TQ1 4SQ
6 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious six-bed period cottage with large gardens and multi-generational layout.
Grade II listed former chapel and schoolroom (c.1852)
Watcombe Cottage is a distinctive six-bedroom former schoolroom and chapel (c.1852) set in very large, private gardens on Teignmouth Road. The stone-built, ivy-covered property has been upgraded and extended to provide flexible accommodation ideal for multi-generational living: two kitchens, two living areas and bedrooms arranged over ground and first floors. Mature trees, a woodland garden and a spacious gravel driveway deliver excellent seclusion and off-street parking.
The house is newly renovated internally but is Grade II listed — an important consideration for any future alterations and maintenance. There are two bathrooms for six bedrooms, so families should note potential capacity limits or the opportunity to add further facilities subject to listed-building consent. Council tax is high and the immediate area scores as deprived, which may affect running costs and resale considerations.
Practical strengths include no flood risk, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus good access to nearby primary and secondary schools including a top-performing girls’ grammar school. The property’s size, layout and large plot create clear potential for a family seeking generous indoor space and extensive outdoor privacy. Buyers should factor listed-status restrictions and the limited number of bathrooms into their plans.
