St Marychurch, Torquay

Set behind the discrete dressed stone façade is a deceptively spacious TWO BEDROOM house, forming one of a pair of homes converted from the Bible Christian Ebenezer Chapel circa 1990 and situated on the lower slopes of the established St Marychurch Conservation Area.  The property is an ideal first time buy or rental investment and provides split level accommodation comprising sitting room and dining room with lofty ceiling heights which is complemented with kitchen, bathroom and two double bedrooms. 

St Marychurch precinct, with its village ambiance is within a short saunter providing comprehensive amenities from wide range of shopping, cafes, pubs and eateries to selection of Churches and medical centres. Torquay Golf Club also stands on nearby Petitor Road where the scenic South Devon coastal footpaths can also be joined, meandering through fields and woodland to join picturesque coves and beaches.

SELLERS INSIGHT

"This lovely converted Chapel has been in our family for two generations as an investment property. It's ideally suited for a single professional or professional couple getting on to the property ladder, with great accessibility to the local area. St Marychurch has always been a popular place to live and work, retaining a strong community spirit. We really hope it goes to someone who loves it."
