Buy property in Dartmouth for unique coastal town living
Dartmouth is a town that grew up around its ancient trading
harbour, where sailors have docked and set sail for more than 1,000
years.
Residents and those looking for
property for sale in Dartmouth, Devon, will find evidence of
this historic culture throughout the harbour and the city itself,
from the cobbled Bayards Cove to the colourful farmers market and
art galleries.
Those with a penchant for historic architecture will no doubt be
enthralled by the half-timbered Elizabethan houses found across the
city, lucky buyers may even be able to find one of these ancient
properties for sale in Dartmouth too.
The town's local museum is the epitome of this style, housed in an
old merchant's house that was built in 1640.
Dartmouth is a great place to bring up children, with easy access
to the sea and countryside, while still maintaining a suburban feel
closer to the city centre.
Ships often visit the docks, while there is an abundance of
wildlife to enjoy in the nearby South Hams, providing parents with
plenty of inspiration for weekend and school holiday trips out with
the kids.
For adults, Dartmouth's ancient narrow streets are packed full of
boutique shops, art galleries and delicatessens. A regularly hosted
farmer's market stocking local produce is also popular and is used
as a source of produce by many local restaurants, cafes and
pubs.
Annual events brings the city to life every year, with the Dart
Music Festival being one of the main highlights. A eclectic mix of
bands, including performances by local schools and choirs, have
been making their way to the city since the festival's inception in
1998, and continue to draw audiences of all ages.
