affording stunning views over the River Dart and towards Kingswear from the balcony and open plan living space. It's waterside setting and town centre location makes this a wonderful main or second home. Currently, the property is utilised as a successful holiday let and is ideal for exploring the surrounding coast and countryside. The property offers beautifully presented accommodation including a sociable open plan living space with well appointed kitchen, two double bedrooms with views towards Jawbones Hill and a smartly finished shower room.

Stairs lead to the first floor and front door of the apartment which in turn opens to an additional staircase rising to the landing for the apartment.

Two separate doors open to the full width, decked balcony which enjoys breath taking views across the river Dart to Kingswear and towards the iconic Dartmouth Castle. The open plan living space is bright and airy and offers plenty of space for both sitting and dining furniture as well as a wall mounted electric fire. The defined kitchen is loosely separated from the sitting and dining areas by a wrap around worktop with storage units beneath making this a social space and perfect for entertaining. The kitchen offers a range of floor and wall mounted units above and below tiled surrounds and flooring as well as an integrated electric oven, gas hob, dishwasher, washing machine and under counter fridge and freezer.
