Ellacombe, Torquay

Set behind a discrete facade of this END TERRACED HOUSE is deceptively spacious accommodation, a tradition two bedroom design typical of its era with the added benefit of a generous kitchen/diner and study space extended at the rear and sitting room that could be utilised as a ground floor third bedroom. The rear gardens enjoy a sunny aspect having been laid with patio, astro turf and ample storage areas for ease of maintenance.

The house is conveniently placed at the top of Ellacombe, betwixt Babbacombe and Torquay's town with harbour beyond, all easily accessible and offering a wide selection of amenities and leisure facilities. A selection of local schools, the community swimming pool and Torquay United football stadium are within comfortable walking distance with parades of shops found nearby in both Reddenhill Road and Plainmoor.

OWNER INSIGHT

"I have lived in 16 Carlton Rd for around 30 years and have loved doing so. It is a lovely quiet street with nice neighbours. Its location is perfect being only 15 mins away from Babbacombe Downs where there are lots of lovely restaurants and pubs with access to both Oddicombe and Babbacombe beaches. Torquay' harbourside is also within about a 20 minutes walk. Cary Park is also a short stroll away as is Walls Hill, a popular place for locals to walk their dogs. The house is also in the catchment area for good primary and secondary schools. Over the years the house has been updated and now benefits from a large family kitchen, which is great for socialising and holding large family dinners/ parties. The garden is flat and has plenty of space suitable for children to play in. It also has several different seating areas making it a very social space and benefits from lots of storage space for bikes outdoor toys etc."
