This SEMI-DETACHED HOUSE is set toward the head of a cul-de-sac, enjoying open views to the rear over the neighbouring park. The living space affords a two bedroom design, with the sitting/dining room flowing through to the conservatory and into the enclosed rear garden. A particular attribute is the tandem driveway parking to the side with gated access to the garden.

Shetland Close is convenient for The Willows shopping district, home to a host of large chain stores including Sainsbury's, Marks & Spencer, Boots and Next. Torbay Hospital is also approximately 1.5 miles away, whilst the South Devon Highway can be joined easily for those commuting out of Torquay towards the regional cities or beyond.

OWNER'S INSIGHT

"The house has been a great investment for me since 1998, with the cul-de-sac position, green outlook, easily managed garden, and driveway parking being big attractions to me when I bought, and equally proven to be great attributes when finding excellent tenants. With my tenant unexpectedly ending the recent tenancy, it has brought forward my decision to sell. I am sure it will make a wonderful home, or a continued sound investment for a new landlord and tenants to enjoy."
