Situation & description

Teigngrove is a very interesting property. Believed to have been constructed as an alcohol store with living accommodation for the old manor house nearby, this property has survived over two centuries of development around it, and remains remarkably intact. Although not listed the owners have not been tempted to over modernise Teigngrove, rather sympathetically modernise the property to a modern yet contemporary family home, and as a result, it retains most of it original windows including some excellent Georgian sash frames with internal shutters in the downstairs living room. All the rooms in the property are large, and Teigngrove benefits from a lovely level front garden, mainly laid to lawn, with two parking spaces adjacent to it, a sheltered paved courtyard and rear garden with magnificent weeping willow. Believed to have been constructed in 1792, many of the roof timbers are believed to have come from a dismantled ship in Plymouth Sound.The market town of Newton Abbot has a wide range of facilities including shops, superstores, primary and secondary schools, hospital and rail station on the London Paddington - Plymouth main line. The A380 dual carriageway is close at hand providing access to Exeter and the motorway network beyond. There are a number of local golf courses and sailing opportunities are available on the Teign Estuary or in Torbay. Although in a relatively peaceful location, Teigngrove is a short walking distance from the bustling town centre.
