Description

Set behind an extensive electric gated drive, The Hawthorns is a DETACHED CHALET BUNGALOW of great charm, boasting a generous southerly facing garden, enhanced with a timber workshop and garaging. The versatile accommodation provides comfortable primary living space to the ground floor, yet the flexibility of two bedrooms to each level.

The Hawthorns is enviably located on the periphery of Torquay, making easy access both in and out of the town. Local shops at both Barton Hill Road and Moor Lane are a matter of minutes away, with more comprehensive amenities found nearby at the Willows, home to a host of national stores including M&S, Sainsbury's, Boots and Next. Picturesque walks can be found nearby at Brunel Woodland, or by crossing the Teignmouth Road at the end of Moor Lane toward Watcombe Beach and the South West Coast Paths leading toward Shaldon to the north, or St Marychurch and Torquay sea front to the south.
EPC Rating: D

OWNER'S INSIGHT

"The Hawthorns has been a wonderful home, and a peaceful space where I am able to enjoy my garden. When I initially moved here, I was caring for my elderly mum and it was perfectly suited with everything my mum needed on the ground floor, and also give us both independent spaces with the two large rooms upstairs. The Hawthorns is just too large for me now, and it really needs a family to fill the space, ideally keen gardeners!"

STEP INSIDE

A brick pillared entrance with electric double gates open to the extensive block pavioured driveway providing extensive parking. Stepping through the stained glass front door, and ENTRANCE PORCH, the RECEPTION HALL is central to the living space. To the ground floor, a spacious KITCHEN/DINING ROOM spans the full width of the property, with direct access and views of the southerly facing rear garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of oak fronted units with granite work tops and sink, provisions for cooker and dishwasher. Character port hole window. A breakfast bar separates the dining space with ornate exposed stone fireplace with quarry tiled hearth and storage cupboards to the alcove. Oak trifolding doors connect the CONSERVATORY, taking full advantage of the southerly aspect and garden views, with French doors linking the conservatory to the beautiful garden.

VERSATILE RECEPTION ROOM AND BEDROOMS

The SITTING ROOM enjoys a bay window and fireplace, with outlook over the front garden and fish pond, although this room is currently utilised as a bedroom. TWO BEDROOMS and a SHOWER ROOM complete the ground floor, which would comfortably accommodate all primary living space.

STEP UPSTAIRS

From the Reception Hall stairs rise to the First Floor Landing with Velux rooflight and access to eaves storage. There are 2 DOUBLE BEDROOMS to the first floor, the primary bedroom providing an EN-SUITE BATHROOM with Velux rooflight enjoying the open views towards the Brunel Woodland and picture window with the finest views over the private and extensive rear garden. The second bedroom enjoys a view over the front garden and has generous storage cupboards.

STEP OUTSIDE

Electric gates provide a secure approach to the property and extensive block paving for generous driveway parking. The frontage has been well planned to screen the property with an abundance of colour and greenery, including statement fir trees, palm, vibrant acer, magnolia, and roses. A large raised fish pond provides a relaxing space to watch nature and tranquil sound of running water. The driveway continues to the GARAGE with vehicular double door and side personal door. The garage has been divided to provide a utility and shower room to the rear, although could be reverted if garaging is pivotal. A pergola covered composite deck joins the back of the garage, a sheltered spot to enjoy the garden, and next to the greenhouse. The garden extends with lawn and mature beds to the rear boundary, with an abundance of trees, shrubs and flowers. A generous TIMBER WORKSHOP was purpose built for a hobbies area, further shed, and an open pitched roof garden room in disrepair.
