Ellacombe, Torquay

This CHAIN-FREE Victorian MID TERRACED HOUSE offers well-proportioned accommodation, typical of its era, set behind an attractive dressed stone façade and has recently been subject to a partial program of updating and refurbishment now providing a comfortable home for any new owner to enjoy whilst completing these works to their own taste and style.  The property provides bright living space, with the two interlinked reception rooms and kitchen complimented by TWO BEDROOMS and a contemporary re-fitted bathroom with separate shower.  The rear gardens enjoy a sunny south westerly aspect having been laid to patio and lawn and offer the possible potential to create off-road parking.

A selection of local schools, the community swimming pool and Torquay United football stadium are within comfortable walking distance with parades of shops found nearby in both Reddenhill Road and Plainmoor..

OWNER INSIGHT

"We were immediately attracted to the property due to its convenient location and most importantly its sunny south-westerly facing garden enjoying the sun in the afternoon and evening, an attractive yet low maintenance outside area that could potentially even accommodate parking if required. When we purchased the property it was a bit of a project, but saw the potential that the property offered us. We have carried out a significant amount of updating and improvement work but unfortunately due to a change in circumstances we are no longer able to see our dream completed. With the work already carried out any new owner can comfortably live in the property whilst at the same time injecting their own taste and style. We have enjoyed our time living here, having found the area to be so peaceful and quiet, something that we will definitely miss. We have also been lucky to have such wonderful neighbours and only wish that we could take them with us!"
