House For Sale £350,000
Torquay

This DETACHED BUNGALOW has been tastefully modernised by our clients for their own occupation throughout their eight years of ownership. The striking kitchen/dining room opens onto a south westerly facing patio, whilst French doors from the second bedroom lead into the attractive rear garden with various seating areas and raised central lawn.

Barton Road is conveniently placed for a host of amenities, leisure facilities and selection of highly regarded schools, Torbay and Mount Stuart Hospitals, Torquay Squash Club, and Barton Cricket Club. Local shops at Torre are a reasonable saunter, with the main town centre, harbourside and sea front beyond, whilst The Willows shopping district is equally accessible where chain stores including Marks & Spencer, Sainsburys, Boots and Next can be found.

OWNERS INSIGHT

"We have lived happily in our much loved bungalow for the past eight years. We aren't getting any younger and now feel the need to move nearer to all our family in Yorkshire. Our bungalow is light and spacious with level gardens and sunny sitting-out places. Since moving here, we have found the no. 12 bus service to be very reliable and there is a range of local shops nearby. But, we often walk to the town centre shops and the seafront is just a steady fifteen minutes walk away. We have been very blessed with the friendship and kindness of all our neighbours and we are leaving Torquay reluctantly. We would, if we could, pick up our bungalow and re-site it in Yorkshire - together with our lovely neighbours!
