House For Sale £295,000
Description Standing in a peaceful location with an attractive garden complete with summerhouse, this semi-detached bungalow has been a loved home for our client circa sixteen years, beautifully maintained and tastefully presented. The living space affords an extended two bedroom design, featuring a loft conversion enjoying open views across the surrounding area. Generous parking facilities are an added advantage with widened driveway leading to a garage.
The property stands on the outskirts of Torquay within an established residential district just a short saunter to local shops at Barton Hill Road, whilst more comprehensive amenities including a host of national chain stores can be found a little further at The Willows. Torbay Hospital is under 2 miles distance, close to the South Devon Highway linking Torbay to Newton Abbot with its main line rail station and the regional city of Exeter beyond.
Owners insight "The bungalow has been a wonderful home for the past sixteen years, but I have now made the decision to downsize and travel a little more. I will certainly miss the peace and tranquillity, particularly in the garden which I have spent a lot of time and effort in making a pleasant place to relax. As a motorbike enthusiast, the garage has also been exceptionally useful, a perfect place to potter and leave my old bike safe and secure."
