Description
A very impressive SEMI-DETACHED BUNGALOW situated in a level cul-de-sac in a particularly pleasant location. The bungalow has been considerably improved by the present owner, has gas central heating and comprises hall, sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, dining room and two bedrooms, one en-suite and a family shower room. Outside the gardens are a particular feature of the property, being of good size and enjoying a sunny aspect with a high degree of privacy.
Conveniently placed for several schools including Sherwell Valley Primary School, local shops and Torbay Hospital as well as Cockington Country Park being a short, very pleasant walk away. A viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all this property has to offer.
EPC Rating: D
OWNER INSIGHT
"I am reluctantly putting my bungalow on the market as I have decided to relocate to be nearer my family. The situation of Highland Road, close to Armada Park and local paths into Cockington and the local schools, yet so near the main road and exit to Newton Abbot is ideal, the No.62 bus provides travel to and from the town. I love the level access and comparative privacy of being in the cul-de-sac, with lovely neighbours. The bungalow is flexible with two large bedrooms (and dining room or third bedroom when my granddaughter stays). The property opens itself to the opportunity of extension to the rear and side, as other neighbours have done. The patio and large sunny garden are planted with bulbs and shrubs, with year round colour and are easily maintained. It is a very private, quiet and peaceful garden with a variety of wildlife visitors."
