House For Sale £399,950
Description This fine detached bungalow is enviably set in a peaceful cul-de-sac on the fringe of Torquay, commanding open views across Torquay from the front, and rolling Devon hills to the rear. A loved home for our clients since new in the early 1980s, the property has been a loved home, although priced to reflect a degree of modernisation which would now be beneficial.
Rocombe Close stands on the outskirts of Torquay yet conveniently placed for access to the 'village' amenities at St Marychurch where Torquay Golf Club can be found. The pretty Watcombe Cove lies at the base of the wooded hillside by crossing the nearby Teignmouth Road where the South Devon Coastal Footpaths can be joined toward Shaldon and Teignmouth to the north or Torquay and wider Torbay to the South.
Owner's insight "My husband and I bought the bungalow brand new from Cavanna Homes in 1982, and there were still outstanding properties to be built in the cul-de-sac when we moved in. The views are one of the things I will miss the most, watching the sun rise to front, and setting over the fields behind.
It has been a wonderful home and holds many happy memories, but I feel the time is right to downsize and have found a lovely new apartment nearby in St Marychurch."
