3 bedroom apartment for sale

Oakford House is an imposing and elegant period residence, originally an early Victorian Vicarage and later used as a School House. Constructed from traditional Devon ‘Breccia Stone’ with classic architectural features, this detached former residence has been converted into several apartments and maisonettes.

Situated in a rural village setting within a conservation area of natural beauty, Oakford House is just a short drive from the market town of Newton Abbot and the nearby village of Stokeinteignhead. The lovely River Teign and the waterside village of Shaldon are also close by. The area offers a variety of recreational activities, including a yacht club at Coombe Cellars, water skiing, windsurfing, and rowing. The nearby village of Stokeinteignhead has a primary school, and Newton Abbot provides full amenities, including shops, schools, and a rail station with connections to Plymouth, Exeter, and London Waterloo, accessible via the A380 and M5 by road. Additionally, river walks and Torbay are within easy reach.

Oakford House is approached from Shaldon Road through large, imposing double wrought iron gates that open into the residence’s car park, flanked by elegant coach lamps. From the parking area, a few steps lead to the entrance door of the Penthouse. This whole-floor apartment is accessed via its very own private tower, complete with the old school bell, now replaced with a modern bell and knocker.

The initial entrance leads to a winding and spacious staircase with various picture windows overlooking the estate and countryside. At the top, the accommodation begins with the main “Parlour” kitchen/diner, a dual-aspect space offering plenty of room for modernisation and redesign into a luxurious open-plan living and dining area. The living room features a vaulted ceiling and a central picture window, creating a spacious and inviting atmosphere. Additionally, there is a spacious room that is perfect for use as a study, office, or playroom. This versatile space could easily be converted into a fourth bedroom if desired.

The Penthouse includes three double bedrooms, with the large dual-aspect main bedroom and second bedroom offering far-reaching countryside views. There is an en-suite shower room and family bathroom. The communal grounds are well-kept and private, providing a great countryside area for residents to enjoy.

While the apartment is well-presented, it would benefit from redecoration and modernisation to enhance its original features and character. This property offers a great space in a lovely location, complete with its own tower.

The Penthouse comes with three private allocated parking spaces. The ground rent is £50 per annum, and the service charge is £90 per month, which includes water, lighting in common areas, and building insurance. The property has LPG gas central heating with a communal supply, and each apartment has a separate gas meter.
