Description

The Keep, a stunning detached residence was built in 1856 on land originally owned by the Seale family. The family made it a condition that the house had to blend in with the castles found at the mouth of the River Dart, hence the tower and crenellations to the southern elevation. The house is listed as being of architectural or historical interest Grade II. The Keep occupies one of the largest gardens in Dartmouth and over the years it has been beautifully landscaped to create a tranquil setting with an abundance of colour, set behind ancient stone walls. Anotable feature of The Keep is the location. Mount Boone is a highly desired residential road set away from the town centre, yet the town remains within walking distance.
