About
The Old Reservoir is a unique detached home in an elevated Kingskerswell position with panoramic countryside, Dartmoor and coastal views.
Set in 0.74 acres, it offers five bedrooms, spacious living areas, terraces, pool, triple carport and easy access to Newton Abbot and Exeter.
Occupying a spectacular hilltop setting, The Old Reservoir is an extraordinary detached home unlike anything else on the local market.
Hidden away in an elevated position above Kingskerswell, the property commands breathtaking views in every direction, taking in open countryside, Dartmoor in the distance and glimpses towards the coast.
Set within grounds of around 0.74 acres, it offers a rare combination of seclusion, space and convenience.
The home has an intriguing history, having evolved from the shell of a former reservoir into a striking and substantial residence.
It now provides expansive and flexible accommodation arranged over two levels, designed to embrace the surrounding landscape and natural light.
The principal living areas are positioned on the upper floor, where the outlook can be fully appreciated.
A superb open plan kitchen and family space forms the centrepiece of the home, fitted with modern units, integrated appliances and a central island.
This sociable room flows naturally into dining and seating areas, with doors opening onto a large terrace where the views create an unforgettable backdrop.
There is also a separate sitting room, full of character and warmth, featuring a statement fireplace and further access to outdoor seating areas.
Additional rooms on this level include a study, utility room and cloakroom, offering practicality for modern day living.
The bedroom accommodation is found on the lower floor, where five bedrooms provide excellent flexibility for growing families, guests or those working from home.
A few of the bedrooms enjoy direct access outside, while multiple en suites and a family bathroom ensure the property is well suited to busy households.
Outside, the grounds are just as impressive as the house itself.
Sweeping lawns, mature planting and a pond create a peaceful garden setting, while terraces and patios offer numerous places to sit and enjoy the scenery.
A swimming pool positioned to overlook the countryside adds a further sense of luxury. There is also ample parking together with a triple carport.
Although tucked away in a peaceful position, the property is only moments from the centre of Kingskerswell and well placed for access to Newton Abbot, Torquay, Exeter, the A380 and mainline rail services.
A landmark home in a remarkable location, The Old Reservoir offers an exceptional lifestyle opportunity.
