4 bed detached house for sale

Helens Mead Road, Torquay TQ2

New to the market, Sojenna Lodge is a particularly complete and versatile four bedroom extended dormer bungalow, occupying a generous corner plot with private wrap around gardens, excellent parking and a sunny south facing rear aspect.

The property has been a much loved home for the current owners for many years and offers the sort of accommodation that will appeal to a wide range of buyers. Two double bedrooms and a shower room are positioned on the ground floor, with two further double bedrooms and an additional shower room upstairs, making the layout equally suitable for families, visiting guests or buyers looking for predominantly ground floor living without compromising on overall space.

A bright entrance vestibule opens into an impressively spacious reception hallway, with a useful linen cupboard and access to the principal ground floor rooms.

The sitting room is one of the standout spaces within the home. Generous in size, it features a large picture window which provides plenty of natural light, an attractive feature fireplace and beautiful wood flooring.

The kitchen and dining area has been updated more recently and creates a sociable everyday living space. The kitchen is fitted with an attractive range of units and incorporates Neff ovens, while the open dining area enjoys a direct connection with the south facing rear garden. A separate utility area provides valuable additional storage and practicality.

Also on the ground floor are two similarly sized double bedrooms, both offering excellent proportions and served by an updated shower room.

The first floor provides two further double bedrooms. The principal room is particularly generous and includes fitted wardrobes, while the second bedroom also offers comfortable double proportions. A further shower room serves this level and there is excellent additional storage within the eaves.

Sojenna Lodge combines generous accommodation with a particularly practical layout, while its established corner plot provides a level of privacy and outside space which is increasingly difficult to find.

Location

Sojenna Lodge occupies a convenient residential position on Helens Mead Road within the TQ2 8PD postcode area, on the northern side of Torquay.

One of the strongest aspects of the location is its everyday convenience. There are local amenities within walking distance and several bus stops positioned around Helens Mead Road and the neighbouring roads, making the property particularly suitable for buyers who do not wish to rely entirely on a car. The TQ2 8PD postcode is served by stops around Padacre Road, Swedwell Road, Moor Lane Close and Barchington Avenue.

Torbay Hospital is within easy reach and is a particularly significant benefit for anyone working at the hospital or wanting convenient access to its facilities. The hospital is positioned off Newton Road and is served by a number of local public transport options.

The property is also well placed for a good choice of larger supermarkets and retail facilities. Sainsbury's is located on Nicholson Road, while Asda is positioned on Newton Road, both providing convenient options for larger weekly shops.

Families are well catered for educationally. Watcombe Primary School is located on Moor Lane and is one of the nearest primary schools to Helens Mead Road, while Torquay's well regarded selective secondary options include Torquay Boys' Grammar School and Torquay Girls' Grammar School in nearby Shiphay.

For commuters, the position is particularly useful for reaching Newton Road and the main routes towards Newton Abbot and the A380, while Torre railway station is approximately 3km from the postcode.

Despite being positioned conveniently for Torquay's main road network, Sojenna Lodge retains the feel of an established residential neighbourhood. The current owners have particularly valued the friendly local community, neighbours and the ability to access shops and public transport easily.

For buyers wanting to remain within Torquay while avoiding the busier central areas, it offers a strong balance of privacy, space and accessibility.

Garden

The outside space is a major feature of Sojenna Lodge and wraps around the property, making excellent use of its corner position and allowing different parts of the garden to enjoy the sun throughout the day.

A gated arched entrance leads onto a large block paved driveway providing generous off road parking. To the front is a useful brick built store with power, together with an attractive landscaped garden incorporating a small pond and water feature.

One of the most appealing features at the front of the property is the covered seating area beneath established wisteria, creating a lovely sheltered spot for sitting outside.

The rear garden enjoys a particularly desirable south facing aspect and a high degree of privacy. It has been arranged to remain relatively easy to maintain, with a large patio providing ample space for outdoor furniture, barbecues and sunbathing.

Raised planters provide additional planting areas without creating excessive upkeep, while a substantial brick boundary wall clearly defines the garden and contributes to the private and enclosed feel.

There is also a useful brick built summer house/store and gated access to both sides of the property, offering additional security and practicality.

A good sized garage provides excellent headroom together with power and lighting.
