Summary - 1 SOUTHFIELD AVENUE PRESTON PAIGNTON TQ3 1LJ
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Large detached home on level approach to Paignton seafront with double garage and generous gardens.
Short level walk to Paignton seafront and high street amenities
Set on a large plot in Preston, this detached three-bedroom home (with an office that works as a fourth bedroom) sits on the level and is a short walk from Paignton seafront and the high street. The house shows plenty of period character — a large feature fireplace with log burner, generous reception rooms, a sun room and a summer house in the rear garden. Practical benefits include a wide gravelled driveway, electric roller doors to the double garage and scope for further parking behind a gated side area.
The layout is spacious throughout with a sizeable entrance hall, living room, dining room/bedroom four and a kitchen/breakfast room plus utility. The property has double glazing (fitted post-2002), cavity walls and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. It is offered chain-free, on freehold tenure, and presents good potential for light updating or reconfiguration to suit a growing family or buyers seeking easy single-level access in a retirement-friendly neighbourhood.
Buyers should note there is one main bathroom with a separate WC, and the house dates from the 1950s–1960s which means some elements may benefit from modernisation. Council tax is above average. The area is classified as an ageing/communal retirement environment, so while the location is convenient for schools and transport links, prospective buyers should consider local demographic trends.
Content features include fast broadband, low local crime and no flood risk. For commuters, the new South Devon Highway gives straightforward access to the A380 and Exeter. This property will appeal to downsizers wanting level access to seafront amenities, families wanting space near good primary schools, or buyers seeking a character home with room to adapt.
