Description

Introduction
Behind gates and a sweeping driveway, this substantial four-bedroom home combines original 1930s character, 1658 sq ft of space and mature gardens with the ease of walking into Newton Abbot town centre, schools and the mainline railway station.

One of the great advantages of this home is the balance it offers.
There is the space and privacy associated with a house on the edge of town, including a gated driveway, extensive parking, mature gardens, a garage and a workshop. Yet Newton Abbot town centre, its shops, cafés, schools and mainline railway station can all be reached without relying on the car.

Built in 1935 and being sold for the first time in more than four decades, the house has a warmth and personality developed over many years of happy family ownership. Original stained glass, oak panelling, fireplaces and curved bay windows remain part of the home, while the generous proportions provide an excellent foundation for its next owners to make their own.

This is not simply a four-bedroom house. It is a home with space to grow into, gardens to enjoy and a position that could make everyday family life considerably easier.

The Inside
The original 1930s entrance door opens into a tiled vestibule, where a patterned stained-glass window provides an immediate glimpse of the character found throughout the house.

The vestibule also gives access to the ground-floor cloakroom, fitted with a WC and wash basin and featuring a further original stained-glass window.
Beyond the entrance, the main living room forms the heart of the ground floor. A broad curved bay brings natural light into the room, while oak-panelled walls, wooden flooring and the original open fireplace give it a distinctive 1930s identity.

To the front of the house is the separate dining room. This is a well-proportioned room perfect for family meals, entertaining and longer evenings around the table. It has its own original fireplace, a curved bay and a door opening outside to the garden.

The kitchen breakfast room provides generous working and storage space, arranged around a central island with a granite worktop and inset sink. There is a range of fitted cabinetry, an electric hob, an integrated oven, dishwasher and fridge, together with a walk-in pantry. A door opens directly outside, while the adjoining utility room provides further cupboards, work surfaces and a sink. A separate boiler room completes the ground-floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the spacious landing leads to four double bedrooms. There is also a handy airing cupboard. A drop-down ladder gives access to the loft, which may offer potential for further accommodation, subject to structural investigations and the necessary permissions.
The family bathroom is well proportioned, with a bath, separate double-width shower, WC and wash basin. Two windows bring in plenty of natural light.

The Outside
Wrought-iron gates open onto a sweeping driveway, creating an impressive approach while providing extensive parking and turning space.

The driveway is bordered by mature hedging, established shrubs and a planted rockery, helping to screen the house from the road. A detached garage sits close to the entrance and includes lighting, fitted cupboards, shelving and additional storage.

The elevated position of the house places the principal garden above the road. A paved terrace beside the property provides space for outdoor seating and dining, with steps rising to a broad lawn framed by established planting and mature tree.

From this level, there are far-reaching views across Newton Abbot, giving the garden a more open outlook than its town location might initially suggest.
The grounds continue around the house and rise further behind it through an area planted with trees and steps and paths winding through to the back of the plot.

Of the back of the house there's a workshop and outside storage, providing useful space for gardening equipment, and practical projects.

The Location
Rundle Road occupies an elevated residential position close to the centre of Newton Abbot, and it is the convenience of this location that really sets the property apart.

For families, everyday life is particularly well catered for with nurseries and primary schools within an easy walk of the house. For older children, South Devon UTC and Newton Abbot College are both within a few hundred yards, with Coombeshead Academy also within easy walking distance.

Newton Abbot town centre is similarly accessible on foot, with its mixture of independent businesses, established retailers, cafés, restaurants, pubs, supermarkets and professional services. Market Walk links Courtenay Street with Market Square and provides a covered shopping area with both national names and local businesses.

The town centre is also benefiting from significant investment. The redevelopment of the historic Market Hall and Market Square is creating new retail spaces, street-food units, a café, bar and flexible areas for markets and events, adding to the town’s daytime and evening offering.

Newton Abbot railway station is also within walking distance, with direct rail services connecting the town with Exeter, Plymouth and London Paddington. This makes the location particularly practical for commuting, education and regular travel further afield.

By road, Newton Abbot is well placed for the wider South Devon area. The English Riviera, Teignmouth, Shaldon, Totnes, Exeter and Dartmoor can all be reached with relative ease, making the town an excellent base for enjoying both the coast and countryside.
