House For Sale £700,000
<b>Description</b><br /><br />There are very few imposing period properties in Bishopsteignton, and Teign Villa is certainly one of them that will be admired by many who pass by. The current owners have called Teign Villa their home for 37 very happy years, raising their children there and running a very successful Bed and Breakfast business over the years but the time has come to hand the home over to the next family who want to call it home.
The property has been superbly maintained over the years, ensuring that many of the original Victorian features have remained in place. From the numerous open fireplaces, elaborately moulded ceiling cornices and attractive large sash bay windows with shutters, to the stripped floorboards, deep skirting’s and various built-in larder cupboards. Not forgetting the traditional cellar with original coal chute in place. Due to the elevated position within the village, fantastic estuary and countryside views are enjoyed from both the first and second floor south-facing rooms.
From the moment that you walk through the front entrance door, you are greeted with a welcoming entrance hallway. Decorated with the most beautiful William Morris style wallpaper, Demilune window and stripped wooden floorboards. The winding spindle staircase is an eye-catching centre piece and there is access to the substantial cellar from here too. The formal sitting room has a gracious feel with its attractive open fireplace and marble surround that takes centre stage in addition to the large south-facing bay window where you can enjoy views over the pretty front garden. Across the hallway is a period kitchen with bespoke wooden units and built in appliances. A view over the Mediterranean style courtyard is enjoyed through the window. Just a couple of steps lead up into the formal dining room which is full of daylight and offers plenty of space for a large dining table, chairs and numerous freestanding furniture pieces with a door that leads you out into the garden. Classic to the era, a large utility area can be found to the rear of the property offering a WC, walk-in cupboards, space for several freestanding white goods and access into the garden.
The first floor landing is spaciously designed and leads to the wonderfully grand south-facing front bedroom. A large bay window provides views over the rooftops opposite, leading the eyes across the estuary and rolling hillsides beyond. The decorative open fire and mantelpiece, ornate period coving and oak flooring finish this room perfectly. The second largest bedroom on this floor feels like a separate suite, hence being the principle room for the owner’s Bed and Breakfast business. The en suite is spacious and has access out onto the rear garden. To finish the first floor there is a further light and spacious bedroom that overlooks the rear garden and a shower room.
The curving staircase guides you up to the second floor. You will be greeted with another superb south-facing bedroom with stunning views over the estuary through the Demilune windows. A sizeable family bathroom, which used to be a bedroom, can also be found on this level. In-between these two rooms is a small room which could very easily be turned into an en suite shower room.
Teign Villa is sat on a very generous sized plot seeing as it is right in the centre of the village. On entering the front garden, you walk through an historic gated archway and up the garden path. The area offers a pretty place to sit and has an array of mature shrubs bordering the area. An attractive old stone wall leads you along to the Mediterranean style side courtyard garden which is an attractive and secluded spot where the owners have various tables and chairs. The old stone wall continues up the side steps and into the remainder of the rear garden. A wonderful space with a lovely, level lawn, slated patio and beautifully stocked flowerbeds with mature trees dotted around. You get a real sense of privacy and quiet when in the rear garden, you can even get glimpses of the estuary from here too.<br /><br /><b>Situation</b><br /><br />Teign Villa is right in the heart of the ever-popular estuary village of Bishopsteignton. The village has a strong sense of community and many local amenities that include a post office and chemist, doctors surgery, village shop, community centre, village hall, three pubs, hotel, a local real ale brewery, a vineyard, a garden centre and two churches. Not to forget to mention the large music and art scene in the village. Additionally there is a well-regarded primary school/pre school and bus services to nearby secondary schools.
The seaside town of Teignmouth is around two-miles away with its promenade, sandy beaches and wide range of shops and amenities that include a mainline railway station offering a link to London Paddington, an arts quarter and various cafes and restaurants. The picturesque village of Shaldon is a similar distance away with the South West Coast Path beyond. Teignmouth golf course is also only a couple of miles away. Good accessibility is enjoyed to the A380, making for a fast commute to the Cathedral City and county town of Exeter with its international airport, the Princesshay shopping centre, fine dining and various private and public schools etc.<br /><br /><b>Directions</b><br /><br />From Newton Abbot going towards Teignmouth, take the first turning into Forder Lane signposted Bishopsteignton. Proceed through the village with the village shop and post office on the left hand side. After the raised causeway on the left ends, the property can be found on the left handside.<br /><br />
