SITUATION:
Standing at the mouth of the Teign estuary, Teignmouth is situated about seven miles from the market town of Newton Abbot, seven miles from Torquay and about twelve miles from the city of Exeter making the town readily accessible to the M5. Equally Teignmouth station a short walk from the town centre stands on the London Penzance main line.

Except for Exmouth, Teignmouth is the oldest seaside resort in Devon. Fashionable with the Victorian "nouveau riche" throughout the late 19th century the town remains a popular destination today. Blessed with a mild climate and superb scenery, its dramatic red cliffs form a striking contrast of colours and on a clear day Portland Bill on the Dorset coast can be seen from the promenade. The town also enjoys a thriving port, shipping clay to various parts of the world while the estuary is a haven for sailing enthusiasts. Architecturally the town centre remains unspoiled with many Georgian and Victorian buildings and the promenade indicative of the traditional seaside resort.

DESCRIPTION:
Standing high above the town set well back from the road at the end of a private drive (shared with a neighbouring property) St. Ives house is privately positioned in grounds that extend to approximately half an acre. Originally built in the 1930's with rendered cavity walls under a tiled roof the house has been sympathetically extended over the years to provide spacious well appointed accommodation with the first floor front facing rooms enjoying outstanding views across the town to The Ness, Estuary and Torbay coastline with Dartmoor in the distance. More recently the present owners have replaced the windows with modern double glazing in keeping with the building, upgraded the heating system and remodelled the Kitchen and Breakfast Rooms to provide a well equipped and highly functional kitchen and family dining/breakfast area. Equally the house retains many of it's original features including high ceilings, deep skirtings and hardwood doors. Externally the Double Garage has also been extended and remodelled and now benefits from a tiled pitch roof, double glazing and a very useful work shop storage area. The grounds are an undoubted feature being private with open fields to the rear and benefit from a large paved terrace, paved barbecue area, Summerhouse, Shed and 2 Greenhouses together with a very useful area to the rear of the property that has been fenced and is currently set aside for a touch of "The Good Life". In all a very comfortable home.

DIRECTIONS:
From Teignmouth railway station proceed in the direction of Dawlish following the one way system into Dawlish Road, continue up the hill bearing left in to Woodway Road, continue up Woodway Road to the junction with New Road, bear right and the driveway leading up to St. Ives House will be seen on the left hand side just passed Moor Close.
