Summary - THE PRIORY 23 PRIORY ROAD ABBOTSKERSWELL NEWTON ABBOT TQ12 5PP
2 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Spacious retirement living with extensive leisure facilities and landscaped grounds.
Penthouse apartment with balcony and outstanding countryside views
A rare penthouse within a historic Victorian priory, this spacious two-bedroom retirement apartment enjoys elevated countryside views and direct access to extensive communal facilities. Positioned on the edge of Abbotskerswell yet within the main clubhouse, the apartment combines peaceful outlooks with the convenience of an on-site restaurant, heated indoor pool, salon and regular minibus trips to local shops.
The accommodation is large and well-appointed for independent retirement living, with a balcony, fitted kitchen appliances and generous living space beneath high Victorian ceilings. Residents benefit from formal gardens, croquet lawn, allotments, guest suite and 24-hour emergency call system — valuable comforts for those seeking social life and practical support on site.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold and sits within a listed building, which can restrict alterations and may complicate insurance and repairs. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the original granite walls are likely uninsulated, so running costs and retrofit works should be considered. Broadband speeds are reported slow despite excellent mobile signal.
This apartment will suit downsizers and retirees who value community, leisure facilities and a picturesque setting over self-contained rural isolation. It offers immediate lifestyle benefits with potential to personalise within the constraints of listed status and leasehold ownership.
