This semi‑detached bungalow with rear dormer offers flexible three‑to‑four bedroom accommodation ideal for families seeking proximity to good schools and local amenities. The layout delivers a bay‑windowed lounge, a versatile dining/bedroom, and two double bedrooms upstairs with distant countryside views — practical living with scope to personalise.
Outside, the property benefits from a large driveway with space for several cars or a caravan, a single garage, and an enclosed rear garden with lawn and side access. Practical upgrades are already in place: double glazing (post‑2002), mains gas boiler with radiators, and spray foam loft insulation for improved energy efficiency.
Buyers should note the home is compact (approx. 723 sq ft) and shows mid‑20th century fittings that will suit those prepared to modernise. There is a single bathroom and separate WC; the staircase to the dormer creates a multi‑story layout that may not suit mobility‑restricted purchasers. The area has low crime and excellent mobile/broadband connectivity but sits within a more deprived wider area classification.
Vacant possession and freehold tenure make the house straightforward to acquire and adapt. For a family wanting proximity to Torquay Boys’ and Girls’ Grammar schools, Sherwell Valley and local facilities, this bungalow presents clear value — especially for buyers looking to add value through updating and reconfiguration.
