Coombeshead Road, Newton Abbot, TQ12

Originally constructed as a stable block for the main house and converted in 1951, this unique and spacious home blends historic charm with modern living. Over the years, it has been thoughtfully modernised to provide generous, versatile spaces that cater to a variety of lifestyles while retaining its characterful features. Recent improvements include new windows throughout and the installation of a stylish wood burner, creating a warm and inviting focal point in the living space.

From the moment you step through the stable door into the welcoming entrance porch, the home’s charm and space are immediately evident. The porch offers a generous open area with wood laminate flooring and a large front-facing uPVC double-glazed window. Conveniently located off the porch is a downstairs WC, fitted with an obscure-glass window, concealed cistern WC, vanity unit with wash hand basin and storage, and elegant wall lighting.

An archway from the porch leads into the inner hallway, where a staircase ascends to the first floor. The hallway flows naturally into the modern kitchen—a well-designed, light-filled space with uPVC double-glazed windows to both the front and rear. The kitchen is equipped with shaker-style base and wall cabinets, laminate worktops, a single drainer 1½-bowl sink with instant hot tap, and integrated appliances including a newly installed induction hob and stainless steel electric oven. A free-standing dishwasher and fridge freezer complete the practical setup.

From the hallway, a timber-framed glazed door leads into the superbly sized dining room. This bright and welcoming space enjoys dual-aspect windows to the front and rear, a serving hatch to the kitchen, and a built-in cupboard housing the gas boiler with fitted shelving. Perfect for family gatherings and entertaining, the dining room offers ample room for a large dining table.

The generously proportioned living room is an inviting retreat, featuring uPVC obscure-glass windows, wall lighting, dado rail, and a central fireplace with fitted wood burner, hearth, and attractive wooden surround. An open walkway from the living room leads into the conservatory/garden room—a light-filled haven with panoramic views over the front garden, a glazed roof, tiled flooring, and double doors opening to the garden. This space beautifully blends indoor and outdoor living, ideal for relaxing or entertaining on sunny evenings.

The staircase rises to a light landing, illuminated by a rear uPVC window, with recessed shelving and inset spotlights. Four bedrooms are arranged across the first floor, offering excellent flexibility.

The master bedroom enjoys views over the front garden and towards the village of Highweek, with fitted wardrobes providing ample hanging and shelving space. A modern ensuite includes a tiled shower cubicle, WC, pedestal wash hand basin, and a rear-facing window. The second bedroom is also a spacious double with a front-facing window and built-in vanity unit with wash hand basin. The third bedroom is a further double with front aspect, and the fourth is a generous single, currently used as an office, with a window overlooking the rear.

The family bathroom is a stylish, fully tiled suite with a panelled bath, separate tiled shower cubicle, WC, pedestal wash hand basin, heated towel rail, and inset spotlights. A charming alcove provides useful storage, and there is access to the loft space.

Garden

The front garden is a standout feature—laid to lawn and enclosed by brick and rendered walls, timber fencing, and adorned with a variety of plants, shrubs, mature trees, and fruit trees.
A cobblestone path leads to a detached games room, an invaluable addition offering the perfect space for a home office, gym, hobby room, or even guest accommodation. The games room/study features double doors, a uPVC double-glazed window, inset spotlights, power, and lighting.
The garden also includes a recently added raised wooden deck with a hot tub, enclosed by a rendered wall and equipped with external lighting and power. To the side of the games room, a stone chip path provides storage and bin space. A timber-built shed with power and lighting completes the outside facilities.
