Exe Hill, Shiphay, Torquay

New to the market and offered with no onward chain, Exe Hill is a particularly substantial and highly individual family home, rarely found within this popular Shiphay setting. Originally a semi-detached house, the property has been significantly extended to create a much larger and more versatile home, ideal for modern family living.

The location is a real strength. Perfectly placed for commuters, the property offers excellent access to Newton Abbot, Exeter and the A380 ring road, while remaining conveniently positioned for Torbay Hospital, well-regarded primary and secondary schools, and the Torquay grammar schools. Out-of-town shopping facilities are close at hand, yet Torquay town centre and the seafront are only a short drive away.

The accommodation begins with a spacious reception hallway, setting the tone for the generous proportions found throughout the ground floor. The main living room is well sized and incorporates useful under-stairs storage, flowing seamlessly into a sunken dining area which creates a distinct yet connected entertaining space. From here, double doors open directly onto the rear garden, allowing excellent natural light and a strong indoor-outdoor connection.

The kitchen breakfast room is a standout feature, offering extensive worktop space, a range cooker and ample room for appliances, making it ideal for busy family life. This space also provides internal access to the integral garage, fitted with a roller door, and to a highly practical utility room which houses the boiler, has space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and gives direct access to the rear garden.

Outside, the rear garden is a real asset. Double-width and enjoying a sunny aspect, it has been designed with families in mind, featuring generous lawned areas alongside an alfresco dining space, perfect for summer use. High fencing around the perimeter ensures a good degree of privacy.

Upstairs, the property offers five well-appointed bedrooms The principal suite is an excellent size, complete with extensive built-in wardrobes and a modern, stylish en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is particularly impressive, dual-aspect and generous in proportion. There are two further double bedrooms, a large single fifth bedroom, and a well-placed airing cupboard on the landing.

The main family shower room is finished to a high standard, featuring a drencher-style shower, bespoke sink unit and designer towel radiators. The entire first floor has been fully redecorated, with wood-panel internal doors, neutral white décor and contemporary grey carpeting throughout, presenting the home in excellent condition.

Recently renovated and tidied prior to marketing, this is a turnkey property ready for immediate occupation. Given its size, condition and location, Exe Hill represents an increasingly rare opportunity within Shiphay.
