Bovey Road, Newton Abbot

A wonderful Grade II Listed detached thatched house with a large private garden and plenty of parking. Situated off the Bovey Tracey road, the property is under a mile from Newton Abbot’s vibrant and well-served town centre and around 2 miles from the A38 Devon Expressway to Exeter and the M5 beyond in one direction and Plymouth and Cornwall in the other.

Accommodation

Stepping inside, the house is brimming with character features such as beamed ceilings and fireplaces, two of which have wood burning stoves. The ground floor is home to two large reception rooms, currently arranged as a lounge and a dining room. There is also an office overlooking the front and a further more cosy third reception room. Running across the rear of the ground floor is a large and practical kitchen with a sitting area and featuring a range of cabinets, plenty of work surfaces and breakfast bar. Enjoying plenty of natural light and a feeling of space, the kitchen has a mono pitch vaulted ceiling with roof lights, windows and two sets of glazed French doors opening to the adjoining terrace. Completing the ground floor is a good sized plumbed utility room with stable door with WC and basin.

On the first floor, a part-galleried landing is again well lit with natural light, having two windows to the front and one to the rear. This provides access to three double bedrooms, the principle with an en-suite shower room/WC and walk-in wardrobe. There is also a family bathroom. Finally, a fourth double bedroom is accessed by a door and staircase from the landing.

Outside
Approached over a private driveway, shared with just two other houses and resurfaced over recent times, the house stands on a plot extending to around half an acre. To one side is a double-width parking bay, beyond which double gates open to a further area providing extensive and secure parking, adjacent to which is a large double car port. The gardens offer an excellent level of privacy and are enclosed by natural green boundaries. Running across the rear of the house is a wide, paved terrace with a large expanse of lawn beyond.
