The asking price also includes a nearby town house that is owned by the same vendors. The owners live in the riverside property and rent out the two-bedroom home.
Sarah-Jane Bingham-Chick, from estate agents Savills, said: ‘The main house is right on the waterfront and is an award winning, architecturally designed contemporary property.
‘The master bedroom suite, which is located on the lower ground floor, has a full width Juliet balcony with bi-fold doors and a glass floor overlooking the fore shore. There are three further bedrooms on this level.
‘On the level above there is a magnificent domed open plan living space, with wall to wall doors and a Juliet balcony overlooking the water.
‘The town house is in a different part of town about five minutes away. We are offering both of them for sale as one lot or as two different homes.
A spacious kitchen area boasts a large island in the centre and modern state-of-the-art furnishings and work surfaces
The master bedroom’s king-size bed looks onto the water from the lower ground floor, while a roll top bathtub is located behind a glass screen
A small balcony area is accessible through French doors from the living room on the ground floor. A quirky wooden table with tree trunk legs and a barbecue set can be seen alongside olive trees and a sun lounger
‘The current owners have lived in the River House for at least 10 years and have rented out the other, but still have used the garage.
‘Dartmouth is in a valley and the town centre is one the level but most of the parking and garaging is further out of town.
‘We have had a lot of enquiries because it is rather unusual to be able to live on the waterfront property of this calibre.
