House For Sale £410,000
Thurlow Park, Torquay, TQ1

Set within a tree lined cul-de-sac, this DOUBLE FRONTED VICTORIAN HOUSE affords a gracious period home, tastefully fused with modern design. Typical of its era, the versatile living space presents lofty ceiling heights and many character features, with four reception rooms and four bedrooms, two of which are interconnecting to provide a teenagers suite, although easily reverted. The house sits back behind a front garden, with rear courtyard and further generous westerly facing garden beyond a shared driveway, with potential to create parking or garaging (subject to any necessary consent).

Thurlow Close sits within easy reach of Torquay town centre leading to the harbour, and Plainmoor, with St Marychurch and Babbacombe beyond where the renowned funicular railway takes passengers down to the shingle beaches of Oddicombe and Babbacombe. Plainmoor public swimming pool and selection of schools are equally within comfortable walking distance.

OWNERS INSIGHT

"We have loved living at Thurlow Park, and is a wonderful tree lined road with exceptional neighbours. Over our five years of ownership, we have invested in remodelling and uplifting the house, with the versatility being perfect for our families changing needs. Our teenage son has his own suite, and with four reception rooms it enables ample space for relaxation, entertaining, and home working. The one thing we were intending to do was create parking like some of the neighbouring homes by excavating part of the main garden, however, having lived here a little while we realised the traditional understanding of 'parking outside your own home' was respected within the cul-de-sac. We have also found on street parking nearby easy, so preferred to retain the larger garden area. Our life is now taking us back overseas, and although we have considered retaining and letting, with heavy hearts we feel it best to sell the old house and let a new family enjoy the property as much as we have."
