Description

INTRODUCTION
12 Marlowe Close is a fabulous detached chalet style bungalow occupying a quiet end of cul-de-sac location in Shiphay. Over the last year the property has been completely modernised from top to bottom by the current owners with a brand new kitchen, new bathrooms and totally re-wired. The property has also received new flooring and carpeting throughout. In addition to the sleek and modern kitchen / dining room, there is a good size living room and two bedrooms, the master affording en-suite facilities. There is also a separate family bathroom. From the entrance hallway return stairs take you up to brand new accommodation with two private rooms radiating off a landing area. Flexibility of accommodation is available to suit a variety of needs and requirements in this wonderful home.

Outside, a private driveway providing parking for at least two cars leads up to an attached single garage with a utility area to the back. The gardens mainly lie to the front and rear of the property and have been tastefully re-landscaped. The rear garden provides privacy and seclusion and the front area offers some wonderful leafy views from the bungalow's elevated position. The property is offered without an onward chain and is turnkey ready.

OWNERS INSIGHT
When we saw the property nearly a year ago we recognised that it needed a lot of work to turn it back to a lovely home again. No expense has been spared with the extensive works that we have undertaken and we are proud to present this as a desirable home once more and with the added bonus of additional living spaces to the first floor.

We recognised that the original kitchen was small so have swapped around the kitchen and second bedroom to provide a bigger and more usable kitchen / dining room conforming with modern trends. The kitchen is of a high quality with quartz work tops and Bosch appliances throughout. There is a new bathroom and en-suite shower room and brand new carpets in the bedrooms, living room, hallway and landing area. We quickly realised that we could extend into the loft and have created two more useable and highly adaptable rooms to suit one's needs.

The garden was overgrown and frankly a mess, so we have tidied this up and have revealed a larger plot than even we had imagined. I am sure that our hard work and labour will be greeted positively and look forward to handing over the keys to the new buyers very soon.

STEP INSIDE
A short flight of steps lead up to the the front door and entrance hallway. Straight away you are struck by the freshness and exceptional condition of this bungalow. The kitchen / dining room is an outstanding room with a modern white suite with clean lines and white base level units complemented by a quartz worktop. There are downlighters and wood panel detailing above the kitchen units providing a modern stylish twist. All of the white goods are of the highest standard with Bosch appliances and there is a utility area to the far end of the garage. There is also direct access to the rear garden and an attractive patio area via brand new French doors. The living room is a comfortable dual aspect room with a relaxing feel and some pleasant views. There are two good size bedrooms to the ground floor level, a family bathroom and a new en-suite to the master bedroom.

From main hallway return stairs lead up to a cosy landing area which provides some useful storage into the eaves. From here, there are two rooms leading off it with Velux windows to the front elevation enjoying some pleasant views. These rooms could provide a perfect office suite or games area for a small family. As previously mentioned the property has been completely re-wired at the beginning of the renovation.

STEP OUTSIDE
12 Marlowe Close is located towards the end of the cul-de-sac and tucked away in a peaceful position. The gardens wrap around the property but are predominantly located to the front and rear. The rear garden offers privacy and seclusion with mature shrubs to borders and a level lawned section of garden with a sunken patio accessed directly from the kitchen. The front area is lawned with established Magnolia and Apple trees to the borders. Whilst this provides a good degree of privacy, there are also pleasant 'leafy' views from this high elevated position.

Within a short walk from the property is Torquay Girls Grammar School and Torbay Hospital and The Willows shopping centre is also within 10 minutes drive. A short walk from the property is Torre Railway Station providing useful travel links to Newton Abbot, Exeter and further afield.
