DESCRIPTION High View is a commanding DETACHED PERIOD RESIDENCE set in a peaceful cul-dec-sac location and offering well-proportioned accommodation with three reception rooms and four good size double bedrooms and retaining many character features, typical of its era, including sizeable rooms with lofty ceiling heights and original panelled doors, yet fused with a selection of the modern comforts and conveniences now sought of a home of this nature. The property has been extended with a large conservatory enabling owners to enjoy the attractive enclosed gardens which enjoy a sunny south easterly aspect and are predominantly paved to minimise maintenance, with a selection of mature shrubs and trees providing soft landscaping and colour. An attached triple garage, additional parking and utility room, as well as some lovely views toward the sea at Torbay also compliment this delightful family home.

Valley View Close is conveniently placed for a host of amenities, leisure facilities and selection of highly regarded schools, Torbay and Mount Stuart Hospitals, Torquay Squash Club, and Barton Cricket Club. Local shops at Torre are a reasonable saunter, with the main town centre and harbourside beyond, whilst The Willows shopping district is equally accessible where chain stores including Marks & Spencer, Sainsburys, Boots and Next can be found. 

SELLERS INSIGHT "Highview has been our home for nearly twenty years. It has been a happy time; we were initially attracted by the welcoming feel the house gives as soon as you walk into the hall, the feeling of spaciousness and no arguments about who gets which room as they are all large with great views! The addition of the conservatory has really added to this feel and means that the house is both a perfect social and a family home - be it from cosy meals in the kitchen, to large indoor-outdoor parties in the summer. We are sorry to leave the house, but hope the next residents will be as happy as we have been."
