Summary - HOLLYCOT, TOTNES ROAD TQ12 1LY
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Large private gardens and garage close to town and parks.
Chain free — first time marketed in over 60 years
Offered to the market for the first time in over 60 years, this detached three-bedroom family home sits centrally within a private one-third of an acre plot close to Baker’s Park and Newton Abbot town centre. The house retains traditional charm — bay windows, picture rails and two reception rooms — and includes a garage, ample driveway parking and a bright garden room overlooking the lawned gardens. Being chain free, it’s ready for a quick sale and a new family to make it their own.
The layout suits family life: generous living and dining rooms, a practical kitchen with adjoining utility and downstairs WC, plus three bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. Mature hedging and established beds surround the property, giving privacy and space for children to play or for gardening projects. Local schools and park facilities are within easy reach, and the town’s amenities are a short walk away.
The house requires updating and some improvement work. While double glazing is fitted throughout, the installation dates are unknown and the external stone walls are currently assumed to be uninsulated, so buyers should budget for potential insulation and modernisation works. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow — an important consideration for home working. Council Tax is band E and the property is freehold.
This is a particularly rare purchase for families seeking a substantial garden and scope to extend or reconfigure (subject to necessary consents). If you value outdoor space, privacy and a traditional home with potential, this property offers a clear canvas in a desirable, low-crime neighbourhood.
