Detached bungalow for sale in Rocombe Close, Torquay TQ2

This fine detached bungalow is enviably set in a peaceful cul-de-sac on the fringe of Torquay, commanding open views across Torquay stretching from Great Hill, taking in Torquay Golf Course, Eastefield, and around to the sea at Tor Bay. The accommodation has been extended with a tasteful garden room opening to the walled rear garden, with driveway and integral garage providing ample parking. The bungalow has been a loved home for our client’s family since new in the early 1980s, beautifully maintained, although priced to reflect a degree of modernisation which would now be beneficial.

Rocombe Close stands on the outskirts of Torquay yet conveniently placed for access to the 'village' amenities at St Marychurch where Torquay Golf Club can be found. The pretty Watcombe Cove lies at the base of the wooded hillside by crossing the nearby Teignmouth Road where the South Devon Coastal Footpaths can be joined toward Shaldon and Teignmouth to the north or Torquay and wider Torbay to the South.

EPC Rating: D

Seller's Insight

"My parents bought the bungalow brand new from Cavanna Homes in the early 1980s, and would never have moved. There was so much they loved about their home, with my father being an avid gardener, and many hours spent by them both watching the views with the sun rising to front, and setting behind."
