Description

Tucked away within a peaceful and well-regarded residential area on the fringes of Chelston, this attractive and chain-free three-bedroom semi-detached property occupies an excellent corner plot in a cul-de-sac location, boasting plenty of outside space.

The property offers both attractive curb appeal and practical advantages, including off-road parking for three vehicles via a private driveway, along with a detached garage. The surrounding gardens, both front and rear, are level, beautifully maintained, and ideal for family enjoyment or outdoor entertaining.

Internally, the accommodation is well-presented in turnkey condition and thoughtfully arranged. The ground floor comprises a bright and airy living room, a modern fitted kitchen, and an adjoining utility conservatory which provides direct access to the rear garden. On the first floor, there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, a spacious single bedroom, and a contemporary family bathroom.

The property has undergone a comprehensive improvement programme within the last seven years. These include a full electrical rewire with an updated consumer unit, replacement boiler, replacement radiators, modern flooring, and updated kitchen and bathroom installations. In 2024, upgraded uPVC double-glazed windows and doors were fitted, along with a newly installed insulated conservatory roof (FENSA certified). Further enhancements include updated fencing, a replacement garage window (2023), and replacement lead flashing to the chimney. Gas-fired central heating and insulation in cavity walls and roof space ensure year-round comfort and energy efficiency.

Set in a desirable area near Chelston, this property enjoys easy access to all local conveniences including a doctors' surgery, shops, cafés, and well-rated schools. Cockington Primary School and Sherwell Park are both within walking distance as well as Cockington Country Park. The location is ideal for commuters and families alike, with nearby bus routes, Torquay train station, and excellent road links to Torbay Hospital, retail parks, and local grammar schools. A level walk leads to Torre Abbey and the seafront, offering access to the beach, marina, theatre, and waterfront dining-perfect for enjoying Torquay's vibrant coastal lifestyle.

The Approach

This attractive semi-detached home enjoys a generous frontage with a well-maintained driveway offering ample off-street parking. The neatly presented front garden enhances curb appeal, with manicured lawn bordered by low-level planting and established shrubs. A paved pathway runs the length of the drive, guiding you towards the property's side entrance, which is accessed via a modern UPVC double-glazed door.

Bright & Functional Ground Floor Living Spaces

Upon entry, the home opens into a bright and thoughtfully arranged living room, brightened by two double glazed windows to the front—one of which is generously sized, allowing for an abundance of natural light. The space is enhanced by modern wood-effect flooring and a contemporary wall-mounted electric fire, with a staircase rising to the first floor and useful under-stair storage. A wide opening flows into the kitchen/diner, promoting an open-plan feel. The kitchen is fitted with a range of sleek white high-gloss units, complemented by work surfaces, tiled splashbacks, under-cabinet lighting, and a stainless steel sink positioned beneath a side-facing window. Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, oven, and hob with a stylish extractor above. A door leads into the conservatory/utility area. It also provides access to the rear garden via a double-glazed door.

Well-Appointed Bedrooms and Bathroom

The first floor includes a loft hatch with attached ladder providing access to the boarded loft. The principal bedroom is a well-proportioned double positioned at the front of the property, while a second double bedroom enjoys views over the rear garden. The third bedroom is a generously sized single, featuring a built-in wardrobe over the stair bulkhead-ideal for use as a home office or as a child's bedroom. All bedrooms benefit from double-glazed windows, ensuring a bright and airy feel throughout. Completing the first floor is a stylish family bathroom comprising a panelled bath with shower over enclosed by tiled walls, a vanity unit with integrated basin and storage, and a concealed cistern WC. A wall-mounted heated towel rail adds a modern touch, while an obscure glazed window allows natural light and ventilation.

Well-Proportioned Garden and Detached Garage

The rear garden is a true highlight of the property—beautifully landscaped, fully enclosed, and bathed in sunlight throughout the day. A lush central lawn is bordered by well-established beds brimming with seasonal colour and ornamental planting, creating a private and tranquil backdrop for outdoor living.

There is a charming patio tucked away to the rear, just right for al fresco dining or a morning coffee in peaceful surroundings. A further paved terrace by the conservatory provides additional space for relaxing seating.

A detached garage, complete with power and lighting, presents excellent storage or workshop potential. Gated rear access from the driveway adds both practicality and security, and the garden is further complemented by an outside tap and provisions in place for an electric vehicle charging point.
