This substantial DETACHED FAMILY HOUSE stands in a prominent position on the southern slopes of Great Hill overlooking Torbay and with a fine sweeping panoramic vista of the town and sea beyond. Built by Messrs Cavanna in the 1970's, the spacious accommodation is very bright and sunny. With a sizeable almost level garden extending to three sides of the property, this is a well maintained home enjoying sunshine from morning to evening due to its orientation.

Well placed for local shops in Barton Hill Road and with a bus service close by, The Willows shopping centre and St Marychurch shopping precinct for more comprehensive facilities are just a short drive away. Good local schools are within easy travelling distance and the South Devon Highway or the A379 provide links for those commuting out of town.

OWNERS INSIGHT

"For many years we have enjoyed living in Watcombe Park with it's excellent tree lined roads, friendly community and access to the local shops. What we didn't have were the stunning views from our former home, so we decided to move up to our current address in Swedwell Road that adds this in abundance. Having outgrown our previous home it was great to have so much more space, however now we realise that a 4 bedroom house is possibly a little larger than we need so have decided to move on, downsize and start a new chapter in our lives. We shall miss looking at the wide ever changing skyline and the views across the Bay, particularly on a summer's evening with a glass of wine. Wishing the new occupants all the pleasure we have had from this lovely house."
