"Located in the extremely sought after Ilsham Marie Drive area of Torquay, Bishops Close lies just yards from access to the stunning cliff top South Devon coastal footpath and offers miles of beautiful marine walks in this peaceful location.
This particular DETACHED HOUSE is designed in reverse level to take advantage of the open views over Ilsham Valley and enjoys a level garden to the rear accessed from the bedroom level. A considerable amount of money has recently been spent on solid stone paving with marine quality stainless steel balustrading to the entrance driveway and huge rear sun terrace and rear balcony.
The integral garage has potential for a fourth bedroom if required as this leads directly off the entrance hallway being next to an existing useful cloakroom that could serve this bedroom quite easily. Good local schools in Wellswood come into this catchment area and the harbour and town centre are only a quarter house journey away. A detached home with great potential in a delightful and peaceful location, well worth an early inspection.
