The Willows, Torquay

Forming part of a development by local builder of repute,  Cavanna Homes, and situated to the head of a quiet cul-de-sac of quality homes on the outskirts of Torquay, this SPACIOUS DETACHED HOUSE offers a sleek design with modern finish and affords a four-bedroom (one en-suite) layout, which has been further enhanced by a tasteful re-design to provide a well-proportioned kitchen/dining room which flows out onto the sizeable, enclosed garden.  The property is further complemented by a separate study, an integral garage and additional driveway parking.

The property stands within close proximity to the popular Willows shopping district where Marks and Spencer, Sainsburys, Boots, Next and a host of large chain stores can be found. Torbay Hospital also stands within easy reach, and for those who commute out of Torquay, access onto the A380 South Devon Highway is easily gained.

OWNERS INSIGHT

“Regretfully we have decided to leave our wonderful home of 26 years to relocate north to be near our grandchildren. We found 24 Swallowfield Rise to be a very convenient location; close to local amenities, but also situated at the end of a very tranquil col-de-sac, in the Willows on the edge of Torquay. This extensive property provided ample room for our growing family, extended family visiting for holidays and office space for homeworking. The substantial and established garden is a magnificent play area for growing children, a challenge for green-fingered enthusiasts, and is crowned with a magnificent natural hedge and copse. The Willows provided easy access to local woodland and open areas to walk our dog, and you are never more than a short drive away from the English Riviera seafront, wonderful coastal footpaths, riverside walks & pastures and the wilds of Dartmoor for the more adventurous.”
