Laureston Road, Newton Abbot

An incredibly well modernised 4 bed Victorian property with far reaching southerly views. EPC Band: D

Situation - This property is situated in a quiet road on Wolborough Hill, a Conservation Area and the most sought after area on the south side of Newton Abbot. Wolborough Hills success as a residential area is due to Lord Devon's vision for creating a most desirable place to live.

The bustling market town of Newton Abbot is located between the Dartmoor National Park and the bays and beaches of the south Devon coast and therefore is well situated for all the leisure activities for which the area is renowned. It also offers everyday amenities, a mainline railway station (direct service to London Paddington) and convenient road links via the A380 dual carriageway linking to the M5 at Exeter. Shaldon and Teignmouth are both 6 miles away and are known for their delightful beaches.

The Teign Estuary offers moorings for yachts, dinghy sailing and boating. In the immediate vicinity of the property there are a number of footpaths and trails to Decoy and Bakers Park.

Description - Church House forms part of a large country house, located in a sought after location on the edge of Wolborough Hill. There are breathtaking views, particularly from the first floor bedrooms and the property is located in a conservation area. This property will be of particular interest to buyers favouring Victorian architecture as much of the original character still remains. It is impossible to accurately date the property but it is believed to date back to circa 1880 and remains Unlisted.
