£27,950 per annum – Grade 11 Listed Office Building with large Car Park to the rear
Substantial Office building of 264 sq.m (2,848 sq.ft) with Gardens and Parking for over 14 Cars
20 Courtenay Park Road Newton Abbot Devon TQ12 2HB
SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
Newton Abbot is a busy market town, being the commercial centre and heart of the Teignbridge area with a district population of approximately 121,000 extending to some 300,000 within 12.5
miles of the centre. Newton Abbot benefits from a wide catchment area drawing from a large number of small towns and villages in the surrounding area. This is significantly enhanced in the
summer by visitors from the nearby coast at Teignmouth, Torquay plus the Dartmoor National Park. Newton Abbots main line railway station is just a short walk through Courtenay Park
Courtenay Park Road and Devon Square are the principle office areas in Newton Abbot with a number of professional occupiers including solicitors, accountants and architects. However, as
always with town centre locations car parking is an issue, so the private car park to the rear of these premises with space for 14 cars, more if double parked, is a substantial benefit. These
substantial semi-detached premises have previously been used as a large Residential dwelling and Guest House, and are therefore suitable for conversion back to an impressive Residential dwelling
with lovely views over Courtenay Park, subject to the usual consents. The accommodation is well laid out over Ground, First and Second floors with additional Basement storage, and offer a good
mix of smaller individual rooms and larger open plan rooms. The premises are available on flexible terms, or possibly for sale Freehold, and we would strongly recommend an inspection.
