Ilsham Crescent

Orchard End is a beautifully positioned detached bungalow set within mature wraparound gardens in one of Torquay’s most desirable residential locations, close to Wellswood Village, Meadfoot Beach and the South West Coast Path. Occupying a peaceful setting within Ilsham Valley, the property offers a rare combination of privacy, generous lateral accommodation and beautifully established outside space.

Designed for practical single-storey living, the layout flows well with the living accommodation arranged to one side of the home and the bedrooms to the other, making it ideal for a wide range of buyers.

A useful entrance vestibule opens into the main hallway, from which the reception space immediately stands out for its excellent natural light and lovely garden outlook. The sitting room is a particularly generous space with large picture windows and a wide opening through to the formal dining room, creating an easy connection between the two rooms and a layout that works well for both everyday living and entertaining.

The kitchen/breakfast room overlooks the rear garden and sun terrace and is fitted with an extensive range of units incorporating integrated appliances, along with space for a large freestanding fridge and a breakfast table. Positioned just off the kitchen is a separate utility room with space and plumbing for laundry appliances, rear garden access, and a further shower room with WC.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged quietly away from the main living space. The principal bedroom enjoys a lovely dual aspect with views over the surrounding gardens and benefits from built-in wardrobes. Bedroom two is another comfortable double room with fitted wardrobes and a pleasant rear outlook, while bedroom three is currently arranged as a dressing room. There is also a useful study/office room at the front of the house, overlooking the stunning front garden, which could also be utilised as an extra guest bedroom if needed. The main bathroom is well proportioned and fitted with a bath and shower over.

Outside, the property is approached via a private driveway with lawned gardens and mature hedging to either side, creating an attractive first impression and a good degree of privacy. The gardens wrap around the house and have been carefully planted with a wide variety of established shrubs, perennials and specimen trees, giving colour and structure throughout the year. There is a terrace to the front of the house and a further paved seating area to the rear, positioned off the kitchen and ideal for outside dining. Beyond, the garden continues to a greenhouse, further seating area and a raised section bordered by mature evergreens.

A large double garage provides secure parking and excellent storage, with a workshop area to the rear, inspection pit and concealed secure storage, while the long driveway allows for ample off-road parking and turning. There is also a useful outbuilding for garden equipment.
