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.

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."

Breakfast room with picture window overlooking the rear garden, solid wood fronted units to either alcove which match the kitchen and working surfaces. Open archway to the kitchen, fitted with a range of oak fronted units and work surfaces with sink unit. Provisions for electric cooker and undercounter fridge and integrated dishwasher (not tested). Window overlooking the rear garden and door to a side lobby with tiled floor, obscure glazed door giving access to the side elevation and personal door to the garage.
