- Period features: bay window, wood panelling, multi‑fuel fireplace

A compact, characterful three-bedroom end terrace located within easy walking distance of Newton Abbot town centre and the train station. The house retains period features such as a bay window, wood panelling and a multi-fuel fireplace, and benefits from gas central heating and double glazing.
The corner/side plot provides off-street parking on a gravel driveway for two cars and a low-maintenance front patio with artificial lawn, plus an outhouse for additional storage. Internally there is a living room, separate kitchen with breakfast space, a utility room, ground-floor bathroom and three bedrooms upstairs — practical accommodation for first-time buyers or a small family.
Notable positives include an EPC currently rated D (64) with prospective improvement to B (89), low flood risk and a cheap Council Tax band B. Downsides to factor in are the small overall footprint, single bathroom, and stone external walls likely without insulation which will limit thermal performance unless upgraded. The area shows higher crime levels and local socio-economic indicators (hampered aspiration, constrained renters) that may affect long-term resale or lettings.
This property suits buyers seeking immediate town-centre convenience and period character, and those willing to invest modestly in energy and cosmetic improvements to realise stronger value or rental returns. Restrictive covenants apply and should be checked early in the purchase process.
