The Penthouse, Oakford House, Shaldon Road, TQ12 4RR

Fancy your own Private Tower?

We have been informed that Oakford House, an imposing and elegant period residence, an early Victorian Vicarage, latterly used as a School House. Built of traditional Devon 'Breccia Stone' with the more traditional external architectural features, this Detached former residence was converted into several Apartments/Marionette's.

Our client's property is one of kind.

Located in a rural Village setting, a conservation area of natural beauty, just a short drive from the Market Town of Newton Abbot and nearest Village, Stokeinteignhead, Just a short drive from the lovely River Teign and waterside village of Shaldon. Nearby there is a yacht club at Coombe Cellars along with water skiing, windsurfing and rowing. There is a primary school in the nearby village of Stokeinteignhead. Newton Abbot Town with full amenities and Shops, Schools, Rail Station to Plymouth, Exeter and London Waterloo, accessed via the A380 and thus M5 by road. Furthermore, River Walks and Torbay are not far either.

Oakford House is approached from Shaldon Road through large imposing double wrought iron gates which open into the car park with elegant coach lamps to each side of the entrance. From the parking area a few steps lead to the entrance door to the Penthouse

The Penthouse is a whole floor Apartment, accessed via its very own PRIVATE TOWER! Complete with the old school bell for grabbing someone's attention! Albeit this has been disconnected and replaced with a modern bell and knocker.

The initial Entrance leads to a winding and easily walked spacious staircase with various picture windows overlooking the Estate and Countryside. Once you reach the top, the accommodation begins.

Firstly the main "Parlour" Kitchen Dining Room, dual aspect with plenty of space gives the opportunity for someone to modernise and re-design this area into a really luxurious Open Plan Live/Eat space.

The Living Room has a Vaulted type ceiling, with central picture window, another spacious room.

There are 4 Bedrooms, large dual aspect main Bedroom and second Bedroom with far reaching countryside views. An En-suite Shower Room, a separate Shower Room & Bathroom.

The Communal grounds are well kept, private making a great countryside area, that is most usable.

Whilst well presented, the Apartment is a little old fashioned and would benefit from someone to bring in redecoration and modernisation, whilst retaining the original features and character.

A great space, lovely location and with its own TOWER!
