Description

Set within the highly sought-after residential area of The Willows, Torquay, this well-presented three-bedroom semi-detached family home is offered to the market with vacant possession and no onward chain, an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers and landlords alike.

Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac and occupying a desirable corner plot, the property enjoys a surprisingly generous amount of outside space. The rear garden is larger than expected while remaining relatively low maintenance, making it ideal for families, entertaining, or simply enjoying the extra room outdoors.

To the front, there is driveway parking for two vehicles leading to the garage, providing both convenience and additional storage potential.

Inside, the accommodation is thoughtfully arranged. The ground floor comprises a cloakroom, a fitted kitchen, and a good-sized living room with direct access to the garden. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, each with integrated wardrobes. The principal bedroom is complemented by its own en-suite, while a family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

The location is a real highlight, set in the heart of The Willows and close to a wide range of amenities, as well as being in close proximity to highly regarded grammar schools. Nearby is Wren Retail Park, home to Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury's, Boots, Next and many other well-known stores. The property also benefits from excellent transport links, with convenient access to the ring road linking Newton Abbot, Exeter and beyond. Torbay Hospital and strong transport links are also easily accessible.

An internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the setting, space and appeal of this chain-free home.

The Approach

Accessed from Puffin Close, the property presents an appealing frontage with a tarmac driveway providing off-road parking and leading directly to the garage. Utility meters are positioned to the side. From the driveway, steps rise through the front garden to the UPVC double-glazed front door, sheltered by a storm canopy. On entry, you are welcomed into the entrance hallway, where engineered wood flooring continues seamlessly through to the kitchen and cloakroom/WC. The hallway also benefits from a wall-mounted thermostat, a central heating radiator, and the staircase to the first-floor accommodation.

Kitchen

The kitchen is fitted with a range of co-ordinated wall and base units, complemented by square-edged work surfaces and a tiled splashback. A double-glazed window to the front aspect provides natural light and sits above a one-and-a-half bowl stainless steel sink with drainer. Integrated appliances include an electric oven with a four-ring inset gas hob and extractor hood over, together with an integrated fridge/freezer and washing machine. There is also under-counter space and plumbing for a dishwasher, and the Worcester boiler is neatly hidden within the matching cabinetry for a clean, streamlined finish. The gas boiler has been serviced annually.

Cloakroom

Positioned conveniently off the entrance hallway, the cloakroom is finished with half-height tiled walls and benefits from an obscured double-glazed window to the front aspect, allowing in natural light while maintaining privacy. The suite comprises a low-level WC and pedestal wash basin, complemented by a central heating radiator.

Light-Filled Living Space

A bright and generously proportioned living space, featuring double-glazed windows and French doors opening directly onto the rear garden, allowing plenty of natural light throughout the day. Finished with carpeted flooring, the room offers ample space to accommodate both comfortable lounge seating and a dining table, making it ideal for everyday family life and entertaining. A useful under-stairs storage cupboard provides additional practicality.

Bedroom & Bathroom Suites

The principal bedroom is a well-proportioned double with a double-glazed window and radiator beneath. A built-in wardrobe provides hanging and shelving space, and the room is further enhanced by a three-piece en-suite with fully tiled walls, a corner shower cubicle with electric shower, pedestal wash basin, and low-level WC. An obscured double-glazed window provides natural light and privacy, with a radiator below.

Bedroom two is another comfortable double, located to the rear, with a double-glazed window, central heating radiator, and fitted wardrobes offering useful storage.

Bedroom three, also to the rear, is a single room ideal as a child’s bedroom, home office, or guest room. It features a double-glazed window, radiator, and a built-in single wardrobe.

Completing the floor is the family bathroom, fitted with a three-piece suite comprising a bath with shower over, pedestal wash basin, and low-level WC, alongside a central heating radiator and part-tiled walls.

OUTSIDE

The property enjoys a well-enclosed rear garden that has been thoughtfully arranged over several levels, creating distinct areas that are both practical and easy to maintain.

Immediately to the rear of the house is a paved patio/terrace, providing an ideal space for outdoor seating and barbecues. From here there is also pedestrian access into the garage, adding useful convenience for storage and day-to-day use.

Steps then rise to the upper sections, which are predominantly gravelled with space for pots, planters and planting pockets, and include a designated position for a rotary washing line.

The tiered layout is supported by attractive timber retaining walling, finished in vertical treated timber “palisade/log-roll” style cladding, with additional timber fencing around the boundaries, helping to define each level while providing privacy and a cohesive, well-structured feel.

To the front, there is driveway parking leading to the garage, offering off-road parking.
