Occupying a generous corner plot with attractive gardens, this FINE DETACHED BUNGALOW is enviably set on the fringe of Torquay with driveway and integral garage providing ample parking. The bungalow has been a loved home for our client since new circa 1980, beautifully maintained, although priced to reflect a degree of modernisation which would now be beneficial.

The bungalow stands on the outskirts of Torquay, yet conveniently placed for access to local shops at Barton and the 'village' amenities at St Marychurch where Torquay Golf Club can be found. The pretty Watcombe Cove lies at the base of the wooded hillside by crossing the nearby Teignmouth Road where the South Devon Coastal Footpaths can be joined toward Shaldon and Teignmouth to the north or Torquay and wider Torbay to the South.


EPC Rating: F

OWNER'S INSIGHT

"My wife and I bought the bungalow brand new from Cavanna Homes, and originally we were the last line of properties with the hillside above still greenbelt, historically part of Coker Farm, and we could often hear the owl hooting in an old tree. I have seen quite a few changes over the past forty years, but my love for the bungalow never faultered. Time has caught up with me, and I have made the decision to move closer to family. I am able to sell the bungalow with no onward chain, so ready for new owners to start the next chapter and place their own stamp."

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on May 19, 2023

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
