**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 and Torbay
plus the Dartmoor National Park.
St Pauls Road is ideally located adjoining Devon Square and just a short walk
from the town centre, and yet just 1 mile from the A380 Exeter to Torquay dual
carriageway joining with the M5 Motorway at Exeter, which is approximately 15
miles distant. This Grade ll listed building provides excellent access for a
regional business to connect with the national motorway network.
Communications are also excellent into Torbay with Torquay approximately 10
miles distant. The premises are centrally and prominently located in the
Period mixed office quarter and prestigious residential area of St Pauls Road
and Devon Square, being close to a number of public car parks and offering
easy and convenient access to the retail area of the town and the mainline
Railway Station on the other side of Courtenay Park. Devon Square, St Pauls
Road and Courtenay Park are the principle Residential and office areas in the
centre of Newton Abbot with a number of Professional Office occupiers and
large family homes.
