Detached 1920s dormer bungalow with period features and modern updates
This attractive 1920s detached dormer bungalow blends period character with modern fittings and generous outdoor space, well suited to family life. The ground floor offers a bay-fronted living room, separate dining room and a beautifully fitted kitchen opening to a large, well-established rear garden — ideal for children, entertaining and gardening. Practical features include a wide brick-paved driveway with parking for several vehicles, gated side access and FTTP broadband.
Upstairs the dormer level provides two good double bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and painted beams; a third double bedroom and a compact fourth room on the ground floor work well as a study or nursery. The contemporary ground-floor bathroom includes a separate shower, double-ended bath and underfloor heating. The house retains original features such as picture rails and timber doors while benefitting from tasteful modern finishes and integrated kitchen appliances.
Notable positives include the large plot, strong local schools nearby, straightforward access to Torbay Hospital and proximity to town and seafront. It is freehold, has no listed or conservation restrictions, low local crime and no flood risk — practical comforts for long-term occupants. Council Tax band is moderate (D) and mains gas central heating is installed.
Buyers should note the EPC rating is E and, as with many houses of this age, further modernisation or targeted improvements could add value; any extension potential would be subject to planning and building-control consents. The fourth room is small and the upstairs rooms have sloped ceilings, which may affect furniture layouts. Overall this is a well-presented family home that is move-in ready yet offers scope for adaptation to suit changing needs.
