Watcombe, Torquay

Elevated from the road this THREE BEDROOM SEMI DETACHED HOUSE has been a family home for our clients’ parents since 1985. Occupying a generous corner plot with driveway parking for two cars in tandem, the property now requires a program of renovation and improvement but offers great potential for prospective new owners to inject their own taste and style into their new home.

The property stands within easy reach of local shops, and King George V playing fields leading to Easterfield and the picturesque South West Coast Paths toward Watcombe Beach with Maidencombe and Shaldon beyond. More comprehensive amenities can be found at nearby St Marychurch, with pedestrianised shopping precinct and Torquay Golf Club.

SELLERS INSIGHT

"West Pafford Avenue has been our family home for over 50 years, my parents raised five children and many grandchildren in this property and we have some lovely memories growing up as a big family together. The location is ideal for children and families being close to the parks, local schools and shops. The garden was a particularly good feature of the property, being such a sunny aspect, my mother and father were avid gardeners and grew beautiful exotic plants as well as four greenhouses, there was still space for us to all play. It will be sad to see the property go however I hope the new owners can enjoy it as much as our family have over the years."
