Barton, Torquay

This extended SEMI DETACHED HOUSE stands close to the picturesque Brunel Woodland, boasting extensive block paviour driveway parking, integral garage, and generous tiered rear garden. The spacious accommodation affords a four bedroom design with two benefitting from en suite facilities, and the full width kitchen/dining room opening into the garden and sheltered lower terrace. A private gate to the top tier provides swift access toward Brunel Woodland, perfect for the dog owner.

Padacre Road stands on the outskirts of Torquay, yet conveniently placed for access to the 'village' amenities at St Marychurch where Torquay Golf Club can be found. The pretty Watcombe Cove lies at the base of the wooded hillside by crossing the nearby Teignmouth Road where the South Devon Coastal Footpaths can be joined toward Shaldon and Teignmouth to the north, or Torquay and wider Torbay to the South.

OWNER'S INSIGHT

"I have been very happy living here over many years, but the time has come to downsize as I no longer have the need for four bedrooms and three bathrooms. I will certainly miss the parking, which has given me space for the motor home and two cars on the drive, as well as garage space with storage. The garden has areas of shade and sun throughout the day so you can find a nice spot to relax. I am fortunate to have great neighbours, and the location is perfect for local shops, schools, beautiful walks, or swift access out of the bay."
