Colway Cross, Bishopsteignton

A wonderful detached house, originally the Quarryman’s cottage thought to date from the 1850s, which has been the subject of extensive remodelling and enlargement over the years to now provide an impressive family home.

With spectacular views over miles of glorious rolling Devon countryside, the home enjoys a most private setting with no immediate neighbours on the rural fringe of the highly sought-after estuary village of Bishopsteignton.

Location
Bishopsteignton is an attractive and well-served village located around 3.5 miles from the market town of Newton Abbot and 3 miles from the coast at Teignmouth. For the commuter, access to the A380 South Devon Link Road south to Torbay and north to Exeter, is around 1.5 miles’ drive. Within ¾ of a mile on foot is the local inn, post office/store and primary school, with the local church a little further.

Inside
The property is immaculately presented with much individual character seamlessly teamed with up to the minute features for modern living. The ground floor includes a spacious reception hall with large cupboard off, and a wide turning staircase to the first floor. Solid oak doors open to the lounge, with access to the adjoining terrace and featuring a wood burning stove. A long separate dining room has a useful office off, and double doors leading through to the impressive kitchen, which has a comprehensive range of high-gloss cabinets, integrated appliances, central island and solid granite countertops. Beyond the kitchen is a sitting area opening to the terrace. Completing the ground floor is a separate utility room and guest cloaks/WC.

On the first floor are four double bedrooms including the principal with up to the minute en-suite, walk-in wardrobe and its own large private terrace enjoying the views. A family bathroom has a mains, over bath shower.

On the second floor is a fifth double bedroom with a spacious en-suite bathroom.

Outside
Standing on a privately enclosed plot of some 0.6 acres, the property is approached through twin remote electric gates onto its driveway, which provides plenty of parking. In addition, there are two detached double garages, one of which has a workshop and gardener’s WC at the rear, and also a delightful self-contained one-bedroom apartment above offering a potential income stream or annexe accommodation.

The gardens lie mainly at the rear and include a large paved terrace adjoining the house, ideal for outdoor entertainment, which leads down to a long and wide expanse of lawn, brick-built barn/tractor shed, and under decking storage space. Additional log storage space is at the rear of the garage/workshop.
