Summary - 5 RIVERVALE CLOSE CHAGFORD NEWTON ABBOT TQ13 8LA
3 bed 2 bath Terraced
Distinctive five-level granite home with riverside gardens and superb views.
Direct riverside position with views to fields and Dartmoor
Set within the converted granite Tuckey Mills, this striking terraced townhouse sits directly beside the wooded River Teign and offers layered living across five floors. The top-floor open-plan living/kitchen and mezzanine studio take full advantage of elevated river and moor views, while the riverside formal garden, productive vegetable plot and a quality Plankbridge shepherd’s hut add rare outdoor appeal. Parking for 3–4 cars and mains gas underfloor heating provide practical comfort in an otherwise characterful, period building.
The house has been substantially refurbished and maintained to a high decorative standard, with full double glazing and modern kitchen fittings. Interior flexibility is a strong feature: a lower-level granite-floored basement for storage/laundry, adaptable upper-ground rooms (bedroom/sitting room, study) and two double bedrooms on the first floor give scope for family use, home-working or multi-generational living. The riverside garden includes a greenhouse, steel ladder to the river for wild swimming, and a sheltered, private aspect.
Important practical points are clear: the property is in a high flood-risk zone because of its river frontage — flood resilience and insurance costs should be investigated. Broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect remote working unless upgraded. The house’s multi-level layout and external steps will suit buyers who can manage stairs and narrower circulation typical of historic mill conversions.
This home will appeal to buyers seeking a distinctive riverside town residence with ample indoor space, productive gardens and strong visual links to Dartmoor. Its combination of character, practical parking and outdoor amenities is rare in the area, but plan for flood protection measures and a potential broadband upgrade.
