4 bedroom detached bungalow

A wonderful individual detached chalet bungalow in a tucked-away yet convenient location on the edge of Torquay and The English Riviera.

A gardener's paradise, the property stands on a lovely established plot which extends to just under half an acre in total. Privately enclosed, the gardens lie to both the front and rear with mainly natural green boundaries and including a long expanse of level lawn, extensive colourful planting and a vegetable plot offering a touch of The Good Life. Various terraces are placed to catch the sun all day. Within the garden is a variety of sheds and stores, 2 green houses and a modern timber garden studio with glazed French doors and power connected, currently providing a charming hobbies room.

Approached through a 5-bar gate onto its own long, private driveway which provides ample parking and access to a large attached garage/workshop. Situated in a road which resembles a country lane on the highly-regarded borders of the Shiphay and Edginswell areas of Torquay, the property is within a few minutes' drive of both Torbay Hospital and the A380 South Devon Link Road to Exeter and the M5 beyond. Torquay town centre with its excellent range of amenities is approximately 2.5 miles away, with the picturesque inner harbour, chic marina and Mediterranean-esque coastline a little further.

Accommodation

The accommodation is beautifully-presented and extends to approximately 2200sqft with modern features and offers a degree of versatility. A glazed entrance porch spanning much of the front elevation has a tiled floor and provides a lovely sitting area and space for pot plants. The main reception hall has a Travertine-style tiled floor, recessed cupboard and an oak finish staircase with double-glazed roof light over, providing plenty of light. A cosy, double-aspect lounge with living flame gas fire is accessed from the hall through double oak part-glazed doors and enjoys open views over the front garden and beyond to fields.
Fashionably part open plan, an interconnecting dining room, kitchen and sitting room with vaulted ceiling overlook the side and rear with French doors to the garden at one end and a wood burner at the other. The kitchen is fitted with a selection of gloss, timber-effect cabinets, plenty of work surfaces and appliances to include: 2 fridges, 2 freezers, dishwasher, double-oven and 5 ring gas hob.
