4 bed detached house for sale

Moor Lane Close, Torquay TQ2

This detached house is set toward the head of a cul-de-sac on the periphery of Torquay, enjoying open views to the rear toward Brunel Woodland and Eastefield. The living space affords a traditional four bedroom design, with the principal room and conservatory flowing into the pleasant rear garden. The house is aptly named with a maturing Mimosa tree in the front garden, and driveway parking sloping down to the garage.

The house stands on the outskirts of Torquay, yet conveniently placed for access to local shops at both Barton and Moor Lane, with the wider 'village' amenities at St Marychurch approximately one and a half mile away 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: D

Seller's Insight

"My late father and his partner bought the house over nine years ago and was a very happy home for them. They loved the position set toward the head of the cul-de-sac, and particularly enjoyed their garden.

Now they have both gone, and with none of our family Torquay based, it's time for new owners to take over Mimosa. It has been a little emotional clearing the house, but now it is a blank canvass for someone to put their own designs and style into."
