3 bed terraced bungalow for sale

Cumber Drive, Brixham TQ5

Description

A contemporary three-bedroom terraced bungalow, beautifully presented and set within a highly sought-after and peaceful location. This impressive home is a true credit to the current owners, who have undertaken an extensive programme of improvements with a clear emphasis on quality and modern living.

The property has been recladded in 2025 with the addition of Celotex insulation, significantly enhancing both its external appearance and thermal efficiency. Energy performance is further supported by a Mitsubishi air source heat pump providing instant heating and air conditioning, together with triple glazing to the front elevation and double glazing to the rear. Internally, the home benefits from new carpets throughout with thick underlay over solid concrete floors, creating a comfortable and durable finish.

Security and convenience have also been thoughtfully addressed, with a comprehensive CCTV system offering continuous recording to a 1TB hard drive, complemented by a video doorbell for additional peace of mind.

The location is equally appealing, with a short and reasonably level walk leading to the local shops on Pillar Avenue - including a supermarket, newsagent, diy store, hairdresser and The Trawler Pub - while Cambridge Road provides a sub-Post Office and Premier store. For those who enjoy the outdoors, a wealth of scenic coastal walks can be found within a mile, including Battery Gardens, Furzeham Park and The Breakwater.

The Approach

The property is approached via a recently installed driveway (2025), laid with commercial-grade non-slip concrete pavers, chosen for both their durability and smart appearance. A soakaway has been incorporated beneath the driveway, providing effective and sustainable drainage. Prior to the new driveway being laid, an upgraded water main supply pipe was installed, replacing the original pipework to ensure a reliable supply and prevent future issues. To the side, a thoughtfully designed pathway, also finished with matching pavers, offers step-free access with a gentle gradient. Stainless steel balustrading on all sides enhances safety and ensures suitability for wheelchair users and those with reduced mobility. In addition, there is the option of stepped access directly from the driveway.

Frontage And Patio Area

The frontage of the property has been thoughtfully landscaped and finished throughout with the same high-quality commercial-grade non-slip concrete pavers, ensuring both durability and ease of maintenance. From the driveway and pathway, access is given to an attractive front patio area, ideal for relaxing and entertaining. A premium Hydropool five-person hot tub, complete with self-cleaning system and uv filtration, is positioned here and is included in the sale. Practical and secure features further enhance this space, including security lighting throughout both the driveway and pathway, and a composite fence and gate enclosing the front patio. Within this area is a purpose-built, lockable catio, providing a safe outdoor environment for house pets, which is also included in the sale. A durable composite shed offers additional storage and is likewise included. Finally, access to the property itself is provided via a uPVC triple-glazed entrance door.

Living Room

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a spacious and well-presented living room. This inviting space is laid with thick carpet and underlay over solid concrete flooring, creating both comfort and durability. The room enjoys generous proportions, providing versatility for a range of furnishings and layout options to suit individual requirements.

Bedroom Three

The third bedroom is situated at the front of the property and is currently arranged as an occasional guest room and snug. This single bedroom is enhanced by a triple-glazed obscured window to the front elevation, offering both natural light and privacy.

Kitchen

Recently fitted by First Interiors, the kitchen presents a sleek and contemporary design. It incorporates a modern range of white gloss wall and base units complemented by shelving and a stylish marble-effect countertop. This is finished with matching aquaboard splashback and enhanced by under-counter lighting. The kitchen is equipped with extensive storage solutions, including pull-out shelves and baskets to ensure ease of access. A composite sink and drainer is paired with a flexible hose tap offering instant boiling, filtered and sparkling water on demand. Cooking facilities include an eye-level double oven, comprising both a conventional and microwave oven, plus an integrated Siemens fridge/freezer and a dishwasher included in the sale. Natural light is drawn in through an electronically operated, solar-powered triple-glazed Velux window, equipped with rain detection technology to close automatically. The space is completed with a luxury vinyl tile floor.

High-Specification Shower Room

Installed at the end of 2024, the shower room is yet another example of the quality and attention to detail found throughout this home. Finished to a high standard, the walls are finished with durable aquaboard, complimented by water-resistant luxury vinyl tile flooring. The suite includes a generous walk-in double shower enclosure fitted with handrails and a fold-down seat for enhanced accessibility. A wall-mounted vanity unit with drawer storage and integrated wash basin sits beneath a mirrored cabinet. The WC is accompanied by drop-down support rails to either side, further improving ease of use for those with reduced mobility. A bespoke utility cabinet has been incorporated to house the washing machine, with additional cupboards above and below providing valuable storage. Natural light is drawn in through a triple-glazed Velux window, which is electronically operated with solar-powered controls, complete with rain detection technology to close automatically.

Bedroom One

The principal bedroom is positioned at the rear of the property and enjoys pleasant views over the garden. This well-proportioned double bedroom features an integrated wardrobe and is finished with high-quality carpet and thick underlay, creating a comfortable and refined feel. A set of near-full-height, full-width double-glazed windows and door open directly onto the rear garden, allowing an abundance of natural light while providing seamless indoor-outdoor access.

Bedroom Two

Located at the rear of the property, the second bedroom is a generously sized double, currently used by the vendor for storage. A rear-facing double-glazed window provides a pleasant outlook over the garden, while the room itself is laid with quality carpet and underlay for added comfort. The air source heat pump system is positioned within this room; however, it could be enclosed to achieve a more streamlined appearance whilst retaining full functionality.

Rear Garden

The rear garden is fully enclosed by timber fencing and enjoys an easterly aspect, allowing for morning and early afternoon sunlight. Finished with paved areas, it offers a low-maintenance outdoor space ideal for relaxation or practical use. A substantial and secure catio with lockable gate is included, providing a safe environment for house pets to enjoy the outdoors. With no property directly to the rear, the garden benefits from an enhanced sense of privacy.
