Courtland Road, Shiphay, Torquay

The Approach

The property is approached via a partly gravelled and partly concrete driveway, providing off-road parking for two vehicles and giving access to both the integral garage and main entrance. A stepping-stone pathway leads through a neatly landscaped front garden, attractively planted with a variety of established shrubs and tropical-style foliage, creating an inviting and colourful approach to the home. The front entrance is framed by well-maintained borders and opens via an obscured double-glazed door into a welcoming reception area, complete with a wall-mounted radiator and space to accommodate coats and shoes.

Cloakroom

Accessed directly from the reception area is a well-appointed cloakroom. It features a high-level flush WC with polished chrome fittings and a wall-mounted wash basin adorned with chrome taps. Natural light is provided by an obscured double-glazed window to the front aspect, while the room is elegantly finished with herringbone luxury rigid vinyl flooring, complementing the home’s contemporary décor.

Dining room

Forming part of the open-plan kitchen and dining area, this inviting space is finished with herringbone luxury rigid vinyl flooring that flows seamlessly throughout. The dining area is tastefully presented, featuring half-height panelling in ‘Woad Walk’ blue, offering a stylish contrast against the neutral décor and adding a sense of character to the room. A double-glazed window to the front aspect allows for ample amounts of natural light, complemented by a radiator beneath. An internal door provides convenient access to the integral garage, enhancing the practicality of the layout.

Kitchen

The kitchen is stylishly appointed, showcasing an elegant range of Sea Foam green base cabinets complemented by brushed brass handles and granite work surfaces with tiled splashbacks. The design combines elegance with practicality, with the worktop extending out to form a breakfast bar, an ideal spot for casual dining or morning coffee. A one-and-a-half ceramic sink and drainer with a brushed brass mixer tap provides a focal point, while integrated appliances include an oven and countertop gas hob. Beneath the work surfaces, there is space and plumbing for both a washing machine and dishwasher, and a tall matching pantry unit offers excellent additional storage. Open shelving with LED downlighting adds a contemporary touch and enhances the room’s ambience. To the rear, a double-glazed window and door allow natural light to flood the space and provide direct access to the rear garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

Living room

Accessed from the dining area, the living room offers a welcoming and well-proportioned space, filled with natural light from a large rear-facing double-glazed window. Beneath, a contemporary cast iron column radiator adds warmth and style. The room’s focal point is a charming period-style cast iron fireplace, beautifully set against a contrasting green feature wall on the chimney breast and finished with a slate hearth, creating an elegant blend of traditional character and modern design.

Bedrooms & Bathroom

From the dining area, a suspended staircase rises to the first-floor landing, where you will find three well-proportioned bedrooms. Bedrooms one and two are both spacious doubles positioned to the rear, each enjoying double-glazed windows with radiators beneath, while bedroom three, a slightly smaller double, benefits from a front aspect with a double-glazed window and radiator below. The bedrooms are served by a recently fitted, modern and tastefully appointed bathroom, fitted with a three-piece suite comprising a bath with electric shower over, mixer tap, and handheld shower attachment, together with a traditional pedestal wash basin set beneath an obscured double-glazed window, and a low-level WC. Additional features include a heated towel rail, partly-tiled walls, and a built-in airing cupboard providing practical storage space.

Garage

The property includes an integral single garage, equipped with power and lighting for convenience. Access is available from the front via an up-and-over door, as well as through an internal courtesy door leading from the dining area, providing practical entry from within the home. The gas-fired boiler is also housed within the garage, making this a versatile and functional space suitable for parking, storage, or utility use.

Rear Garden

The property benefits from a delightfully landscaped rear garden, designed with ease of maintenance and outdoor enjoyment in mind. A series of decked terraces create defined seating and planting areas, bordered by an array of established ferns, palms, and ornamental shrubs, offering a sense of privacy and colour throughout the seasons. The upper decked area provides an ideal space for alfresco dining or relaxation, with ample room for outdoor furniture and potted plants, while a gravel pathway leads through the garden to a timber storage shed and greenhouse, suitable for gardening enthusiasts.
