Forde Close, Newton Abbot

A delightful mature bay fronted middle terraced house situated in a convenient and level location around half a mile from Newton Abbot town centre.

A credit to the current owner, the property offers a characterful, light-filled interior teamed with modern benefits such as double glazing and central heating. At the rear is a lovely privately enclosed courtyard style garden which is a real oasis of colour and tranquillity, with raised planters and a paved terrace ideal for summer dining. There is pedestrian rear access to the garden and also a useful garden store/workshop with power. Forde Close operates a resident on street parking permit scheme through the local authority, and with parking on both sides of the road and homes only on one side, finding a space is not normally difficult.

Newton Abbot’s vibrant and well-served town centre is virtually on the level from the property and offers an attractive range of high street stores, long established independent traders, businesses, coffee shops, pubs, restaurants and railway station.

Accommodation

Stepping inside, the home has a lovely feel. The front door leads through an internal vestibule into the main hallway with stairs to the first floor. A good-sized open plan living room (formerly two rooms) has plenty of space for both dining and sitting furniture with a three-sided bay window overlooking the front. The kitchen has a lobby off with a back door and is fitted with a selection of cabinets and plenty of work surfaces.

The first-floor split level part galleried landing provides access to two double bedrooms and the bathroom. The largest bedroom overlooks the front and is the full width of the house whilst the fabulous bathroom has been skilfully updated over recent times with a four-piece white suite including a roll top bath and separate oversized shower cabinet.
