4 bed property for sale

Barton, Torquay TQ2

Set in a generous plot behind a sweeping gated driveway, this spacious detached chalet bungalow presents great potential for an annexe above the linked garage which could provide exceptional space for a dependent relative or home office. A sizeable southerly facing paved terrace runs almost the full width to the front of the property with ample gated parking beyond and an enclosed rear garden which enjoys a good deal of privacy has been designed to provide a relaxing and sheltered seating area whilst minimizing maintenance.

The property is conveniently placed for picturesque walks being set in the lee of Brunel Woodland, whilst crossing the nearby Teignmouth Road you join the wooded hillside leading down to the sheltered Watcombe Cove where the south west coast paths leads north toward Maidencombe and Shaldon, or south toward St Marychurch, Meadfoot, and Torquay harbour. Local shops at Moor Lane, Watcombe Primary School, and the specialist educational schools of Mayfield and Coombe Pafford are all within a short saunter, whilst the more comprehensive amenities can be found a short car journey at St Marychurch or The Willows.
