2 bedroom detached bungalow for sale

This DETACHED BUNGALOW stands within an established residential district enjoying a good-sized plot with lawned gardens to the front and rear.

A driveway to the front of the property provides off-road parking for two vehicles and leads to a detached single garage.

A host of highly regarded schools are equally accessible including Sherwell Valley and Shiphay Primary's, Torquay Academy and both of the renowned Grammar Schools. For those commuting out of Torquay, the South Devon Highway and Torbay Ring Road are easily joined from this side of the town.

SELLERS INSIGHT

"This bungalow has been an extremely happy home for our Uncle for over 40 years, a home that he and our Auntie treasured, extending and creating what it now offers. They were initially attracted by the large plot, which rises from front to rear and enables enjoyment of sunshine throughout the day. They really enjoyed the sense of community here, being blessed with a wonderful selection of neighbours who were always there for them should they need anything. With the family living away from the area this provided us with peace of mind and was something that we were extremely appreciative of. With the bungalow enjoying a southerly front aspect our Uncle was forward thinking and installed solar panels, which has provided a lucrative return. It will be the end of an era for our family when the property is sold, with this being our last connection with Torquay, a beautiful town that we were born and raised in, and somewhere that our family were proud to call home for many years."
