Description

This two-bedroom bungalow is situated in a respected residential area of Torquay, elevated to offer expansive views over the rooftops toward the coast. After many years as a cherished home, this property now presents an excellent opportunity for a comprehensive renovation, allowing new owners to shape it to their vision. Located just on the outskirts of Torquay, it is conveniently close to local shops and larger retail options at The Willows. The property is also well-connected, with Torbay Hospital and the South Devon Highway nearby, facilitating easy access to Newton Abbot and Exeter. Inside, you will find an entrance hall leading into a spacious sitting room that boasts double aspect windows framing those stunning coastal views. The kitchen features basic units with wooden worktops and essential appliances such as a built-in oven and gas hob. Both bedrooms are decent in size; the master comes with built-in storage, while the second has its own wash basin. The bungalow also includes a bathroom equipped with essential fixtures and an additional shower room accessed from the kitchen. Although currently occupied by dated fixtures and finishes, this property holds significant potential for modernisation. Outside, there is a modest rear patio bordered by mature trees, providing an opportunity for garden enhancements. Additionally, you'll find a small store room previously used as an office space and a sloping paved garden at the front. A garage within a block adds convenient parking options. With its prime location near the English Riviera's delightful beaches and amenities, this bungalow stands as an inviting project for investors or buyers keen on transforming it into their dream home.
