New to the market is this beautifully presented and substantially extended four bedroom semi detached family home, occupying a highly convenient position close to Torbay Hospital, the highly regarded Grammar Schools, local amenities, and excellent transport links. Lovingly maintained and improved over the years, the property offers an impressive amount of accommodation arranged across three floors, perfectly suited to modern family living.
On approach, the property immediately creates a welcoming first impression with a driveway providing off road parking for up to four vehicles, a valuable feature in such a convenient residential location.
The accommodation begins with a spacious reception hallway, a characterful entrance setting the tone for the rest of the home. To the front is an elegant bay fronted sitting room enjoying elevated open views across the surrounding area whilst the feature fireplace creates a focal point.
To the rear of the property is a separate dining room, ideal for entertaining family and friends with double doors opening directly onto the garden allowing the indoor and outdoor spaces to flow seamlessly together.
Undoubtedly one of the standout features of the home is the impressive kitchen breakfast room. Extended to create a sociable and practical family hub, this generous space offers extensive worktop and storage facilities, breakfast bar seating, ample room for dining and direct access onto the garden. A separate utility room keeps everyday appliances tucked away, whilst a downstairs cloakroom/WC adds further practicality. Beyond this is a useful storeroom and workshop, ideal for hobbies, additional storage or those working from home.
The first floor comprises three well proportioned bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom featuring both a bath and separate shower enclosure.
Occupying the entire second floor is the principal bedroom suite, creating a peaceful retreat away from the rest of the home. This generous room benefits from built in storage, open outlooks and a modern en suite shower room/WC.
The overall layout offers exceptional flexibility for growing families, those requiring home office space, or buyers seeking a home with room to adapt to changing needs over time.
The rear garden enjoys a highly desirable southerly aspect, making it a wonderful space to enjoy throughout the day. Immediately adjoining the property is a paved patio area, perfect for outdoor dining, summer barbecues and entertaining guests. Steps rise to a generous lawned garden offering plenty of space for children to play or keen gardeners to enjoy.
The garden is enclosed and enjoys a good degree of privacy, whilst a raised vegetable plot, composting area and substantial timber workshop with power and lighting further enhance the appeal for buyers looking for practical outside space.
