House For Sale £400,000
Description Park House is a character property forming part of the prestigious grade II listed Park Crescent, originally designed as four grand houses in the 1840s which in recent years have undergone a comprehensive renovation program, carefully rejuvenated to create just eight striking individual homes. This unique collection of properties afford all the character from their historic roots whilst embracing the conveniences of modern day living. This particular property forms the major part of one of the end houses and enjoys well proportioned four bedroom accommodation complimented by a level lawned garden screened to one side my mature stone walling. The allocated parking facilities are positioned to the approach to the crescent featuring an ancient oak tree, with this property benefitting from two spaces.
St Marychurch precinct, with its village ambiance is within a short saunter providing comprehensive amenities from a wide range of shops, cafes, pubs and eateries to a selection of Churches and medical centres. Torquay's Golf Club and access onto the scenic South Devon coastpaths are also both found on nearby Petitor Road.
Owner insight "We have spent three very happy years in Park House and are now reluctantly selling our beautiful home because work has taken us to London. From the moment we turned into the picturesque private Crescent, we felt at home. We then fell for Park House's charming balance of old and new; it combines beautiful period features with modern convenience where it counts; a contemporary, spacious kitchen and sleek new bathrooms. We will miss it all year round, from the cosy winter evenings spent in front of the roaring fire, to delightful summer alfresco dining with the French doors open onto the garden. We're sure it will make someone else as happy as it has made us."
