Each room benefits from glorious water views, with an open-plan relaxed style throughout. The three bedrooms can be found on the lower floor.

As one might expect, the views from almost every window, not to mention the riverside terrace, are staggering.

The house stands next to medieval St Petrox Church and Dartmouth Castle, with gardens that slope down to the water’s edge; where the boathouse can be found and where the need for the davit is determined by the tide.

Rosebank is currently on the market via Marchand Petit for £3 million — see more pictures, or enquire with the agent for further details.
