Situation - This property is situated in a quiet road on Wolborough Hill, a Conservation Area and the most sought after area on the south side of Newton Abbot. Wolborough Hills success as a residential area is due to Lord Devon's vision for creating a most desirable place to live.
The bustling market town of Newton Abbot is located between the Dartmoor National Park and the bays and beaches of the south Devon coast and therefore is well situated for all the leisure activities for which the area is renowned. It also offers everyday amenities, a mainline railway station (direct service to London Paddington) and convenient road links via the A380 dual carriageway linking to the M5 at Exeter. Shaldon and Teignmouth are both 6 miles away and are known for their delightful beaches.
The Teign Estuary offers moorings for yachts, dinghy sailing and boating. In the immediate vicinity of the property there are a number of footpaths and trails to Decoy and Bakers Park.
Description - Church House forms part of a large country house, located in a sought after location on the edge of Wolborough Hill. There are breathtaking views, particularly from the first floor bedrooms and the property is located in a conservation area. This property will be of particular interest to buyers favouring Victorian architecture as much of the original character still remains. It is impossible to accurately date the property but it is believed to date back to circa 1880 and remains Unlisted.
The house enjoys southerly views over Decoy Country Park, the lake and woodland, with the town in the far distance. Another selling feature is the contemporary, yet traditional high quality finish of the renovations.
Accommodation - A pathway leads to a flight of steps, passing the decked area to the left, to the side of the property with the entrance via the main entrance door to the hallway. The hallway has a travertine stone floor, stairs rising to the first floor, a door to the outside and further door with a flight of steps leading down to the cellar area.
Snug/study carpeted throughout features a cast iron fireplace, recessed cupboards and space for working/desk area. Cloakroom. Kitchen/breakfast room with soft closing doors, granite worktops, space for a Rangemaster oven with 5-ring gas hob and two electric ovens and grill below with Neff extractor hood over. Space and plumbing for a dishwasher, Views to side of the property. Leading off the kitchen there is a short flight of steps leading down to the sitting room with original stripped pine floorboards, a cast iron fireplace with slate hearth and wooden surround with large (almost to the ceiling) sash windows which can be opened to provide access to the patio and decked area.
From the entrance hall there is a rear door which leads to a private patio area, bordered by a very tall original stone wall. From the hall, a flight of stairs lead to the first floor landing which is bright and airy and provides access to Bedroom 2 with cast iron fireplace, slate hearth and storage to either side of the chimney breast. Family bathroom with large bath and shower over. Separate shower room. Airing cupboard with pressurised hot water cylinder.
Two steps down to the master bedroom with cast iron fireplace, slate hearth, and stunning views over the patio and decked area below, Decoy Country Park and Newton Abbot in the distance. Bedroom 3 with the same stunning views and built in storage. In addition there is a fourth bedroom which could also serve as an additional study.
The Cellars - From the hallway, there is a timber flight of steps which lead down to the cellars underneath the house. These are divided into 3 rooms, one used as a utility room with a range of fitted kitchen units with space and plumbing for a washing machine. The gas fired central heating boiler is located here. There are two further storage rooms, one being used as a workshop.
Outside - There is a large paved patio with a decked area which can be accessed via a flight of steps to the side of the house or from the sitting room above.
