Plainmoor, Torquay

Set in a popular residential location this SEMI-DETACHED HOUSE offers well proportioned accommodation benefiting from a spacious sitting/dining room, kitchen/breakfast room and three double bedrooms with the sizeable rear garden being a particular feature of the property, mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and hedging.

The property would now benefit from a program of modernisation and enhancement but enables any prospective purchaser the ability to inject their own taste and style into their new home.

Conveniently placed, just a short stroll to local shops in Plainmoor including a Lidl supermarket with the bustling St Marychurch ‘village’ precinct and the scenic Babbacombe Downs also within easy walking distance. A host of well regarded primary and secondary schools are also found close by.

OWNERS INSIGHT

As a family we moved into the house in 1963. One of the delights of the property for my mum and dad was the large garden which attracted the sun nearly all day. The layout of West Hill Avenue and adjacent roads meant that Gardens backed onto each other and formed something like a big enclosed Meadow. Dad soon grew to love gardening and once retired would spend all day in the garden tending his flowers, fruit and vegetables. The kitchen faces East allowing sun to stream through in the morning, then in the afternoon the sun moved around to shine into the west facing living room making it feel warm and relaxing. Living on Westhill Avenue meant it was just five minutes walk away to the shops and other amenities in Plainmoor, buses to the Willows for 'big' shops and to the strand for the delights of the harbour-side and sea front. The house, garden and Plainmoor gave mum & dad and latterly myself, a safe space to live with friends, neighbours and amenities within easy reach.
