3 bed semi-detached bungalow for sale

Manor Drive, Kingskerswell TQ12

A three-bedroom semi-detached bungalow, occupying a level position at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly sought after village of Kingskerswell.

The village also benefits from regular bus services to Torquay and Newton Abbot, both of which provide a wider range of shopping, leisure and transport links, including the A380 for onward travel and mainline rail services to London Paddington.

Owners Insight

"I moved into Manor Drive with my dog, Buster, three years ago and have really enjoyed living here. The neighbours are friendly, and the road is peaceful and quiet.

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to update the property since purchasing it, and i’ve now decided it’s time to look for a smaller bungalow or apartment."
