Summary - Slade lane, Abbotskerswell, Newton Abbot TQ12 5PE
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Secluded character home with versatile outbuildings and income potential.
Circa 5.89 acres including award-winning ancient woodland
Set within nearly six acres of formal gardens and award-winning ancient woodland, Ladywell is a beautifully presented former lodge house with period character and thoughtful modern updates. The cottage blends original features — steep gables, sash-style windows and a striking Victorian chimney — with recent sympathetic renovation, creating comfortable family accommodation arranged over two floors.
The grounds are the property’s standout asset: established lawns, specimen trees, a running stream, newly planted orchard and well-maintained paths through protected ancient woodland. A range of outbuildings, including a summerhouse/gym, garden lodge (previously used for short-term letting with sauna) and a substantial storage building with carport, add versatility and income potential.
Practical points are straightforward: mains gas central heating, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and off-street parking. Note the site is subject to Tree Preservation Orders and the woodland is managed for conservation. There is a medium flood risk in parts of the grounds, and the property falls in Council Tax band E. Any extension or change of use would need the usual planning consents.
For families seeking seclusion without isolation, Ladywell offers a rare combination of character home and extensive, private woodland close to village amenities and good local schools. It will suit buyers who value wildlife, outdoor space and who understand the responsibilities of managing a large, ecologically sensitive plot.
