Trumlands Road, Torquay, TQ1

26 Trumlands Road is a particularly attractive 1930s semi-detached home, positioned on one of St Marychurch’s most appealing residential roads, just a short walk from the precinct, local shops and everyday amenities. Full of character, warmth and period detail, the property has been much loved by the current owners for over 20 years and offers a superb balance of traditional charm, practical space and easy day-to-day living.

The approach sets the tone well, with a raised, neatly landscaped gravelled front garden and steps leading up to the entrance porch. Inside, a welcoming reception hallway creates an immediate sense of the home’s character, with stripped original doors, useful understairs storage and a layout that flows well for family life.

The sitting room is a gorgeous, spacious reception room, enjoying a bay window to the front and a feature fireplace that provides an attractive focal point. It is a room with a lovely sense of proportion, offering space to relax while retaining the character and detail expected from a quality 1930s home.

An archway opens into the kitchen/dining room, which is a real highlight of the property. Generous in size and ideal for entertaining, dining and day-to-day family use, this space offers excellent proportions and a natural connection to the garden. The kitchen is modern and well planned, fitted with plenty of storage and worktop space, along with a large breakfast bar peninsula incorporating the hob and oven. There is also an integrated dishwasher, making the space both stylish and practical.

French doors open directly from the dining area to the rear garden, creating a lovely connection between inside and out. The garden has been neatly landscaped for low-maintenance use, with a raised decked area for tables and chairs, a lawned section, gravelled areas and a patio immediately to the rear of the house. It is an easy garden to enjoy, whether for summer dining, children playing or simply relaxing with minimal upkeep.

To the side of the property is a particularly useful utility area, accessible from both the front and rear of the house. This is an excellent practical space for coats, shoes and household storage, while also housing the combi boiler. There is also a neat under-house store, adding further useful storage to the property.

Upstairs, the home continues to offer well-balanced accommodation, with three well-appointed bedrooms. The principal bedroom sits to the front and enjoys a bay window, along with an excellent range of built-in wardrobes. The second bedroom is also a comfortable room with built-in wardrobes, while the third bedroom is a decent single bedroom, home office or nursery.

The first floor is completed by a separate WC and a dual-aspect bathroom, fitted with a large bath, wash basin and heated towel radiator. The dual aspect gives the bathroom good natural light and a pleasant sense of space.

This is a charming period house with plenty of original character, an excellent layout and a highly convenient position close to the heart of St Marychurch. With its attractive 1930s style, strong kerb appeal, well-kept gardens and practical living space, 26 Trumlands Road is a home that should appeal to a wide range of buyers, particularly families, couples and those looking for a character property in a genuinely convenient Torquay location.
