This extended four-bedroom semi-detached home on Exe Hill offers practical family living in Shiphay, Torquay. The rear open-plan lounge/diner creates a bright social heart with vaulted ceiling and wide patio doors that bring light into the living space. A ground-floor bedroom with ensuite adds flexibility for guests or multi-generational living, while three first-floor bedrooms suit children or a home office.
Outside, a substantial paved driveway and a detached garage provide reliable off-street parking — a notable asset in town locations. The small front lawn and hedging give a degree of privacy; the overall plot is decent for a suburban home though garden space is modest. The exterior appears well maintained and the property is freehold with no flood risk.
Practical considerations: the house is compact at around 882 sq ft, so room sizes are average rather than generous. The immediate neighbourhood is classified as a comfortable area but the wider locality scores as more deprived, which may influence resale in certain markets. Local schooling includes strong grammar options nearby but one nearby primary is rated 'requires improvement'. Council tax is described as affordable and broadband and mobile signal are good.
This property suits a family seeking a low-maintenance, well-located home with good parking and flexible accommodation. It also offers sensible potential for modest modernisation where desired, rather than a full refurbishment project.
