Description
Set back from the road behind EXTENSIVE PARKING, this mature SEMI-DETACHED HOUSE affords extended living space which is complemented by a generous rear garden with versatile store/workshop. Over more recent years the property has provided a family home, although we understand has previous commercial history of professional services as chiropractic and dental practices.
The property is conveniently placed for a comprehensive range of facilities and amenities which include The Willows shopping district, Torbay Hospital, and a selection of highly regarded schools including the acclaimed Torquay Boys and Girls Grammar Schools. Swift access can be gained onto the A380 and South Devon Highway for those who commute to the regional cities of Exeter, Plymouth or beyond. Equally, following the Newton Road onto Avenue Road and Kings Drive you arrive at Torquay's striking sea front, Torre Abbey Meadows, and flagship beach of Torre Abbey Sands.

OWNERS INSIGHT

Having moved away from Torquay, we retained the house as a residential investment. The location has been advantageous for both commercial and residential needs, positioned on the edge of Torquay with exceptional access both in and out of the bay, literally a few minutes walk of Torbay Hospital, and central for a selection of both primary and secondary schools."
