Description

This detached bungalow, originating from the 1930s, is nestled in the highly sought-after Ilsham Valley of Torquay, offering a unique investment opportunity. Positioned on an elevated plot surrounded by lush greenery, this property presents significant potential for customization and renovation. The expansive entrance vestibule leads to a generous reception hallway that can accommodate additional living space or a study area, highlighting the property's spaciousness. The bright bay-fronted lounge and the kitchen breakfast room, which connects to a utility area with garden access, provide a solid foundation for modern updates. There are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a principal suite with en suite facilities, along with a family bathroom. This layout presents exciting possibilities for reconfiguration or extension (subject to the necessary planning permissions) to maximize both living space and the benefits of its prime location. Outside, the sweeping driveway offers ample parking and leads to a detached garage. Mature gardens at both the front and rear offer privacy and an opportunity for further landscaping enhancements. Positioned within walking distance of Wellswood Village's amenities and the picturesque beaches nearby, this property is ideal as either a renovation project or a coastal retreat.
