3 bed detached bungalow for sale

St Marychurch, Torquay TQ1

Standing on the upper reach of the popular Bradley Park Road, close to the heart of St Marychurch, this detached dormer bungalow sits on an almost level plot benefitting from driveway parking, an attached tandem double garage and set within mature gardens. The bungalow offers well-proportioned accommodation, arranged over two levels, reconfigured to now provide two separate reception rooms complimented by three double bedrooms and a shower room as well as bathroom. To the rear there is a private southerly facing garden providing a lovely, enclosed area for both gardening and sunbathing.

The property is enviably positioned a short saunter to the vibrant pedestrianised shopping precinct boasting a wide selection of independent traders and the national chain stores of Co-op and Sainsbury's. A few minutes walk further is the picturesque Babbacombe Downs, where the renowned funicular railway takes passengers between the shingle beach of Oddicombe, linking to the neighbouring Babbacombe Beach with fishing pier and Cary Arms boutique hotel, spa and restaurant.

Sellers Insight

"This bungalow was lovingly cared for by my Grandfather who took great pride in the house. He was always in the garden planting flowers in the spring, trimming hedges with care, and making sure the lawn was just right. There’s a peacefulness here and a sense of warmth as you walk through the door.

The bungalow has a calm, welcoming feel, perfect for someone looking to slow down a little, enjoy the outdoors, and still be part of a friendly community.
He spent a lot of his time with his partner at St Marychurch which is just a 5 minute walk, enjoying the quaint shops and cafes with the friendly locals and strolling along admiring the views at Babbacombe Downs.

Letting go of this home isn’t easy, but I know it’s ready for a new chapter. I hope the next owner finds as much joy and peace here as my grandfather did."
