SITUATION Albion House is situated in a quiet private road of just four properties on Wolborough Hill, a Conservation Area and the most sought after area on the south side of Newton Abbot. Wolborough Hills success as a residential area is due to Lord Devon s vision for creating a most desirable place to live. The bustling market town of Newton Abbot is located between the Dartmoor National Park and the bays and beaches of the south Devon coast and therefore is well situated for all the leisure activities for which the area is renowned. It also offers all everyday amenities, a mainline railway station (direct service to London Paddington commuter train 2.5hrs) and convenient road links via the A380 dual carriageway linking to the M5 at Exeter. Shaldon and Teignmouth are both 6 miles away and are known for their delightful beaches. The Teign Estuary offers moorings for yachts and dinghy sailing and boating. In the immediate vicinity of the property there are a number of footpaths and trails to Decoy Park and Bakers Park.
