4 bedroom property for sale

Set proudly back from the road facing a southerly aspect, this PERIOD END OF TERRACE HOUSE was constructed in the late Victorian era with attractive dressed stone facade. The living space is arranged in a traditional design, extended to the ground floor to provide an additional breakfast room and shower room. The generous garden sweeps around the house to the rear, rising up with access to Dunmere Road, providing great potential to create extensive garaging or parking, subject to any necessary consent. The house has been in the current ownership since 1978, and priced to reflect modernisation now required.

The property is conveniently placed at the top of Ellacombe, betwixt Babbacombe and Torquay's town with harbour beyond, all easily accessible and offering a wide selection of amenities and leisure facilities. A selection of local schools and community swimming pool are also within comfortable walking distance.
