About
A truly delightful and spacious detached period property offering flexible accommodation comprising four reception rooms, four bedrooms, a study, kitchen/breakfast room, and family bathroom.
Externally, the property enjoys private, enclosed gardens, a driveway providing ample off-road parking, and a detached garage, all set in an elevated position within Newton Abbot, enjoying delightful far-reaching views.
The accommodation begins with an entrance porch leading into a welcoming reception hallway. From here, access is provided to the spacious living room located at the front of the property.
This bright and airy room features double-glazed sliding doors opening onto the garden, enjoying views across Newton Abbot, and a feature gas fireplace with mantel surround.
A few steps lead down to a further living area, currently used as a family room, which offers a range of uses and benefits from double-glazed doors opening onto the garden and pleasant open outlooks.
Opposite the living room is a further reception room, again offering versatile accommodation.
Currently used as an office, it features double-glazed windows to the front and side, wooden flooring, and a fireplace with mantel surround.
Continuing through the reception hallway, there is another useful room which could be utilised as a study, office, or hobby room.
This space benefits from built-in storage and a double-glazed window to the rear.
Adjacent to this room is a downstairs shower room comprising a low-level WC, pedestal wash hand basin, mains-fed shower, wood-effect flooring, partly tiled walls, and an obscure double-glazed window to the side.
There is also useful storage beneath the staircase.
The kitchen/breakfast room comprises a range of matching wall and base units with work surfaces over, a stainless steel sink and drainer with mixer tap, built-in oven with gas hob and extractor hood above, and space and plumbing for a fridge/freezer and dishwasher.
A breakfast bar provides additional seating and storage beneath.
Further features include tiled flooring, tiled splashbacks, inset spotlights, and a double-glazed door leading to the patio and garden, from where the delightful views can also be enjoyed.
From the kitchen, access is provided to a useful utility room fitted with additional units, a stainless steel sink with mixer tap, space and plumbing for a washing machine and further fridge/freezer, tiled flooring, boiler, and a double-glazed window to the rear.
A double-glazed door leads to the rear porch, which has space and plumbing for a tumble dryer, an outside tap, double-glazed windows, and a door providing access to the rear driveway.
From the utility room, access is provided to a delightful dining area which offers a variety of potential uses and features double-glazed windows overlooking the side and rear gardens.
From the reception hallway, stairs rise to the first-floor landing, where there is an obscure double-glazed window to the rear and access to four bedrooms.
All bedrooms feature double-glazed windows and enjoy delightful far-reaching views across Newton Abbot towards Dartmoor.
The two principal bedrooms benefit from wooden flooring and dual-aspect windows. Separating these rooms is a dressing room with fitted wardrobes.
A further large double bedroom is situated on the opposite side of the property and benefits from access to a balcony terrace, enjoying the pleasant outlook.
Completing the first-floor accommodation is a spacious family bathroom comprising a low-level WC, pedestal wash hand basin, panelled bath, and mains-fed shower.
The room also benefits from fully tiled walls and flooring, two obscure double-glazed windows to the side, a useful storage cupboard, and a hatch providing access to the loft space.
Externally, the gardens at Seymour Road must be seen to be fully appreciated. To the rear of the property is a sweeping block-paved driveway providing ample off-road parking.
This leads to a detached garage with metal up-and-over door and a useful workshop area to the rear. At the end of the driveway there is a substantial timber storage shed and access to the rear porch.
The gardens are positioned to the front and side of the property, with gated access leading to the main entrance.
Large patio areas extending from both the living room and family room create wonderful spaces for outdoor dining and entertaining.
Beyond these are sections of level lawn, ideal for a growing family, bordered by mature hedging which provides privacy and a natural boundary.
Established flower beds add colour and interest throughout the gardens, which enjoy delightful views across Newton Abbot, Highweek Village and towards Dartmoor.
