Description

This traditional 1960s SEMI-DETACHED HOUSE has been extended and enhanced by our client over their forty year ownership to present a beautiful family home. Set back behind extensive driveway parking and lawned garden, the living space affords a versatile three reception, five bedroom design flowing into the level rear garden enjoying a generous lawn, decked and patio spaces, and productive vegetable area to the back where a summerhouse provides a sheltered spot to relax.

The property is enviably located within easy reach of a selection of highly regarded schools including Sherwell Valley and Shiphay Primary Schools, and the acclaimed Torquay Boys and Girls Grammar Schools. The picturesque Cockington Country Park is within a couple of miles distance, covering circa 460 acres of woodland, lakes, and meadows. Access onto the A380 and South Devon Expressway for swift access out of Torbay toward the regional cities and beyond.

"I have loved living here these past 40 years, it has been a great place to live and raise my children. The main benefits, apart from the large level rear garden, have been the close proximity of both schools and shops, within a nice neighbourhood.
