4 bed detached house for sale in Old Totnes Road, Newton Abbot, TQ12 (ref: 562247)

On the open market for the first time in many years, Le Cateau is an individual detached house offering extensive accommodation and a wonderful garden. Thought to date from 1950s, the property stands on a plot extending to 0.4 of an acre which is privately enclosed and well-established with a wide expanse of lawn at the rear, mature planting and boundaries and an ornamental pond. A wide, gated tarmacadam driveway provides extensive parking and access to a large detached double garage built in a similar style to the house.

Despite its large plot, the property is situated in a well-established and highly-coveted location backing onto the lower slopes of Wolborough Hill and within half a mile’s walk of the Clock Tower in Newton Abbot’s vibrant and well-served town centre. Within a stone’s throw is the Natural Trust’s Bradley Manor, its wonderful paths along the riverbank ideal for dog walkers with Baker’s Park immediately adjoining with its play area/café/tennis courts and sports pitch a further benefit for family buyers.

Accommodation
