5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Abbotsbury Road, Newton Abbot TQ12

A rare opportunity to acquire a highly sought-after semi-detached Victorian period property in the popular residential area of Abbotsbury. Positioned close to Newton Abbot town centre, the home benefits from excellent access to bus routes, the train station and a wide range of local amenities. Unusually for the road, it is one of only two semi-detached properties and boasts the valuable advantage of both a garage and off-road parking—an exceptional premium for this location. Ideally suited to families, the property is also within easy reach of well-regarded primary and secondary schools.

Beautifully restored and modernised throughout, the home retains a wealth of original Victorian features, including ornate skirting and coving, dado and picture rails, and elegant ceiling roses.

The lounge features a striking bay window and an impressive fireplace with a substantial mantel and surround. The dining room offers versatile options and could easily serve as an office, playroom, snug, or library and has a larger than average window, allowing a good amount of lighting to fill the room. The kitchen/breakfast room has been extensively modernised and provides a range of high gloss fitted base cupboard and draws with under cupboard lighting and worktop space and has a central island perfect for family gatherings. Fitted appliances include a dishwasher and space for a range cooker with extractor hood above. A set of bi-folding patio doors lead to the rear garden and the kitchen/breakfast room has the added benefit on inset spotlights.

Within the utility room, a range of matching high gloss base cupboards and wall units can be found with fitted worktops and inset spotlights. There is also space for a washing machine and tumble dryer and a fitted dishwasher, with access to the downstairs WC. A door from the rear lobby leads out to the garden.
