2 bed detached bungalow for sale

Barton Road, Torquay TQ1

Description

Offered with no onward chain, this detached two bedroom bungalow in Torquay provides generous and practical accommodation arranged across one level. A central feature of the home is the well-proportioned living/dining room, complemented by a separate kitchen and a flexible reception hall which lends itself well to being used as a formal dining area. There are two comfortable double bedrooms, a modern shower room and a useful cloakroom. Outside, the property enjoys generous gardens both at the front and rear. These gardens, though currently overgrown, present an excellent opportunity for a keen gardener to shape and design. The bungalow further benefits from ample driveway parking for several vehicles, a garage, and roof-mounted solar panels contributing to improved energy efficiency and reduced running costs.

Enjoying a particularly convenient position, Barton Road places residents within easy reach of an excellent range of amenities.

Entrance

From the driveway, which provides off-road parking for approximately two to three vehicles, a double glazed PVC entrance door to the side of the property opens onto a useful porch. Here, a wall-mounted keypad controls the fitted alarm system, with an internal door providing access to the reception hall. Alternative access to the bungalow can be gained directly into the living room via an obscured double glazed entrance door or through a sliding patio door.

Reception Rooms

At the front of the property is a well-proportioned living and dining room, enjoying an excellent level of natural light courtesy of full-height double glazed windows, one incorporating a sliding patio door giving access to the front patio and garden, with a further obscured double glazed door providing an additional entrance. This versatile reception space offers ample room for lounge furniture and a dining table. It is complemented by two central heating radiators and a feature fireplace, creating an attractive focal point. The adjoining reception hall, which connects the living room and kitchen, lends itself well to use as a dedicated dining room. It provides a generous space to accommodate a dining table and chairs and benefits from a near-full-height double-glazed window to the side aspect, further enhancing natural light.

Kitchen

The property features a contemporary fitted kitchen, comprising a range of matching wall and base units with roll-edge work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. The countertop extends to create an accessible breakfast bar area with seating space beneath. The gas boiler is neatly housed within coordinating wall-mounted cabinetry, maintaining clean lines and a modern feel. A wide double glazed window to the side elevation provides good natural light, with a stainless steel sink and drainer positioned below. There is space and plumbing for a washing machine under the counter, together with space for a freestanding fridge/freezer. Cooking facilities include an integrated oven with a countertop gas hob above, set beneath an extractor hood.

Bedrooms, Shower Room & Cloakroom

The bungalow offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both situated to the rear of the property and each featuring large double-glazed windows with central heating radiators beneath. The accommodation is served by a modern shower room and a separate cloakroom. The shower room is fitted with a contemporary suite comprising a walk-in shower with a mains-fed rainfall shower and separate handheld attachment, together with a wall-mounted grab rail and fold-down mobility seat, enclosed by tiled walls. In addition, there is a vanity unit with wash basin and storage beneath, complimented by a wall-mounted mirrored cabinet above. A low level WC is positioned beneath an obscured double-glazed window. A heated towel rail and built-in airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder complete the room. Adjacent to the shower room is a separate WC, finished to the same standard. It features a low level WC beneath an obscured double-glazed window, along with a central heating radiator.

Garage

The property benefits from a single garage, accessed from the driveway via a remote-controlled roller door. The garage offers a good level of storage or, alternatively, additional secure parking if required, and is equipped with both power and lighting.

Outside

To the front of the property, and adjoining the driveway, is a good-sized garden enjoying a pleasant, sunny aspect and providing a high degree of privacy. While now in need of some attention to restore, it offers excellent scope for landscaping and the creation of an attractive frontage. Pathways to both sides of the bungalow provide access to the rear garden, which again requires some cultivation but affords generous outside space with a similarly sunny outlook. The rear garden currently incorporates a timber shed and a greenhouse, offering useful storage and gardening potential.
