Occupying a favoured position within a popular residential district, this period semi-detached house offers generously proportioned accommodation, with lofty ceilings and a wealth of character features reflecting its era, not least the elegant turned staircase and original panelled doors found throughout. Outside, the fully enclosed rear garden is arranged over two attractive tiers, offering a safe and private space well suited to families and pet owners alike. The current owners have carried out a comprehensive renovation throughout, leaving the property in beautifully presented order.
The property sits within easy reach of the shops at Plainmoor, whilst St Marychurch and Babbacombe lie a little further afield, home to the much loved funicular railway which carries visitors down to the shingle beaches at Oddicombe and Babbacombe. Torquay town centre is similarly within easy reach, and a public swimming pool, well regarded local schools and frequent bus services can all be found within walking distance.
Owners Insight
"What we’ve loved most about this house is the way the light moves through it during the day. The kitchen is bright and airy in the mornings, with the patio doors opening onto the garden, while the evening sun reaches the sitting room and primary bedroom, catching the porch and hallway and highlighting the original coving and guest-room fireplace.
The back garden is a real sun trap, while the low-maintenance, coastal-inspired front garden is easy to look after.
The layout is ideal for hosting, with the dining room opening onto the garden in summer and the log burner making the lounge a cosy winter retreat. The utility and downstairs shower room are incredibly practical for muddy boots, dogs and sandy feet after a beach walk. It’s also a quiet road, and the walk-in wardrobe has proved genuinely useful for keeping clothes and shoes neatly out of sight."
