Empire Road, St. Marychurch, Torquay

The Approach

From Empire Road, a gated entrance leads into the neatly presented front garden, with access to the property provided by a UPVC double-glazed door. Upon entry, you step into an inner porch, where a glazed natural wood internal door opens onto the welcoming reception hallway. The hallway features a staircase rising to the first floor with useful under-stair storage, while both the porch and hallway are finished with attractive engineered oak flooring, lending a warm and refined touch to the approach.

Reception Rooms

From the hallway, a glazed natural wood internal door opens into the dining room, where the attractive engineered oak flooring from the reception hall continues. Generously proportioned, the dining room comfortably accommodates a family dining table and benefits from open access to the adjoining living room. A double-glazed window overlooks the rear garden, along with a long wall-mounted central heating radiator. The living room is enhanced by a walk-in bay window to the front aspect, fitted with a contemporary vertical wall-mounted radiator. A decorative fireplace with a natural wood surround frames an ornate black cast iron insert, set upon a tiled hearth, creating a stylish focal point for the space.

Kitchen/breakfast room

Positioned at the rear of the property, the kitchen/breakfast room offers a bright and well-proportioned space, enhanced by polished floor tiles. Fitted with a range of classic Shaker-style cream wall and base units, the design is complemented by downlighters, plinth lighting, and roll-edge work surfaces, set against contrasting metro-tiled splashbacks. A large inset one-and-a-half stainless steel sink with drainer is positioned beneath a double-glazed window overlooking the rear garden, with a further window adjacent to a uPVC double-glazed door providing direct garden access. Appliances include an eye-level Neff double oven and a Neff five-burner gas hob with a large central burner, set beneath a stylish extractor hood. The cabinetry incorporates a recess for a large, free-standing fridge/freezer, while under-counter spaces offer plumbing for a washing machine and room for a dishwasher. The wall-mounted gas boiler is also located in this room.

First Floor

From the first-floor landing, which features built-in storage above the stairs, access is provided to three bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedroom one, positioned at the front of the property, is a generously proportioned double and enjoys a walk-in bay window along with an additional side window, flooding the space with natural light. Bedroom two is another well-sized double, incorporating built-in shelving and hanging rails beneath the staircase to the second floor. Bedroom three is a comfortable single, currently utilised as a home office. All bedrooms are fitted with double-glazed windows and central heating radiators. The modern bathroom is finished to a high standard, with fully tiled walls and flooring, underfloor heating, and an obscured double-glazed window supplemented by a Velux window for excellent natural light. The suite comprises a bathtub with electric shower over, a pedestal wash basin, WC, and a wall-mounted heated towel rail.

Second Floor

From the first-floor landing, a staircase rises to the second floor, where a spacious fourth bedroom is found which is a double. This room benefits from a Velux window, built-in storage cupboard, two eaves storage spaces, and a central heating radiator.

A Garden to Enjoy

Perfect for both relaxation and entertaining, the south facing garden is attractively laid with paved patio slabs, offering a low-maintenance outdoor space. Enclosed by a combination of painted stone-built walls topped with contemporary timber slats, the garden benefits from a rear gate for convenient access to the rear access lane. Leading directly from the kitchen, it provides an ideal setting for al fresco dining, with ample room for outdoor furniture. Additional features include a water tap, a garden shed for storage, and thoughtfully placed planters and potted plants, adding charm and colour throughout the space.
