This three-bedroom detached house on Old Exeter Road offers a rare combination of plot and potential close to Newton Abbot town centre. Set on a large south-facing garden with raised deck and two outbuildings, the layout includes two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room with conservatory, and utility space — useful for growing families or buyers wanting flexible living areas. The property is vacant and freehold, ready for a buyer to renovate and personalise.
The house requires modernisation throughout: electric storage heating, an EPC rating of E, and older double glazing mean energy upgrades would significantly improve comfort and running costs. Construction is described as mixed (stone, cob and timber) with filled cavity walls; buyers should factor in a full inspection to understand any structural or maintenance work required. The accommodation also features two staircases and a useful dressing/storage room on the first floor.
This lot will be sold at public auction (virtual livestream) on 23 October 2025. Guide price is £235,000+ and the reserve will be set by the seller; there is no seller-occupier restriction and the property is vacant. Its central location, large plot and scope for refurbishment make it attractive to families seeking long-term value or investors who can carry renovation work. Note the property is offered as-is — plan for immediate works and survey costs.
