Screened from the road behind a gated driveway and generous parking area Togs Lodge is a sizeable, modern FIVE BEDROOM DETACHED FAMILY HOME situated on the edge of the scenic Cockington Valley on the periphery of Torquay. Built in 1999 the property provides well-proportioned accommodation with a versatile layout, ideally suiting the large family or even those looking to accommodate the extended family. A particular feature is the beautifully landscaped garden which is laid to lawn and patio with water feature and pond, which are complimented by a swimming pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen and summer house. The property would now benefit from a degree of cosmetic enhancement although offers great potential as an individual quality home in a highly regarded setting. Opposite the property are the rolling fields leading down to the stunning Cockington valley and Country Park, covering circa 460 acres of lakes, meadows and woodland.
