Detached mid-20th-century bungalow on a large private plot
This detached mid-20th-century bungalow sits in a large plot just a short walk from Torbay Hospital and The Willows shopping district — an attractive, convenient location for downsizers or those seeking multi-generational living. The main house offers bright living rooms, two bedrooms plus a versatile loft room, and double doors opening from the dining room to a private, low-maintenance rear garden. A generous driveway and garage provide parking for several vehicles.
A key strength is the one-bedroom annexe with its own front door, kitchen, sitting room and shower room — ideal for a dependent relative, visiting family, or as a rental income stream. The property is presented well throughout and benefits from double glazing and underhouse storage, making day-to-day living straightforward while allowing immediate occupation.
Buyers should note some practical issues: the home’s construction era and records indicate cavity walls without insulation and glazing fitted before 2002, so energy performance could be improved; the EPC is D (67). Heating details vary in the paperwork (gas central heating stated in the brochure, other data lists electric storage heaters) — prospective purchasers should verify the installed system. Council Tax Band E and an above-average local crime statistic are factual considerations for budgeting and security planning.
Overall this is a flexible, well-located property offering private outdoor space, strong parking provision and a self-contained annexe. It will appeal to those looking to downsize without losing living space, or buyers seeking a rental/hosted-income opportunity in the Torquay area.
