Constructed by local builders of repute, Cavanna Homes, and standing in a peaceful cul de sac with generous parking and southerly facing garden, this SEMI DETACHED BUNGALOW has been a much loved home for our clients for over twenty years. The living space affords a traditional two double bedroom design and has been extended with the addition of a conservatory and front porch. An enclosed, almost level garden is found to the rear, with lawn and patio, and the bungalow has a garage which is now utilised as a store and workshop.
The property stands on the outskirts of Torquay within an established residential district just a short saunter to local shops at Barton Hill Road, whilst more comprehensive amenities including a host of national chain stores can be found a little further at The Willows. Torbay Hospital is approximately 2 miles distance, close to the South Devon Highway linking Torbay to Newton Abbot with its main line rail station and the regional city of Exeter beyond.
EPC Rating B OWNER INSIGHT
"In 2004, when we were looking to move, we decided that we wanted to find our forever home and knowing Torquay well we felt that Watcombe Park offered us exactly what we needed. Finding a bungalow in a quiet select close was ideal for us and with ample driveway parking it has accommodated our family parking and caravan adequately. The location has provided us with lots of wonderful benefits, two separate parades of local shops easily accessible, both on Moor Lane and Barton Hill Road, a good local bus service close by and access to lovely walks through Brunel Woods or to nearby Watcombe Beach and the lovey South Devon coast path. We have enjoyed over 20 very happy years living here but now, due to health reasons, feel that the time is right to make another move, but we will certainly be looking to stay in the immediate area. I know that it is a little clich , but we have such wonderful neighbours here we only wish that we could take them with us!"
