House For Sale £499,500
Tucked away in a private cul-de-sac, this SEMI-DETACHED HOUSE has been extended from its original design whilst boasting sunny walled gardens, genenrous garage and driveway parking, and additional allocated parking provision within the road. The living space provides a versatile design with two large ground floor reception rooms, with the newer extension affording potential to create an annexe or admirably suiting office space with its own access door.
St Marychurch is one of Torquay's most desirable locations, with this property just a short, virtually level stroll to the heart of the pedestrianised precinct and array of local independent traders, national convenience stores, medical practices, dentist, post office, cafe's, pubs and restaurants. A selection of highly regarded schools are also on the doorstep, whilst Cary Parks, Torquay Golf Club and picturesque Babbacombe Downs with beaches below are equally accessible.

OWNERS INSIGHT
"I saw immediate potential in the house, and over the past seven years I have extended and upgraded to suit my family needs. The garage and driveway parking has been essential, the walled garden now a relaxing and sunny space, and the house giving versatility. I have not fully utilised the extension, but I had considered creating an annexe wing which may be beneficial for new owners. The house has given me a lifestyle, just a short walk to the shopping precinct and Babbacombe Downs, beautiful dog walks virtually on the doorstep, and schools close by. I know I will struggle to find everything I have enjoyed at St Margarets Close, but it is time to downsize with one eye on retirement."
