A beautiful garden enjoying a southerly aspect is just one feature
of this deceptively spacious DETACHED CHALET BUNGALOW. The
principal living space is arranged to the ground floor whilst a
converted first floor bedroom, shower room and study/dressing room
provide additional versatile accommodation perfect for guests,
teenage hideaway or home office space.
Hide Away stands in a desirable residential district on the
outskirts of Torquay benefitting from easy access to the
neighbouring town of Newton Abbot with main line rail station and
A380 leading towards the city of Exeter and the M5. Local shops at
Barton are within comfortable walking distance and the Willows
shopping district is also within a few miles distance being home to
a host of chain stores including Marks and Spencer, Sainsburyn++s,
Next and Boots to name a few.
An early internal viewing is highly recommended by our firm and is
essential to fully appreciate the size and standard of this quality
home.
