DISCOVER this charming 1950s Double Fronted Detached Family Home, ideally situated in the sought-after village of Kingskerswell-perfectly positioned between the bustling market town of Newton Abbot and the vibrant seaside appeal of Torquay.
This desirable location offers the best of both worlds: Newton Abbot's excellent rail connections to Exeter, London Waterloo, Paddington, and Plymouth, plus easy road access to the A38 and M5. Just a short drive away lies the English Riviera-Torquay-with its stunning beaches, palm-lined promenades, marina, independent shops, top-rated restaurants, and family attractions like Living Coasts and Babbacombe Model Village.
Explore further to discover the picturesque riverside towns of Dartmouth, Kingswear, and Totnes, each offering a taste of South Devon's rich heritage and natural beauty.
Kingskerswell itself is a historic village mentioned in the Domesday Book, offering a warm community atmosphere with local pubs, shops, schools, and churches-making it a fantastic setting for family life.
"Kingskerswell is a village and civil parish within Teignbridge local government district in the south of Devon, England. The village grew up where an ancient track took the narrowest point across a marshy valley and it is of ancient foundation, being mentioned in the Domesday Book." Kingskerswell also has its own shops, pubs, schools & Church's.
Tucked away from the road and screened by mature trees, this distinctive family home enjoys a sense of privacy and seclusion, accessed via gated entry. A shared driveway, approached from Woodland Avenue (not owned by the property), leads to the garage and parking area, with generous wraparound gardens guiding you to the entrance porch.
Once inside, the porch opens into a study area-ideal for a home office or reading nook-which flows into the central hallway. To the right lies the spacious, dual-aspect living room, centred around a charming late Edwardian-style fireplace, currently housing a gas fire with tiled surround, hood, hearth, grate, and timber mantle-offering a characterful focal point to the room.
To the left, the formal dual-aspect dining room overlooks both the front and rear gardens, making it perfect for entertaining. This leads into a generously sized kitchen/breakfast room, also enjoying garden views from both aspects. The kitchen currently features a U-shaped arrangement of storage units and worktops, with gas cooker point, plumbing for a washing machine, space for fridge/freezer, and a tiled floor. While perfectly functional, this area offers scope for modernisation and reconfiguration to suit contemporary tastes and lifestyles.
To the rear of the hallway, a large utility room presents excellent flexibility-whether as a playroom, home gym, secondary family space, or dedicated laundry area. A cloakroom, garden-facing window, and external side door add practicality.
Upstairs, the home offers five bedrooms: two large doubles, two further doubles, and a single room, along with a cloakroom, bathroom, and an inner connecting room that accesses the two gable-end bedrooms. Light-filled and spacious throughout, the upper floor also benefits from scenic rural views stretching across to Dartmoor.
Set on approximately 0.22 acres, the property is surrounded by wraparound gardens and features a decked sun terrace-ideal for relaxing, play, or entertaining. While full of original charm, this unique family home offers exciting potential for personalisation and modern updates, making it a rare opportunity in a desirable setting.
This is a unique Family Home, well presented & looked after & worth a look!
