This three-bedroom semi-detached house sits on the Shiphay/Chelston border, offering practical family living in a desirable Torquay neighbourhood. The layout includes a spacious living/dining area, fitted kitchen, three bedrooms (two doubles), and a modern family bathroom — all in an average-sized footprint of about 988 sq ft. Off-road parking is provided by a private driveway and a detached garage with front up-and-over door and a rear door to the garden.
The location is a genuine selling point for families: two grammar schools, several primary schools (including a Good-rated Sherwell Valley Primary) and local amenities are within easy reach. Transport links are convenient with nearby bus routes and the Cockington land train; the hospital is also close by. The area is affluent with very low crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Practical considerations are clear and honest. The house dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and walls are cavity construction with no installed insulation (assumed), so buyers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements. The plot is small and there is a single bathroom, which may influence larger families or those seeking more outdoor space. Overall, this freehold property offers a comfortable, well-presented family home with scope to improve efficiency and personalise over time.
