This substantial 1930s detached home on Higher Downs Road sits within mature, well-planted gardens and benefits from a private gated driveway and large garage. The principal rear garden faces south-westerly, and first-floor rooms enjoy open views toward the sea — ideal for someone who values outdoor space and easy coastal access.
Internally the house offers generous, characterful rooms: two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, a bright garden room linking to the garage, and four bedrooms (two with en suites). The layout and size (approx. 2,374 sq ft) suit buyers seeking comfortable living and scope to adapt spaces to changing needs.
Practical points to note: the property dates from the 1930s and shows period character but will benefit from energy and services upgrades — the EPC is rated E (46) and the age and unknown date of glazing suggest improvement potential. Council tax sits at band F, and the area has pockets of deprivation, which may be a consideration for some buyers.
Positive local features include short, level walks to Babbacombe Downs, beaches, and St Marychurch amenities, plus good broadband and excellent mobile signal. The house is offered freehold, with mains gas central heating and straightforward access to transport links for Torquay and beyond.
