"In over 25 years of local estate agency, number 10 Courtenay Park is without doubt one of the best Victorian properties I have had the privilege to market. The terrace of three, known as 'Peamore Villa', is reputed to have been built around 1840. About the same time the Railway came to Newton Abbot and the town experienced much expansion. The park this house is situated on was the work of the earl of Devon, William Courtenay and was laid out and developed around 1854. With its wonderful accommodation and delightful garden this is an important local property which can only be fully appreciated by an internal inspection."
