Burleigh Road, Shiphay, Torquay

The Approach

The property is approached via a thoughtfully landscaped frontage designed for ease of maintenance. This includes areas of gravel and artificial lawn, complemented by a palm tree and raised timber sleepers which create additional parking space at the front. A long driveway provides further off-road parking for approximately two to three vehicles, while a level section of the front garden adds to the overall practicality and appearance of the approach. To the side of the property, a lean-to double-boarded timber shed offers useful and secure storage. Entry is gained through an obscured double glazed door into a spacious entrance porch, with a further internal double glazed door opening into the main living accommodation.

Living & Dining Room

A generously proportioned open-plan living and dining area, offering a bright and well-presented space ideally suited to both everyday living and entertaining. To the front, a Georgian-style double-glazed window allows plenty of natural light, with a radiator below. The sitting area is centred around an attractive fire surround with an inset living flame gas fire, creating a comfortable focal point. It is further enhanced by three wall light points and two television aerial connections. Open to the dining area, there is ample space for a family dining table, and two additional radiators. The room is finished throughout with matching wood-effect laminate flooring, adding to the sense of continuity and style.

Kitchen

The kitchen is a bright and well-appointed space with a striking decorative tinted glazed roof, finished with a low-E and solar-control coating, which enhances the room with natural light while regulating the room's temperature. Fitted with a range of contemporary soft-close wall and base units, the kitchen is complemented by marble-effect roll-edge work surfaces and matching splashbacks, with the worktop extended to provide a useful breakfast bar seating area. There is an inset Carron Phoenix one-and-a-half bowl sink and drainer with mixer tap. In addition, there is provision for a large freestanding cooker with a gas point, stainless steel splashback and extractor hood above. Additional space is available for a freestanding fridge/freezer, along with under-counter plumbing for a washing machine. Double-glazed windows and patio doors opening to the garden create an especially light and airy feel, while wood-effect laminate flooring and a ceiling light with fan complete the room.

Lounge/bedroom

A valuable addition to the accommodation, this versatile second reception room is currently arranged as a lounge and games room. However, it would lend itself equally well to being used as a guest bedroom, home office or hobby room. The space is finished with matching wood-effect laminate flooring and benefits from a built-in cupboard that houses the consumer unit.

Shower room

Adjoining the second lounge is a modern shower room, attractively appointed with fully tiled walls and flooring. A decorative tinted glazed roof, incorporating a low-E and solar-control coating, allows natural light to filter through while regulating the temperature. The suite comprises a corner shower cubicle fitted with an electric shower. It also comprises a vanity unit with inset wash hand basin and storage below, a low level WC, and a central heating radiator. An obscured double-glazed window to the rear provides additional light and ventilation.

Study/Gym/Office

Leading from the living room, an inner hallway provides access to the staircase rising to the first floor. It includes a useful understairs storage cupboard and a central heating radiator. An internal door opens into a highly versatile room, formerly the garage but now arranged as a gym and home office. Finished with wood-effect laminate flooring, the room also benefits from a built-in cupboard housing the gas boiler and a central heating radiator, making it well suited to a variety of uses.

First Floor Bedrooms & Bathroom

The first floor offers three well-proportioned double bedrooms, all finished with beech-effect laminate flooring. Bedrooms one and three both benefit from fitted furniture, with the principal bedroom featuring a comprehensive range of wardrobes, bedside cabinets and overbed storage. Bedroom three includes fitted wardrobes with matching drawers. Bedrooms one and three also enjoy a pleasant open outlook through Georgian-style UPVC double-glazed windows, with radiators beneath. Bedroom two is another comfortable double room, with a UPVC double-glazed window and radiator below. Serving the first floor is a spacious and contemporary four-piece bathroom, comprising a freestanding soaking bath, walk-in double shower with Gainsborough instant electric shower, vanity unit with wash hand basin and drawers beneath, and a low level WC. The room is finished with large-format ceramic wall tiling, a white enamelled ladder-style heated towel rail, and two obscured double glazed windows.

Occasional Bedroom/Dressing Room

On the second floor is a spacious and adaptable room, currently arranged as a dressing room. It is fitted with hanging rails and shelving on both sides, providing excellent storage capacity. The space could easily serve a variety of purposes, including an occasional bedroom or home office. It is further enhanced by a Velux window allowing for natural light.

A Garden to Enjoy

The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create an attractive and practical outside space. Immediately to the rear of the property is a private patio seating area, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, with steps rising to the main garden. The remainder is laid to level artificial lawn, offering a low-maintenance finish, and is enclosed by walling to provide a good degree of privacy. The garden also benefits from a pleasant sunny aspect and side access leading to the front of the property.
