Highwood Grange, Newton Abbot

A substantial and beautifully characterful Victorian villa, offering an impressive 1,795 sq ft of versatile accommodation arranged over four levels, this attractive period home seamlessly blends original charm, generous proportions and modern day practicality. Boasting four bedrooms, far reaching views and a wealth of flexible living space, the property presents a fantastic opportunity for families seeking a home with both character and considerable scope to adapt to their individual needs.
Dating back to the mid-1800s, the property retains much of the charm and elegance associated with its Victorian heritage, complemented by a number of thoughtful improvements undertaken by the current owner. High ceilings, spacious rooms and an abundance of natural light combine to create a wonderful sense of space throughout, while the adaptable layout offers excellent potential for a variety of living arrangements.
Occupying an elevated position within the highly sought-after Wolborough Hill area of Newton Abbot, the property enjoys a desirable setting on the edge of town, with far reaching views and countryside walks readily accessible from the doorstep. Despite its appealing position, Newton Abbot town centre is conveniently close by, providing a wide range of shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities, making this an ideal location for those looking to enjoy both town convenience and access to the surrounding countryside.
Upon entering, a welcoming reception hallway sets the tone for the spacious accommodation beyond. The main living areas include a well appointed kitchen/breakfast room, offering a practical and sociable space for everyday living, alongside a generous lounge featuring an improved living flame gas fire. This inviting reception room provides an ideal setting for relaxing with family or entertaining guests, with direct access to the rear garden creating a natural connection between indoor and outdoor living.
One of the property's most appealing features is the highly versatile ground floor accommodation, which offers exciting potential for those requiring additional independent living space. Subject to the necessary consents and any alterations required, this area could be adapted to create a self contained annexe, making it particularly suitable for multi generational living, an elderly relative, an adult child, visiting guests or those seeking a degree of separation within the home. The existing arrangement provides a number of useful rooms, allowing prospective purchasers to explore the possibilities and tailor the space to their own requirements.
The upper floors continue to impress, with three further bedrooms providing comfortable and adaptable accommodation. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite bathroom, creating a private retreat away from the main living areas, while a separate family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. Arranged across several levels, the accommodation offers plenty of opportunity to establish distinct spaces for sleeping, working, relaxing and entertaining.
