Lonsdale Road, Newton Abbot

A wonderful semi-detached Victorian Villa located in one of Newton Abbot’s most desirable addresses. Retaining many lovely period features such as the handsome staircase and ornate coving, the property is full of light and has high-ceilinged rooms, and represents a rare opportunity to acquire such a property within the Newton Abbot area.

Location

Lonsdale Road is situated within the highly sought-after Decoy area of Newton Abbot and is just a short stroll from Decoy Country Park with its lovely walks around a lake and also Forde Park with its tennis courts. The town’s mainline railway station is around a 800m level walk away, with the town centre a few hundred metres further. Newton Abbot offers an attractive and vibrant lifestyle opportunity and an excellent range of shops, businesses, restaurants and bars.

Accommodation

The accommodation is accessed through a large wooden front door into a vestibule with period-style tiled floor and a useful guest cloakroom with WC and basin off. The spacious main reception hallway with deep recessed cupboard off features the original turning staircase rising to a spacious part-galleried landing above. Off the hall is a lovely living room with large bay window with fitted shutters, and a wood burning stove. With doors to the garden is the large eat-in kitchen with central island. A second reception room is currently being used as an office and leads directly out to a large conservatory with wood burner. The conservatory provides plenty of space for sitting and dining furniture and leads out to the terrace and pool area. From the hallway a door opens to a staircase which leads down to a lower level where a lobby provides access to three versatile rooms with good head height but limited natural light which are currently arranged as a home cinema, games room and an office.

On the first floor are four bedrooms, the principal with a first class en-suite and, completing the picture, is a modern family bathroom with spa bath.

Gardens and Parking
Offering much privacy, the home occupies a lovely private plot. A driveway with stone pillars (shared with the attached property) leads round to the main entrance, adjacent to which is a gravelled forecourt and detached garage which provides extensive off-road parking. The secluded gardens lie on two sides of the property and include a wide expanse of lawn and a wonderful resort-style terrace and sunken heated swimming pool.
