Forest Road, Torquay, TQ1

Raised from the road this mature bay fronted END TERRACED HOUSE provides deceptively spacious accommodation, enhanced by the current owners over their 20 years of ownership, tastefully fusing many character features with the modern conveniences sought by today’s discerning purchasers. The extended and generously proportioned living space offers two reception rooms complemented by THREE DOUBLE BEDROOMS (one with en-suite facilities) and a sizeable, comprehensively fitted kitchen which opens to the attractive, enclosed and low maintenance garden benefitting from a south & south westerly aspect and enabling the enjoyment of the best of the day’s sunshine. Off road parking for at least two vehicles is a further attribute of this beautiful home.

A parade of local shops at Plainmoor are within close proximity and for more comprehensive amenities both St Marychurch and Torquay's town centre are easily accessible. A selection of schools, public swimming pool and shops are also all within comfortable walking distance, with a regular bus service found at the top of the road.

OWNERS INSIGHT

"We have enjoyed almost 20 very happy years living here in our beautiful home. Somewhere that we have built wonderful memories and has a special place in our hearts. We have found the easy accessibility to local shops and the town centre really convenient and enjoyed many a walk along the scenic Babbacombe Downs, things that we shall miss once we make our move. It is with a heavy heart that we have decided to move, but having recently become grandparents we are now looking to move closer to our family to spend quality time watching our grandson grow up! Whilst it may sound a little cliche , we have been fortunate to have been surrounded by such lovely neighbours and only wish that we could take them with us."
