A wonderful detached character home in an exclusive and highly
coveted address on the edge of a picturesque village.
Thought to have been created from the conversion of a stone
stable block many years ago, the property was significantly
enlarged and remodelled in the early 2000s to now provide an
impressive and individual home seamlessly teaming attractive
character features with functionality and a contemporary twist.
Occupying a wonderful plot approaching half an acre in total,
the rear garden is a great feature with one side boundary enclosed
by an attractive tall stone wall and being mainly laid to a wide
and long expanse of lawn with a terrace adjoining the home. Within
the garden is a lovely detached studio style building with floor to
ceiling glazing on two side aspects and a vaulted ceiling, ideal
for hobbies or as a home office. At the front, a driveway provides
access to two areas of courtyard providing extensive parking and
access to a detached timber frame double carport with attached
store.
Rectory Road has over recent years become one of the areas most
sought after locations and is made up mainly of large individual
detached houses on large plots. The pretty village of East Ogwell
with its active community home to several clubs and societies is
around half a miles walk. Newton Abbot town centre with its first
class selection of shops and stores and excellent road and rail
links is around a mile and halfs drive.
