Description
Set back from the road behind private driveway parking, this attractive MATURE TRRACED HOUSE enjoys a large, level rear garden with a generous store/workshop, ideal for hobbies or storage. The well proportioned accommodation is arranged in a traditional design, offering two reception rooms, a stylish kitchen, three bedrooms, and modern bathroom. The dining room opens directly onto the garden through French doors, creating an excellent connection between inside and out. The generous plot also offers exciting potential to extend to the rear, subject to any necessary permissions, while still retaining a substantial garden.
Ideally situated, the property is just a short stroll from local shops and the nearby King George V Playing Fields, which lead onto Easterfield and the picturesque South West Coast Path, with scenic walks towards Watcombe Beach, Maidencombe and onward to Shaldon. A wider range of amenities can be found in nearby St Marychurch, including its charming pedestrianised shopping precinct and Torquay Golf Club.

OWNER'S INSIGHT
"We have thoroughly enjoyed the past seven years at Coombe Road, and it has been a truly wonderful home for us. When we were searching, it immediately ticked all the boxes, parking, comfortable and practical living space, and a large, level garden that has been a real pleasure to enjoy year round. The location has proved exceptionally convenient, with shops, schools and regular bus services all close by. We also love walking and have particularly appreciated having King George V Playing Fields and Eastefield nearby, connecting to beautiful South West Coast Path walks towards Shaldon in one direction and Torquay and the wider Torbay coastline in the other. The house has served us incredibly well, and while we are now looking to downsize slightly, we very much hope to remain local and close to an area we have loved calling home."
STEP INSIDE
An obscure glazed, leaded light entrance door opens to a welcoming reception hall featuring wood flooring and useful understairs storage. The sitting room enjoys a bay window to the front with fitted window seat, and attractive fireplace with inset electric pebble fire. An obscure glazed door leads through to the dining room, where French doors frame lovely views of the rear garden, and provide direct access, creating an excellent connection between inside and out. The kitchen is fitted with an attractive range of olive green shaker style units and stone effect work surfaces with inset sink. There is provision for a cooker with extractor hood above, washing machine and fridge/freezer, together with wood effect flooring and a picture window overlooking the rear garden.
STEP UPSTAIRS
From the reception hall, stairs rise to the first floor landing with loft access hatch and useful linen cupboard. The accommodation offers three bedrooms, including two generously proportioned doubles, with bedroom one enjoying a front facing aspect and bedroom two benefitting from attractive views over the rear garden. Bedroom three provides a comfortable single room with front aspect, ideal as a child’s bedroom, study or home office. The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising a panelled bath with electric shower over, vanity unit with inset basin and WC, three-quarter tiled walls, heated towel rail and two obscure glazed windows providing natural light and privacy.
STEP OUTSIDE
To the front of the property, a gravelled driveway provides off road parking for two vehicles. A secure, covered side passage which is shared with the neighbouring property gives access to the rear garden, which is a particularly attractive feature of the home. Immediately adjoining the house is a shingled seating area, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, together with an extensive garden store/workshop offering excellent storage or hobby space. Outside water tap. A raised flower and shrub bed subtly divides the main lawned garden, with concrete patio and fully enclosed fenced boundaries, creating a secure and private outdoor environment.
