House For Sale £345,000
Description Situated in an elevated position in this highly regarded cul-de-sac location and enjoying open views to the front is this extended two-bedroom detached bungalow which is set in well tended, landscaped lawned gardens and has been extended with a conservatory to the rear which gives direct access to the attached single garage. The bungalow has been subject to upgrading and improvement by the present owners, including a re-fitted kitchen, new bathroom and replacement boiler.
A host of highly regarded schools including Sherwell Valley Primary, Queensway Primary School and Torquay's Grammar Schools are within comfortable walking distance whilst the local hospitals of Torbay and Mount Stuart are both approximately a mile distance. Easy access onto the South Devon Highway and A380 is ideal for those commuting to Exeter, Plymouth or beyond.
Owner insight "Having happily holidayed in Torquay many times before we were attracted to the benefits that the town offered and when the opportunity of a move to Devon arose it was the obvious location for us to choose. When searching for our new home we looked throughout the town and as soon as we found this bungalow we both immediately knew this was the right one for us. We liked the fact that it was set in a quiet close, on the outskirts of the town and yet easily accessible back into the facilities of Torquay and we also liked being able to walk to the scenic Cockington Valley as well as the picturesque seafront and harbourside. This is something that I know we will miss when we make our move but I am sure it is something that any new owner will appreciate."
