Barton, Torquay

This MATURE SEMI-DETACHED BUNGALOW is set back from the road behind driveway parking. The house has been a loved home to our clients’ family for many years, affording spacious room dimensions typical of its era, and generous rear garden. The property although well maintained could now do with a degree of modernisation throughout.

The property stands within a matter of a few minutes walk to local shops, and the King George V playing fields, which lead on 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.
