STEP INSIDE Rutland Lodge is an impressive Victorian house in need of some modernisation. It is entered through a beautiful large porch with leaded, stained glass windows and period tiled floor. There is a w.c adjacent and a door to the hallway.
The carpeted hallway has stairs to the first floor, doors to the kitchen breakfast room, living room and the second large reception room.
The kitchen has a range of wooden wall and base units with wood effect worktops, giving plenty of storage. There is a built in electric oven with a gas hob, however the focal attraction is the recessed gas AGA giving the kitchen the character and charm you would expect with a Victorian house. There are spaces for a dish washer and an upright fridge freezer. The breakfast area is carpeted with bench seating and two storage cupboards.
The utility room is a good size with storage cupboards, plumbing for a washing machine and space for various other appliances. A door opens to the garden.
The living room is full of character with an open fireplace, a storage cupboard in one alcove with shelving in the other. French doors lead into the conservatory.
The PVCu conservatory is south facing with a side door to the garden.
The second larger reception room is currently being used as a dining room but because of its size would lend itself to various uses. There is a fireplace, currently not used and French doors to the garden.
The stairs lead up to the first floor landing with doors to the four bedrooms, bathroom, and separate toilet.
Bedroom one is a large double with fireplace (currently not in use), built in storage cupboard and a large window with nice views over Newton Abbot. Bedroom two is a double with built in storage cupboard and a window with views over Newton Abbot. Bedroom three is a double with a feature fireplace, built in cupboard and a window overlooking the rear garden. Bedroom four (originally the maids quarters) is a single room with a window overlooking the rear garden.
The main bathroom has a bath, separate shower, hand basin and a window. A separate toilet and hand basin are next to the bathroom.
There is also a very useful basement with a larder store, a coal store and a workshop.

STEP OUTSIDE The property is enclosed by a stone wall with a variety of established trees inside offering lots of privacy. The driveway is gated with plenty of parking available. (there is potential to build a garage subject to the necessary planning permission needed) The rear garden is large and again has potential to develop. There is a private patio with a pergola above, a large lawned area which is well established with plants and shrubs. By the back door is a useful outside w.c a storage shed and a gardening preparation area.
To the front of the property is a small patio area on the front lawn, with steps leading down to the bottom. There is a wooden storage shed, ideal for garden equipment or furniture.
The Yew trees have Tree preservation orders on them.

SELLERS INSIGHT "Rutland Lodge provided us with an idyllic childhood home where we spent hours in the garden making dens, climbing trees, looking for creepy crawlies, feeding our bantam hens and taking part in a wide range of sports on the front lawn. The 'mysterious' basement was first our playhouse, then a roller skating rink, a model railway layout, a museum, a place to play table tennis and finally, when we were teenagers, a 'Cavern' night club which made our friends very envious."

"As we got older the proximity to town also gave us the independence to be able to walk to our schools, to the town, the station and to meet up with friends without relying on parental transport. The two reception rooms allowed us to have large family gatherings of over 20 people at Christmas and other times of the year. We hope any new family will be as happy there as we all were."

LOCATION Knowles Hill is highly regarded in Newton Abbot and has a number of Victorian homes as well as more modern builds. The location is great for a family as it is easy to walk into the town centre with a range of shops, restaurants, bus station and train station with direct link to London and beyond. Access on to the A380 for Torbay/Exeter and the A38 for Plymouth/ Exeter is just a few minutes' drive away too.
