Behind the discreet façade of this FINE DETACHED CHALET BUNGALOW lies deceptive living space and attractive gardens with heated leisure pool, Jacuzzi, and outdoor kitchen. Our client’s utilise the property traditionally over two levels, although the versatile design would comfortably provide primary living space all on one level if needed, and two spacious first floor bedrooms as perfect guest rooms.

Marldon Village offers lovely country walks close at hand, a highly regarded Primary School and home to the historic Church House Inn and Old Smokey House pub/restaurants. The property is perfectly positioned for the three coastal towns forming Torbay which boast an array of beautiful safe beaches, promenade walks, and deep water moorings. Totnes is equally accessible being the gateway to the scenic South Hams and beyond to the City of Plymouth, whilst nearby Newton Abbot has a main line rail station and road link to M5 toward Exeter and beyond.

OWNER'S INSIGHT

"When we walked through the door in 2003, we did not anticipate falling in love with the house from the initial appearance. However, it soon became apparent it was one of a kind, bespoke built by a builder who happened to be a neighbour and not a standard 'new estate' home. The size and versatility has simply been exceptional, being a childhood home for our daughter, providing offices for our business, a playground for our friends and family and even a brief period of wheelchair access and downstairs living for one of us. The house was new when we moved in and until recently we never planned to move again - one might say 'one careful owner'. We're only moving now for an exciting new venture of multigenerational living. Marldon has been a lovely village to live in, with two distinctly different pubs, a garage, and local shops within easy walking distance. "
