Torquay

This TERRACED HOUSE is set at the top of Windmill Hill, commanding open views to the rear over the adjoining wooded area and around toward the sea at Tor Bay with Brixham's Berry Head in the distance. Tastefully presented, the house benefits from open plan principal living space with modern kitchen and patio doors opening to the generous decked terrace and tiered garden.

The road has no-through traffic with the local Windmill Hill playing field located virtually opposite, known for the historic windmills with the remains of the buildings still present. A popular area for dog walkers with sports facilities and woodland pathways around the border connecting to the surrounding housing estates. The popular Torquay Academy is found a short distance past the base of the hill, whilst easy access can be gained to Torbay Hospital, The Willows shopping district and link roads out of Torquay.

OWNER INSIGHT

"Having owned the house for 23 years as my home, I have been torn whether to retain the house as a rental investment but made the difficult decision to sell. The house has provided me with a lifestyle which I hope equally suits the new owners. For me, the attraction has been a low maintenance freehold house, off road parking for several cars, rear garden, and open views. The location opposite Windmill Hill fields with no through traffic have been added advantages."
