Large four-bed family home with gated parking and sunny south-westerly garden..
Four double bedrooms across multiple storeys
Set in one of Torquay’s oldest neighbourhoods, this detached four-bedroom home blends period character with modern upgrades. The house sits behind a private gated driveway and wide frontage, offering secure off-street parking and an immediately usable south-westerly garden that basks in afternoon sun.
Internally the property is presented in excellent condition with mains gas central heating, double glazing and fibre-to-the-premises internet ready for high-speed connections. The layout across multiple storeys provides flexible living and roughly 2,701 sq ft of accommodation — attractive for families needing space or professionals working from home.
Practical considerations are straightforward: freehold tenure, no flood risk and convenient, step-free access from the drive. Local schools include several ‘Good’ and two grammar schools rated in the top 10%, while beaches, coastal paths and Torquay’s amenities are all close by.
Be candid: the home dates from the late 1960s/1970s and external cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so buyers should factor potential wall insulation or energy-efficiency improvements into plans. The area records higher-than-average crime levels, which makes the gated driveway a meaningful benefit but may concern some purchasers. Council tax is band D (moderate).
