3 bed detached house for sale

Barton, Torquay TQ2

The Mount is an individual reverse-level detached house set in an elevated position in this established residential location on the outskirts of Torquay. Standing within a good size garden, with patio and sloping lawn, the property enjoys open south easterly views to the front over the surrounding rooftops. Offering bright and spacious principal living space, complemented with three bedrooms, a bathroom and separate shower room, the house would benefit from some redecoration but also has the advantage of a large single garage.

The property stands within a matter of a few minutes’ walk to local shops, and the King George V playing fields, which lead on to Easterfield and the picturesque South West Coast Paths toward Watcombe Beach with Maidencombe and Shaldon beyond. Parades of local shops can be found at nearby Fore Street or within the shopping parade of Barton Hill Road. More comprehensive amenities can be found at nearby St Marychurch, with pedestrianised shopping precinct and Torquay Golf Club. A regular bus service can also be found within a short, almost level walk.

Sellers Insight

"I have owned The Mount for approximately 25 years now and it has been a very good rental investment property during that time. In fact the tenants have been so happy there that I have only had two long term tenants during my time of ownership.

I was initially attracted by the the lovely open views and the wonderful potential that it offered, and still does. Stood at the top of the garden, in the sun and looking at the lovely views, I always think that it would be a delightful place to build a summerhouse to relax in and enjoy the English Riviera sunshine.

The location of the house is so very convenient, with a range of local shops just a short walk away in Fore Street, with a more comprehensive shopping parade in Barton Hill Road also just a short stroll away. "
