Furrough Cross, St.Marychurch, Babbacombe, Torquay

The Approach

The property is accessed from Furrough Cross, directly opposite the attractive and historic grounds of Furrough Cross Church, offering a pleasant and characterful setting. Entry is via a modern composite front door leading directly into the principal reception rooms. In addition to the main entrance, there is a secure timber side gate providing convenient access to the property's garden. From here, entry can also be gained to the kitchen via a uPVC double-glazed door, enhancing accessibility and flow throughout the home.

Reception Rooms

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a spacious open-plan lounge and dining area, subtly divided by a central staircase leading to the first floor. These well-proportioned reception rooms are laid with attractive oak-effect laminate flooring. Both rooms are fitted with UPVC double glazed windows featuring elegant Georgian bar detailing, with radiators beneath. The lounge is enhanced by a charming period-style fireplace, comprising a white wooden surround, a contrasting black insert, and distinctive arched brass trim, all set on a black tiled hearth. The dining area comfortably accommodates a family-sized dining table and benefits from convenient access to the kitchen via a large internal doorway. In addition, a door beneath the staircase leads to the lower ground floor, providing access to the property's versatile basement level.

Well-Appointed Kitchen

Designed for practicality and modern style, the kitchen offers a light-filled and functional workspace complete with sleek gloss-finish cabinetry in a soft off-white tone, paired elegantly against dark wood-effect countertops. Natural light streams in through two rear-facing double-glazed windows, with a stainless steel one-and-a-half sink and drainer perfectly placed beneath. A suite of integrated appliances includes a washing machine, dishwasher, and an eye-level double oven, while the gas hob is neatly set into the surface below a contemporary extractor hood, creating a smart and streamlined cooking area. Space has been thoughtfully reserved within the fitted units to accommodate an integrated fridge/freezer, maintaining the kitchen’s clean and uncluttered appearance. Completing the room is a wall-mounted radiator and a double-glazed door offering direct access to the enclosed rear garden.

First Floor Bedrooms & Bathroom

Leading from the central staircase, the first floor reveals a well-arranged landing area that connects easily with the bedrooms and bathroom. There are two spacious double bedrooms, both enjoying classic Georgian-style double-glazed windows with radiators beneath. One of the bedrooms is enhanced by built-in mirrored wardrobes, offering both shelving and hanging storage tucked neatly behind sliding doors. Completing the accommodation on this level is a modern and spacious family bathroom. It is notable for its three obscured windows which provide the room with natural light. The space is fully tiled and includes a modern suite comprising a tiled bath, a generous double shower enclosure, a sleek vanity unit with countertop basin, and a low-level WC. Heating is provided by both a wall-mounted radiator and a heated towel rail, while a built-in cupboard houses the gas boiler with additional storage capacity.

Versatile Top Floor Bedroom

Occupying the top floor, this inviting and versatile double bedroom offers a peaceful retreat tucked away from the main living areas. Bathed in natural light from two Velux-style roof windows, the space enjoys both brightness and privacy, enhanced by its sloped ceilings' gentle angles. Its open, airy layout lends itself to multiple uses, whether as a main bedroom, a comfortable guest room, or a home studio or workspace.

Practical Low-Maintenance Garden

To the side of the property lies a fully enclosed courtyard garden, designed with ease of maintenance in mind. The area is laid with artificial grass, offering year-round usability and tidy appearance. Raised planted borders provide scope for seasonal gardening or decorative planting, while white-rendered boundary walls enhance privacy and brightness. Additional features include an outdoor tap, a gated side entrance for convenient access from the front of the property, and a separate outbuilding housing an external WC.
