Knowles Hill
Knowles Hill sits within a well-rounded pocket of Newton Abbot where family-friendly living is the common thread. Schools are a genuine strength across the surrounding neighbourhoods, with Good-rated primaries and secondaries in Bradley, Bushell, College and Kingsteignton West, plus the independent Stover School within easy reach. Crime rates are consistently below regional and national averages and falling year on year, giving the whole area a settled, safe feel. You'll also find a mild South Devon climate and good air quality throughout, making it a pleasant place to be outdoors.
Housing here offers decent value without stretching too far from the city comforts, with detached homes typically ranging from £358,300 to £399,500 and flats starting from around £109,300 to £137,000, giving buyers at different budgets room to find something suitable. Everyday life is well served by GP surgeries, dentists, pharmacies and a good mix of pubs, cafes and restaurants, while healthcare provision is particularly strong with several hospitals and GP practices close by. Transport varies a bit by neighbourhood: Buckland & Milber has its own railway station linking to Exeter and Plymouth, Bushell has a bus station, and College benefits from a cycleway alongside bus and train links, while Bradley and Kingsteignton West lean more on good road access and are better suited to those who drive.
Taken together, the area around Knowles Hill works well for families and professionals alike, combining strong schools, falling crime, competitive house prices and good local amenities with a choice of transport options depending on which neighbourhood you're closest to. It's a part of Newton Abbot that balances everyday convenience with a genuinely community-focused, settled atmosphere.
