House For Sale £350,000
Description This period semi-detached house is situated in a popular residential district boasting spacious accommodation with lofty ceiling heights and many character features typical of its era including an elegant turned staircase and panelled doors. The rear garden complements the interior, ideal for young children and pets being fully enclosed and arranged over two tiers.
Local shops at Plainmoor are within close proximity with St Marychurch and Babbacombe beyond where the renowned funicular railway takes passengers down to the shingle beaches of Oddicombe and Babbacombe. Torquay's town centre is equally accessible, whilst public swimming pool, selection of schools and regular bus services also all within walking distance.
Owner insight "We fell in love with the house once through the front door, we could see its potential and have enjoyed removing the 60s from it and reinstating some of the period features to make a lovely, spacious family home. There is still potential for further development too. We were flummoxed with the lost garden of Studley Road (top tier) but it has evolved to become our favourite part of the garden.
A lovely location as we can walk into town or up to the Downs, a bonus not to be in the car all the time. It will always be our favourite home, so far!"
