On the first floor, there are three bedrooms, two of which are comfortable doubles, all served by a well-proportioned family bathroom.
The property is ideally located within the sought-after residential area of Shiphay, well placed for a number of highly regarded schools including the Grammar Schools, Shiphay Learning Academy and Sherwell Valley Primary School, while Torbay Hospital is also close at hand.

The Approach
Set well back from the road, the property is introduced by a substantial driveway offering ample off-road parking, alongside a generous front garden primarily laid to lawn and enclosed by mature hedging for privacy and an appealing kerb presence. The main entrance is accessed via an obscured double-glazed door, opening into a spacious and inviting reception hall finished with wood-effect laminate flooring. A staircase rises to the first floor, and there is ample understairs storage space for excellent everyday practicality. Beyond, the hallway extends through to the kitchen, creating a natural sense of flow across the ground floor well suited to modern family life.
Reception Rooms
A particular feature of the property is the excellent range of reception spaces arranged across the ground floor, providing a versatile layout well suited to both family living and entertaining. Positioned to the front and accessed directly from the reception hall, the dining room is a generously proportioned bay-fronted room with ample space for a large family dining table. Finished with wood-effect laminate flooring, this room flows through to a further reception area, currently used as a second sitting room. From here, twin glazed doors open onto the principal living area located within the rear extension. Forming part of an open-plan arrangement with the kitchen, this impressive main living space enjoys a bright and airy feel, enhanced by direct access to the garden and tubular skylights that draw in natural light.
Kitchen
The kitchen is fitted with a range of matching wall and base units, complemented by work surfaces over. A composite one-and-a-half bowl sink with drainer is positioned beneath a double-glazed window overlooking the rear garden, providing a pleasant outlook. There is space for a range-style cooker with a large coordinating extractor hood above, while further provision is made beneath the worktop for a washing machine, in addition to an integrated dishwasher. Enhancing practicality, a breakfast bar extends neatly around the corner to form an informal dining area, accompanied by additional matching cabinetry and a recessed space to accommodate a large freestanding fridge/freezer.
Ground Floor Bedroom & Dressing Room
Forming part of the side extension added by the current owners, this section of the property provides a versatile ground floor bedroom together with a separate dressing room, offering flexibility to suit a variety of requirements. The bedroom itself is a double room positioned at the front of the property, with a double-glazed window providing natural light. Twin glazed wooden-framed doors open through to the adjoining dressing room, which is fitted with built-in full-height wardrobes on one wall, complete with hanging space and shelving. The dressing room also enjoys direct access to the garden via a double-glazed door, further enhancing its practicality and adaptability.
Shower Room
Serving the ground floor, the shower room is fitted with a tiled shower cubicle incorporating a mains-fed shower. It also has a vanity unit with a wash basin and useful storage below. A low-level WC is positioned beneath an obscured double-glazed window, while tiled flooring completes the room.
First Floor Bedrooms & Bathroom
The first-floor landing is bright and spacious, enhanced by a double-glazed window to the side aspect. A hatch also provides access to the loft space. The principal bedroom is a generously-sized double room, enjoying the added character and outlook of a walk-in double-glazed bay window. Bedroom two is another well-proportioned double, positioned to the rear with a double-glazed window overlooking the garden. The third bedroom offers flexible accommodation as a large single or small double room and benefits from a double-glazed window to the front. Serving the first floor, the family bathroom is fitted with a bath incorporating a mains-fed rainfall shower and separate handheld attachment. In addition, there is a vanity unit topped with a large washbasin and complemented by a range of cupboards and drawers beneath, providing useful storage. A low-level WC is set beneath an obscured double glazed rear window, while tiled walls complete the room with a smart and practical finish.
Rear Garden
The rear garden can be accessed from both the principal living area and the adjoining dressing room. Enclosed by a combination of fencing and mature planting, the garden enjoys a sense of privacy. It offers an inviting setting for family life and outdoor enjoyment. Designed for ease of upkeep, it is mainly laid to lawn, providing ample space for children to play or for prospective owners to further enhance to their own taste. To the far end, a decked seating area offers an ideal spot for al fresco dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing. A side pathway leads conveniently to the dressing room entrance, adding further practicality to the overall arrangement.
