Torbay, Quainton, Buckinghamshire.

DESCRIPTION
Torbay is a small close built in the 1960s located at the bottom of the very pretty village green and number 6 is in perfectly decent order and neutrally decorated, ready for someone to move straight in to.
The double glazed diamond pane composite door opens into a good size hall with the staircase hidden off to the left and a very useful coats and boots cupboard adjacent. The flooring is a quality wood laminate board and that continues through a third of the sitting room and the entire dining room and kitchen. Said sitting room is a lovely bright room with sliding patio doors and a window and in the recess is a built in solid timber bookshelf. The dining room is quite long and that then leads to the kitchen, which is fully fitted with beech effect units and granite style worktops. Integrated are a fridge and freezer, a Hotpoint oven and Hotpoint hob (induction we believe). Space and plumbing is provided for a dishwasher or washing machine. In the utility room is a worktop and below that more appliance space, most likely the spot for the washing machine and next door to it a tumble dryer. The shower room is smartly finished and has a large understairs closet. At the side of the house with a door from the utility room is the old garage. I use the term old garage because it now has a personal door at the front although a garage door proper could be reinstated. The garage has a concrete floor, power, lighting, and half of the walls and all of the ceiling have a plyboard lining rendering it suitable for a gym or such and with a degree of work further accommodation. Beyond is another great room, primarily the boiler room but of sufficient dimensions to be a workshop.
On the first floor are three bedrooms, the smallest with a double wardrobe and shelves over the bulkhead. Once again the bathroom is attractively presented, a white suite of wc, wash basin atop a vanity unit, and a bath that has a Triton power shower. The loft is partially boarded, a low pitch but fine for storage.

OUTSIDE
The frontage has been given to parking so now has gravel standing for up to 4 vehicles.

The rear garden is extremely private enjoying a southerly aspect. It is mainly Indian sandstone paving and there is a patch of grass and a small ornamental pond. Mature shrubs and a couple of trees line the boundary.

A gate in the corner serves as access to a little enclosed green behind the garden.
