DESCRIPTION Forming part of a select private close of individual homes on the outskirts of Torquay, this CHARACTER DETACHED HOUSE sits slightly elevated within its generous plot and offers well-proportioned accommodation, typical of its era, which presents itself as an ideal family home or those who cherish their privacy with a very private garden and plenty of parking. The property provides a large sitting room, separate dining room and a study, all of which is complimented by four good size bedrooms. The enclosed rear garden provides an excellent family area which enjoys a sunny southerly aspect.

Edginswell Close is positioned within easy access onto the South Devon Highway which gives easy access to Newton Abbot and for those commuting to Exeter, Plymouth or similar districts. Newton Abbot train station also provides a direct link to London and other major cities. Key amenities including Boys & Girls Grammar Schools, Torbay Hospital, Willows out of town shopping centre are all easily accessible as is an excellent bus service. 

OWNERS INSIGHT "It has been quite an emotional decision for the family to sell Ty-Gwyn, and it has been done with a very 'heavy heart', as the property has been owned by the family for over 50 years and is the place in which we grew up and still retain such happy memories of. With us now looking to sell, this provides any new owners the opportunity to create their own cherished memories of a happy home as well.

We have found Edginswell Close to be a friendly, peaceful and very special place to live. With it being a quiet cul-de-sac we always found it to be extremely safe and an ideal place for children to grow up. With very minimal traffic passing, as children we used to spend many a day playing in the lane with our neighbours whilst our parents enjoyed the privacy of the rear garden and the open aspect of the front.

Being nestled on the outskirts of the town the property is ideal for those commuting out of the town on a regular basis or alternatively with the house being situated within walking distance to Torbay Hospital it presents itself as ideal for members of staff there."
