Elevated three-bedroom detached with conservatory, garage and large garden — ideal for downsizers.
Deceptively large detached home over 1,400 sq ft
Set on an elevated plot in Shiphay, this deceptively large detached home extends to over 1,400 sq ft and suits buyers seeking roomy, single-level living with private outdoor space. The layout places a generous lounge and long kitchen/diner alongside a large conservatory that opens onto well-proportioned gardens — an easy flow for entertaining or relaxed afternoons. Practical extras include a single garage, driveway parking and good broadband and mobile signal, useful for working from home or streaming.
Accommodation comprises three double bedrooms (one with ensuite), a family bathroom with both a sunken spa bath and walk-in shower, plus useful storage in the entrance hall. The conservatory benefits from partial underfloor heating and separate power circuits, so it can be used as a warm sitting area or adapted for other uses. The property is double glazed and gas centrally heated via boiler and radiators.
Buyers should note a flight of steps leads from the driveway to the main entrance, which may affect mobility and accessibility. The house was built in the 1980s and while the construction appears standard (cavity walls, double glazing), some buyers may wish to update fixtures or verify appliance and service conditions. There is no flood risk, tenure is freehold and council tax band is moderate.
Local amenities include countryside views, nearby primary and top-performing grammar schools, and easy access to the wider Torquay area. The guide price is £350,000–£375,000. Interested buyers are advised to verify room sizes, services and legal title during purchase enquiries.
