House For Sale £325,000
Barton, Torquay

This MATURE SEMI-DETACHED HOUSE is set back from the road enjoying a pleasant outlook over the central green. The house has been a loved home to our client and family for over thirty years, affording spacious room dimensions typical of its era, extensive rear garden with generous workshop/storage space, garage, and driveway parking.

The property stands within easy reach of local shops, and King George V playing fields leading 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.

OWNER'S INSIGHT

"Having been my home now for over thirty years, it has been an emotional decision to decide to downsize, but the time is right for a new chapter. We wont be moving far, as the area has been one of the biggest attractions for us. As a professional mechanic and motorbike enthusiast, the garage, parking, and workshop spaces have been a god send. Many a happy memory has been made building or reconditioning bikes. The garden is exceptionally large, perfect for those who are green fingered or space for children to run and play. It really is a nice neighbourhood, and the open central green makes a pleasant view."
