Description

Nestled within the highly regarded Shiphay area of Torquay, this impressive four-bedroom semi-detached family home offers a superb opportunity to acquire a property combining space, modern living, and a prime location. Originally constructed in the 1950s, the home has been thoughtfully extended and significantly updated, blending the character of its era with contemporary design.

The spacious interior showcases two elegant reception rooms alongside a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining space, recently transformed into a stylish and functional hub for family life. A separate utility room provides added convenience, while an integral garage offers valuable storage and parking options.

Upstairs, the property surprises with an exceptional master bedroom suite, thoughtfully extended into the loft to create a private retreat complete with a private en-suite and a dedicated dressing room. Outside, the home is complemented by an enclosed south-facing garden featuring a patio area and lawn, suitable for outdoor entertaining or quiet enjoyment.

Further highlights include ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles on the driveway. The property enjoys a prime position close to well-regarded local schools, Torbay Hospital, and the Wren Retail Park. It hosts a range of major retailers such as Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury's, and Next. Excellent transport connections are close at hand, with regular bus services, a nearby train station, and easy access to the South Devon Highway offering a faster link to Exeter. Additionally, the scenic Cockington Country Park, with its 460 acres of woodlands, meadows, and lakes, is just a short distance away.

Tenure: Freehold
Broadband options available at the property include:
* Standard broadband (16Mbps download, 1Mbps upload).

Planning permission was granted in January 2022 for the conversion of the existing garage to create additional living space within the property, along with the construction of an attached store at the front of the property for motorbikes and bicycles. Confirmation from Torbay Council is required to determine whether the planning permission remains valid or has lapsed.

The Approach

Upon arrival, the property is framed by a sizeable elevated front lawn, complete with a timber shed offering practical outdoor storage, while a gated pathway to the side allows convenient access to the rear garden. A tarmac driveway affords ample parking for multiple vehicles, further enhanced by an adjoining gravelled area that could easily accommodate additional parking areas. The home is accessed via a composite front door, which leads into a light-filled and spacious reception hallway. Here, the staircase ascends to the first floor. An oak internal door provides entry into the living room, and an open doorway invites you into the sleek open-plan kitchen and dining area. Underfoot, the hallway is finished with Karndean flooring, notable for its durability and ease of maintenance, flowing seamlessly throughout the ground floor and contributing to the property’s cohesive, modern aesthetic.

Heart of the Home

The stunning open-plan kitchen and dining area was upgraded in February 2023 to deliver a light-filled & contemporary space. The kitchen showcases dove grey shaker-style cabinetry paired with high-quality quartz worktops. Positioned beneath a large rear-facing window is a double Belfast sink while an impressive island is finished with matching units & surfaces creating a practical hub for cooking & dining. The island incorporates a sleek induction hob, crowned by a modern ceiling-mounted extractor and highlighted by three elegant pendant lights. Further appliances include an eye-level Neff double oven, a dishwasher, and a full-height integrated fridge, offering a fully streamlined design. The adjoining dining area benefits from an abundance of natural light, courtesy of full-height sliding patio doors that open onto the rear garden patio. This beautifully appointed room is completed with Karndean flooring, ensuring a cohesive and low-maintenance finish.

Living Areas & Practical Spaces

As part of the ground floor accommodation, there is a utility room just off the kitchen, with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A stainless steel sink with drainer is positioned beneath a double-glazed window overlooking the rear garden. Adjacent to the utility room is a cloakroom, providing useful ground floor facilities, along with an internal door leading into the garage. The garage is accessible from both the utility room and the front of the property via an electric roller door. It is equipped with power and lighting, making it suitable for storage, appliances, or secure parking. Completing the ground floor is a generously proportioned living room, accessed from the reception hall. This inviting space enjoys a walk-in double-glazed bay window to the front, filling the room with natural light. A freestanding stove-style fireplace, set within the chimney breast, serves as a focal point, while the room is finished with matching Karndean flooring.

Private Suites & Family Comfort

The first floor of the home offers three well-sized double bedrooms, each providing ample space for family and guests. Serving this floor is a bathroom designed with a vanity unit incorporating a wash basin and a concealed cistern toilet. A bathtub with shower over is framed by fully tiled walls, while a heated towel rail and two obscured double-glazed windows to the rear complete the space. Occupying the second floor is the impressive master suite, featuring a spacious double bedroom enjoying natural light from the side and rear-facing double-glazed windows with limited sea views. To keep the bedroom clutter-free, this private retreat features a walk-in dressing room. The bedroom also benefits from a beautifully finished en-suite shower room that boasts contemporary tiled floors and walls, a walk-in double shower, a wall-mounted wash basin beneath an illuminated mirror cabinet, and a low-level WC. A heated towel rail and an obscured double-glazed window complete this luxurious space.

A Garden to Enjoy

Step into a south-facing garden designed for relaxation and entertainment. To the rear of the property, you’ll find a generously sized paved patio. This creates the perfect space for al fresco dining or social gatherings in the warmer months. Complementing this is a level lawn area, ideal for families and outdoor activities, which leads to a second, more intimate paved seating area, offering an ideal retreat for a quiet coffee or evening to unwind. Its borders softened by mature hedging and solid fencing.
