3 bedroom detached house for sale

Parklands is a DETACHED CHALET BUNGALOW occupying a corner plot within a cul-de-sac location. Affording versatile living space, the accommodation currently provides our clients with the primary rooms to the entrance level, and independent, yet connected first floor living space for a relative, which is equally adaptable as a principal bedroom suite. A particular attribute is the EXTENSIVE PARKING, with the driveway presently providing ample space for two motor homes and additional cars.

The property is conveniently placed for a host of amenities, leisure facilities and selection of highly regarded schools including the popular Torquay Academy and renowned Grammar Schools, Torbay and Mount Stuart Hospitals, Torquay Squash and Leisure Club, and Barton Cricket Club. Local shops at Torre are approx. half a mile distance, with the main town centre and harbourside beyond, whilst The Willows shopping district is equally accessible with chain stores including Marks & Spencer, Sainsburys, Boots and Next.

OWNERS INSIGHT

"Parklands has been our family home now for twenty years, and having seen our children grow up here, it is now time to downsize. The parking has been invaluable, bearing in mind we have two motorhomes and numerous cars when all the family are home, and the flexible layout has enabled our mum to have her own independent living space upstairs with her own personal front door. The location is perfect for anyone wanting to be close to Torquay Academy, Grammar Schools, Mount Stuart Hospital, and Torbay Hospital."
