Detached house for sale in Old Totnes Road, Newton Abbot TQ12

On the open market for the first time in many years, Le Cateau is an individual detached house offering extensive accommodation and a wonderful garden. Thought to date from 1950s, the property stands on a plot extending to 0.4 of an acre which is privately enclosed and well-established with a wide expanse of lawn at the rear, mature planting and boundaries and an ornamental pond. A wide, gated tarmacadam driveway provides extensive parking and access to a large detached double garage built in a similar style to the house.

Despite its large plot, the property is situated in a well-established and highly-coveted location backing onto the lower slopes of Wolborough Hill and within half a mile’s walk of the Clock Tower in Newton Abbot’s vibrant and well-served town centre. Within a stone’s throw is the Natural Trust’s Bradley Manor, its wonderful paths along the riverbank ideal for dog walkers with Baker’s Park immediately adjoining with its play area/café/tennis courts and sports pitch a further benefit for family buyers.

Accommodation
