Old Paignton Road, Torquay

A newly installed resin driveway with ample parking creates a smart approach to this beautifully presented four bedroom detached bungalow in the well regarded Livermead area of Torquay. Enjoying lovely sea views and just over 1,500 sq ft of accommodation arranged on one level, the property has been thoughtfully extended to the front and rear, creating generous living spaces with an easy flow and a welcoming sense of light and privacy.

The current owner has lived here since 2008 and has undertaken an extensive programme of improvements, with particular attention given to the practical details that make a home comfortable to live in.

A recently installed composite front door, framed by glazed side panels and a large, custom made, glazed and stainless steel canopy covers the front entrance, protection from inclement weather., creates an attractive entrance. Engineered oak flooring extends from the hallway through the lounge and dining room into the kitchen, bringing warmth and continuity to the main living spaces. A built-in cloaks cupboard in the hallway provides useful storage for coats, shoes and everyday essentials.

The living and dining room is an impressive space, with generous proportions allowing for substantial sofas, occasional furniture and a large dining table. Broad windows and Velux skylights introduce natural light throughout, while the sitting area to the front enjoys a lovely outlook across the bay. At the opposite end, French doors open from the dining area onto the garden terrace, making outdoor dining a natural extension of the room.

The kitchen connects comfortably with the living accommodation through a partly open layout, retaining some separation while allowing those cooking to remain involved in conversation. Ample cupboard storage, extensive work surfaces and a large gas range provide a practical setting for everyday cooking and entertaining.

All four bedrooms can accommodate a double bed, with two positioned towards the front and two overlooking the rear garden. The principal bedroom enjoys a particularly attractive sea view. The two rear bedrooms share a Jack and Jill shower room, offering a convenient arrangement for visiting family or guests, and both benefit from windows and Velux skylights with electric blinds. A separate main bathroom serves the remaining accommodation.

Beyond the extensions, improvements during the current ownership have included rewiring, replumbing, replastering, replacement flooring and renewal of the main roof in 2018. These works, together with the landscaped gardens and more recent improvements, contribute to a carefully maintained home that is ready to move into.

For buyers seeking the ease of living on one level, this home offers generous space to entertain, comfortable accommodation for visiting family and a private garden to enjoy. With extensive improvements already completed, the next owner can settle straight in and make the most of the sea views and the surroundings that make Livermead such an appealing place to live.
