4 bed detached house for sale in Rectory Road, Ogwell, TQ12

A wonderful detached character home in an exclusive and highly-coveted address on the edge of a picturesque village.

Thought to have been created from the conversion of a stone stable block many years ago, the property was significantly enlarged and remodelled in the early 2000s to now provide an impressive and individual home seamlessly teaming attractive character features with functionality and a contemporary twist.

Occupying a wonderful plot approaching half an acre in total, the rear garden is a great feature with one side boundary enclosed by an attractive tall stone wall and being mainly laid to a wide and long expanse of lawn with a terrace adjoining the home. Within the garden is a lovely detached studio-style building with floor-to-ceiling glazing on two side aspects and a vaulted ceiling, ideal for hobbies or as a home office. At the front, a driveway provides access to two areas of courtyard providing extensive parking and access to a detached timber-frame double carport with attached store.

Rectory Road has over recent years become one of the area’s most sought-after locations and is made up mainly of large individual detached houses on large plots. The pretty village of East Ogwell with its active community home to several clubs and societies is around half a mile’s walk. Newton Abbot town centre with its first-class selection of shops and stores and excellent road and rail links is around a mile and half’s drive.
