2 bed semi-detached house to rent

Shetland Close, Torquay TQ2

This semi-detached house is set toward the head of a cul-de-sac, enjoying open views to the rear over the neighbouring park. The living space affords a two bedroom design, with the sitting/dining room flowing through to the conservatory and into the enclosed rear garden. A particular attribute is the tandem driveway parking to the side with gated access to the garden.

Shetland Close is convenient for The Willows shopping district, home to a host of large chain stores including Sainsbury's, Marks & Spencer, Boots and Next. Torbay Hospital is also approximately 1.5 miles away, whilst the South Devon Highway can be joined easily for those commuting out of Torquay towards the regional cities or beyond.
