Description

Situated in the desirable Ilsham Valley of Torquay, this traditional 1930s detached bungalow presents a unique opportunity for those looking to create a personalized home. While retaining its classic charm, the property offers considerable renovation potential to tailor it to modern tastes. The entrance vestibule leads into a spacious reception hallway, ideal for reconfiguration to enhance living or dining areas. The bright bay-fronted lounge and kitchen breakfast room provide a solid foundation for updating, while three double bedrooms—including a principal suite with en suite shower—offer flexible living arrangements. With a full family bathroom included, the layout allows for various redesign options or possible extensions (subject to local consents). Outside, the property boasts ample parking with a sweeping driveway and a detached garage, alongside mature gardens that could be transformed into an inviting outdoor space. A short walk from Wellswood Village and nearby beaches, this bungalow serves as both an ideal renovation project and a potential family coastal retreat.
