Description

This detached property presents a robust opportunity for renovation and investment in a desirable Torquay location. The exterior features a functional garage with an electric door, providing convenient vehicle access. Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious hallway leading to a generously sized lounge, enriched by its bay window that allows for abundant natural light. Adjacent, a study is accessible through French doors, presenting potential for use as a home office or reading nook. The dining room also benefits from a bay window with expansive views, increasing the appeal for hosting gatherings. The kitchen is equipped with fundamental wall and base units and includes an integrated electric hob and oven, but may require modernisation to enhance its functionality. It provides adequate space for essential appliances such as a fridge/freezer and washing machine, offering scope for improvement. Upstairs houses three good-sized bedrooms that are bright and airy, alongside a shower room fitted with basic amenities including a shower, bidet, and WC—this area could be updated to meet contemporary standards. Additionally, the separate WC adds practicality. The outdoor space features a patio area complemented by mature shrubs, which could be revitalised to create an inviting garden retreat. Although the property boasts double glazing and gas central heating, there is ample opportunity to increase value through thoughtful upgrades throughout the home. Located within close proximity to local amenities and recreational areas, this property is well-positioned for both family living and potential investment returns.
