Introduction

Arundel House is situated in an elevated position in a quiet residential road in the sought-after Wolborough Hill area of Newton Abbot, a location which affords the property fine and far reaching views across to Decoy Park and lake. A short walk away is the bustling market town of Newton Abbot, which is conveniently located between the coast and Dartmoor National park. Newton Abbot offers a wide choice of amenities and schools, convenient road links and mainline railway station. The delightful market town of Totnes (on the River Dart) is also a short drive from the property.

Property

Arundel House is an impressive and elegant detached Victorian villa dating back to the 1870s. The spacious accommodation is presented in a gracious and tasteful style echoing the era of the property and the interior still retains some original period features, including the high ceilings, window shutters and fireplaces. From the south facing elevation, there are lovely far-reaching views across to Decoy Park and lake to enjoy. At the Garden Level, there is a good deal of extra space, offering the potential for additional accommodation such as an Annexe, office or similar, subject to the necessary planning consents. This property would suit anyone looking for a well-presented period property of good size, in a quiet location with attractive gardens and outstanding views.

Gardens & Grounds

Arundel House is approached from the road by a pedestrian gate which leads up through attractive mature landscaped front gardens which form a lovely setting for the property, being extensively planted with colourful flowers, trees and shrubs. To the side, there is a good size area of level lawn where there is a timber summerhouse. The gardens lead around to the rear where there is an attractive brick pavioured terrace from where there is good privacy and delightful views across to the park and lake can be enjoyed. Further tiered lawned areas continue up to a tall stone wall which forms the boundary to the rear of the property, and here there is a timber outbuilding used currently as a greenhouse. At the road level, there is a single garage for the property.

Tenure

The property is offered for sale freehold.
