Barton, Torquay

This MATURE DETACHED BUNGALOW has been a treasured home for our client’s family for twenty seven years. The deceptive living space affords a traditional two bedroom design, with the sitting/dining room and kitchen both overlooking, and opening directly to the southerly facing rear garden, complemented with tandem driveway parking and single garage.

The property stands on the outskirts of Torquay within an established residential district just a short saunter to local shops at Barton Hill Road, whilst more comprehensive amenities including a host of national chain stores can be found a little further at The Willows. Torbay Hospital is under 2 miles distance, close to the South Devon Highway linking Torbay to Newton Abbot with its main line rail station, and the regional city of Exeter beyond.

OWNER INSIGHT

"My mother enjoyed many years living in Torquay, her bungalow met all her needs. The southerly orientation of the property gives it a bright and cheerful ambiance. My mother loved her garden, a particularly sunny, sheltered and private space and with well established trees and shrubs it was easy to maintain. The property is in a good location, just a short walk to local shops and good bus services close by enabling independence. The bungalow is now ready for new owners to enjoy it, to uplift it and make it their own."
