2 bedroom detached bungalow for sale

Tenure: Freehold

Set on the hillside above the scenic Cockington Valley, this DETACHED BUNGALOW has been a well loved home for our clients over many years of ownership. The interior is deceptively spacious from its discrete facade with some particular attractions being the generous kitchen and sitting room with additional study/snug area. The main living space is complimented by three additional loft rooms which present great scope to formally convert into further bedrooms if required and the rear courtyard garden is ideal for those seeking low maintenance.

Thorne Park Road is quietly nestled close to the Cockington Country Park with the popular thatched Drum Inn and local shops at nearby Walnut Road. Torquay's sea front and train station are also easily accessible approximately half a mile away with the main line station at Newton Abbot just one stop away with direct links to the major cities.

Our firm highly recommend an early accompanied viewing for this quality home.
