A three-bedroom detached property offered at auction with clear scope for renovation and value uplift. The house provides two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast area with conservatory, utility room and a family bathroom across two floors. Total internal area is approximately 496 sq ft, so rooms are modest in size.
The plot is a standout feature: a large, south-facing enclosed garden mainly laid to lawn with a raised decked seating area and two outbuildings, providing strong external living and redevelopment potential. The property has double glazing (installed before 2002) and electric storage heaters; the EPC rating is E.
Construction is mixed (stone, cob and timber) and the property requires renovation throughout; expect works to heating, cosmetic updating, and possible structural or fabric investigations due to the mixed construction. Tenure is unknown and the sale will proceed via auction, which suits buyers seeking a clear purchase timetable and pricing opportunity.
Location delivers convenience to Newton Abbot town centre amenities, good local schools and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. This is suited to investors or experienced DIY buyers wanting a town-centre project with a large private garden and clear scope to add value, but not recommended for someone seeking a move-in-ready home.
