The property with impressive wide arched entrance porch was purchased new in 1999 by the present owners who have kept their home to the highest standard throughout and have designed and planted the most delightful gardens with sweeping lawn, pretty summerhouse and colourful shrubs and plants.
Whilst the location is very quiet and established, the sea front and harbourside with its shops and waterside restaurants are within a pleasant saunter. There are local shops a few hundred meters away in Roundhill Road, Livermead, with several shops including a post office, offering unrestricted parking. Torquay Rail Station is a short distance away and just one stop from the main line station of Newton Abbot with direct links to most major cities. There are excellent schools in Torbay and in particular the very local school in Livermead and Preston Primary School in Old Paignton Road.
A rare chance to purchase one of the most characterful recently built homes in this pleasant residential area.
