A one-of-a-kind bungalow, situated in a peaceful cul-de-sac and sharing the road with eight other properties. Located at the top of the road, the bungalow offers wonderful views towards Torwood Gardens and beyond. In order to take advantage of its natural surroundings, this property was designed to a unique specification for its original owner. The result is a house that has a south-westerly aspect providing single-level interior accommodation and ease of access.

This property boasts a versatile single-level design, with shallow steps for convenient access to the drive and patio areas. The accommodation comprises 3/4 double bedrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen, a practical utility room, as well as two sun-filled reception rooms, along with a dedicated dining room. The property has a contemporary bathroom, a separate shower room, and an entrance cloakroom. One of the most prominent features of the property is the sunroom, which opens through 12 foot wide aluminium bi-fold doors onto the spacious front patio with a pergola and rain canopy. The sunroom is sure to be your favourite spot in the house whether you are entertaining guests, reading a fascinating book, or simply relaxing in serenity. To the rear of the property is a more spacious private terrace with feature lighting. This can be accessed either from the dining room's double glazed patio door or from the utility room. There is a new resin-bound driveway in addition to a sizeable garage providing ample off-street parking for five or six vehicles. Our vendor has informed us that the flat roofs of the garage, utility room, entrance hall and sunroom have been recently fitted with fully welded single-ply membrane roofs.

We have been informed by our vendor that the property, located just a stone's throw away from harbour-side amenities, experiences visits from varied wildlife, offering a comfortable balance between tranquillity and convenience. It is situated in a way that provides seclusion, while still being close to desirable attractions. This property is located at the top of Torwood Close, overlooking Torwood Gardens, one of Torquay's oldest public parks. It is known for its spectacular spring blooms, lush palm trees, and historical significance. From the outside spaces of the property, which have been designed to maximize the property's location and orientation, there are delightful views of the town.

Location
Throughout history, Torquay has gained a reputation as a Victorian resort. However, the town has continued to evolve and modernize. A state-of-the-art deep water marina is located in the bustling harbour and is surrounded by pavement cafes, boutique shops, and gourmet restaurants. The nine picturesque beaches of Torquay offer visitors a diverse range of activities throughout the year, including a variety of world-famous yacht races and adrenaline-pumping power boat championships. A mild climate and a wide range of shopping, dining, and educational opportunities make Torquay an ideal place to live. Moreover, the town has convenient access to the mainline railway network, providing connections to London Paddington, and is a mere 40-minute drive from both Exeter and Plymouth.
