Description

This two-bedroom bungalow presents a promising opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors. Set in a desirable residential area, the property boasts elevated views that extend towards the coast, creating a serene environment ripe for transformation. While it has served as a cherished home for many years, it is now in need of extensive refurbishment to restore its former glory. Conveniently located on the outskirts of Torquay, residents will enjoy proximity to local shops along Barton Hill Road and further amenities at The Willows. The property is well-connected via the South Devon Highway and is within easy reach of Torbay Hospital and major transport links to Newton Abbot and Exeter. Inside, the layout includes an entrance hall leading to a spacious sitting room with picturesque views. The kitchen remains functional but dated, requiring modernisation to meet contemporary standards. Each bedroom offers ample space, though upgrades will enhance comfort and utility. The bathroom and shower room are basic and would benefit from complete overhauls. Outside, the rear patio and sloping front garden offer potential for landscaping improvements or expansion. A garage with parking adds to the practicality of this property. Given its structural integrity but need for updates throughout, this bungalow is a canvas for those looking to invest in a renovation project that promises both lifestyle appeal and potential value growth in the future.
