Description

A beautifully presented and updated detached home in a highly desirable locale, sought after for its proximity to quality schools including the Grammar schools and Sherwell Valley Primary School. Torbay Hospital and a selection of local shops are a short distance from the house.

The current owners have undergone a large program of renovations to present a high quality 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom family home which stands out. The house enjoys a level access with secure and private electric gates leading to a considerable front garden and sits on a generous plot with beautiful rear gardens.

Inside the house has undergone high quality refurbishments to leave a light filled home with a practical and sensible layout ideal for families with an enjoyable flow throughout. The dividing wall from the lounge has been opened up partially to create more light and sight lines for the whole family when enjoying meals and time in the kitchen. The partially open dividing wall has an incredible feature fireplace which adds a touch of drama and cosiness to the whole affair.

The kitchen family room is an ideal social space for preparing meals and socialising as the current owners have renovated the space and added a beautiful kitchen with a large island and views towards the stunning gardens. Highlights of the kitchen include quartz worktops, built in dishwasher, wireless remote charging built in, induction hob and feature extractor, water purifier, recycling centre, pull-out pantry and space for a large American fridge freezer and much more. The addition of large floor to ceiling sliding doors have allowed the whole space to come alive and give the feeling of the outside-in. To the rear of the kitchen there is a newly updated downstairs WC and laundry area which houses the boiler.

To the front of the property there is a 4th bedroom which could also be used as a large study. Upstairs there are 3 nicely appointed bedrooms with built in storage. A stylish bathroom suite adds a touch of convenience. The main bedroom has a newly renovated en-suite which is much in keeping with the rest of the house.

Torquay property experts since 2010
Your Property, Our Passion

At Absolute Sales & Lettings we do modern estate agency a bit differently. We're local and independent to our core, and always focus on delivering a totally bespoke approach to selling and letting properties, combining our local expertise and a powerful network with unique property marketing campaigns. Founding Director Simon Fisher first opened our doors in 2010, and are now proud to not only have 3 well-established offices across Torbay, but to also have been presented with multiple coveted awards, including 'GOLD South West Regional Estate Agency' at the prestigious Negotiator Awards. We're also incredibly proud and active supporters of our local charity, Rowcroft Hospice.

When choosing Absolute, you'll meet a devoted, experienced and well-connected team of property professionals who will work alongside you to make your home or investment property stand out from the crowd, ultimately achieving you the best price in the right timescale. Our innovative ethos has always put us at the forefront of contemporary estate agency, from the use of the latest property technology, to the modern designs of our offices and in-house marketing. Above all else, our primary goal is to provide you with an outstanding level of attentiveness, care and expertise.

Our Torquay Sales branch is headed up by Director Darren Hole, who has been working in Torbay estate agency since 1997. Darren is assisted by our highly accomplished Torquay team, including Senior Property Consultants Tina Liddiard and Frank Earnshaw, who have been helping Torquay residents with their properties from our sleek Wellswood office since 2016. Selling your home is one of the biggest financial decisions you will ever have to make and choosing who to trust with this is key to a successful sale. Our vendors love our professional photography, bespoke brochures, 3D virtual tours and extensive social media marketing that we are able to offer, and buyers find them invaluable when selecting which properties to view.

We're also proud to have a highly-established lettings team, which is headed up by our Lettings Director Chelsey Earnshaw who won the coveted 'Best Property Manager Gold Award' at the Sunday Times Letting Agency of the Year Awards. Chelsey is ably-assisted by our experienced Lettings Manager Natalie Cook. A unique part of our lettings service is that you'll be assigned a designated property manager who will look after you and all aspects of the lettings process, including ensuring your compliance. If you are looking for an agent to manage your property as if it was their own, we'd love to talk to you.

'Our vision is to always be the number one choice of agent in Torbay, Teignbridge and South Devon: To continue to be the first name that comes to mind when a landlord or vendor considers letting or selling their property, offering a service so good that our customers recommend us above all others. We are the most reliable, honest, friendly and caring agent with our brand recognised by everyone who will consider us to be the 'Absolute' best.'
