House For Sale £330,000
Barton, Torquay

Set in a quiet cul-de-sac location this THREE BEDROOM DETACHED FAMILY HOUSE has been a much-loved home for our clients for over 40 years and provides deceptively spacious accommodation situated in a sizeable level plot, complemented by extensive driveway parking.  The well-presented property provides extended accommodation, with a spacious dining hall & study leading to the sitting room, beyond which is the kitchen/breakfast room that opens out onto the gardens. There are three bedrooms and a bathroom/WC to the first floor.

The property stands within a matter of a few minutes walk to local shops, and the King George V playing fields, which lead on to Easterfield and the picturesque South West Coast Paths toward Watcombe Beach with Maidencombe and Shaldon beyond. More comprehensive amenities can be found at nearby St Marychurch, with pedestrianised shopping precinct and Torquay Golf Club.

OWNERS INSIGHT

"Having owned the property since 1982 we have raised our family here and found it to be an extremely happy home for us. It has been an extremely difficult decision for us to make in selling the house, but with our children now having flown the nest we feel that it is the ideal time for us to move and downsize. It will certainly be the end of an era for us when we leave, but we will be taking lots of wonderful memories with us and will enable any new owners to create their own lasting memories. Over the years we have found the location to be so very convenient with St Marychurch within a reasonable walking distance, a regular bus service close by and with easy access to the South West Coastal path we have enjoyed many scenic walks enjoying the beautiful South Devon coastline. As we are looking to remain local to the area the convenience is something that we are looking to replicate within our new home, although we know that it will be difficult to do so."
