3 bed detached house for sale

North Rocks Road, Paignton TQ4

Occupying a highly desirable position on North Rocks Road, one of Broadsands’ most sought-after residential addresses, this distinctive three bedroom detached residence presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of considerable architectural significance and future potential. The property is one of only seven original houses constructed as part of the prestigious Broadsands development and was designed in the 1930s by the renowned Swiss-born American modernist architect William Lescaze, whose innovative approach to residential architecture remains highly regarded today.

Set within a peaceful no-through road, the property enjoys a tranquil setting while benefiting from exceptional convenience. Broadsands Beach, with its golden sands and sheltered waters, is within easy walking distance, as is the picturesque South West Coast Path, offering spectacular coastal walks and panoramic sea views. Everyday amenities are readily accessible at nearby Churston Broadway, where residents will find a convenience store, pharmacy, sub-post office and library, together with regular bus services providing easy connections to both Paignton and Brixham town centres.

The house itself is notable for its striking appearance, abundance of natural light and retained original character features. Having been refreshed in recent years and newly carpeted throughout, it provides comfortable accommodation that is ready to enjoy while also offering exciting scope for modernisation and enhancement to suit individual tastes and requirements.

The well-proportioned accommodation is thoughtfully arranged and benefits from a number of double-aspect rooms, creating a bright and airy atmosphere throughout. The welcoming living room flows through a sliding door into a generously sized dining room, making it an ideal space for both family living and entertaining. The fitted kitchen leads directly to a useful garden room, complemented by a ground-floor cloakroom/W.C. To the first floor are three spacious double bedrooms, many enjoying attractive sea and coastal outlooks, together with a family bathroom/WC.

Externally, the property is surrounded by mature gardens which provide a pleasant setting and opportunities for further landscaping. A long private driveway offers ample off-road parking and leads to a detached single garage.

Of particular note is the property's significant development potential. Planning permission was granted in 2007 for substantial ground and first-floor extensions, creating the possibility of transforming the house into a much larger five-bedroom, four-reception-room family home, should additional accommodation be desired (Planning Reference: P/2006/1871).

Combining architectural heritage, a superb coastal location, sea views and exciting future possibilities, this exceptional home represents a rare and highly appealing opportunity in the heart of Broadsands. Internal viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate everything this unique property has to offer.
