Summary - 8 CORNACRE CLOSE TORQUAY TQ2 6JY
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Large garden, workshop and parking; close to top local schools.
Detached four-bedroom house plus one-bedroom self-contained annexe
Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this detached four-bedroom home includes a self-contained one-bedroom annexe — ideal for multi-generational living or rental income. The main house offers a well-equipped kitchen/dining room with utility, a comfortable sitting room with a multi-fuel stove, and three double bedrooms. The annexe has its own entrance, open-plan living/kitchen, double bedroom and shower room, and benefits from an official Certificate of Completion for the 2002 conversion.
Outdoor space is a strong selling point: a large, tiered garden with patio, lawn, decking and greenhouse/potting shed provides privacy and wide suburban views. Off-street parking accommodates three to four vehicles — or a caravan/motorhome/boat — and a roller-door workshop with power offers useful hobby or storage space. Local amenities, good broadband and excellent mobile signal make the house practical for modern family life.
Location supports family buyers: well-regarded primary and grammar schools are within easy reach, and Torquay’s coast and transport links are close enough for commuting or leisure. The property was constructed in the late 1970s/early 1980s and has gas central heating and double glazing.
Important considerations: the EPC rating is D (67) and walls show only partial cavity insulation (assumed), so energy improvements may be worthwhile. The approach is stepped, which may affect accessibility, and the house reflects its age so buyers should budget for routine updating rather than a fully modern finish. Overall, the layout and annexe flexibility present clear potential for families seeking space, rental return or multi-generational arrangements.
