We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Description Occupying an elevated and prestigious position on Wolborough Hill, this outstanding and imposing residence on College Road offers expansive and versatile living across four elegant storeys, extending to over 3,600 sq ft.

The property offers up to six bedrooms and a wealth of reception space, allowing the flexibility to suit a wide range of lifestyles-from large families to multi-generational living.
A beautifully integrated self-contained annexe provides additional living space, toilet and its own private entrance, ideal for guests, extended family, or potential rental income.
The main accommodation is both impressive and welcoming, with a spacious entrance hall leading to a light-filled sitting room boasting a broad bay window and high ceilings.
A formal dining room connects seamlessly to the well-appointed kitchen, which provides ample storage and room for casual dining.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys its own en-suite, while five further bedrooms are arranged across the first and second floors, alongside a family bathroom and additional WC.
There is also a sixth bedroom that is currently being utilised as a study.
The lower ground floor adds further appeal with a generous playroom that could be used as an additional reception room, a wine cellar, and useful storage areas.
Outside, the home is set within mature and thoughtfully landscaped gardens.
The south-facing front garden offers sweeping views and a colourful lawned area bordered with established planting, while the terraced rear garden is private and peaceful ideal for quiet enjoyment or alfresco entertaining, there is also a handy outside gardeners' toilet.
Ample off-road parking, a double garage, and additional outbuildings complete this superb package.
Located within walking distance of Newton Abbot's town centre, Decoy Park, schools, transport links and the A380, this property represents a rare blend of space, style and location.
