3 Bedroom Detached House

Quote DB0925 - CHAIN FREE - OFFERS INVITED - Located in the desirable residential area of Shiphay, Torquay, this three-bedroom semi-detached property represents a rare and exciting opportunity for those looking to undertake a rewarding refurbishment project. Occupying a larger-than-average plot, this home is the perfect "blank canvas," offering significant scope for a creative buyer to extend, modernise, and create a high-specification family residence tailored to their own taste.  

The property immediately impresses with its outdoor space. To the front, a large lawned garden sets the house back from the road. The current layout, featuring both stepped and sloping pathways, lends itself perfectly to a driveway conversion, which would provide valuable off-road parking (subject to planning and Torbay Council’s consent for a dropped kerb).

Upon entry, a set of double doors leads into a practical porch

before opening into the main hallway. The ground floor layout is traditional and spacious, beginning with a dining room at the front, which features a classic bay window that draws in an abundance of natural light. To the rear, the main living room provides a quiet space overlooking the garden. The kitchen is currently equipped with a sink and drainer with space for all essential appliances, and leads through to a standout feature of the home: a large, versatile store room with its own WC. This space offers immediate "value-add" potential, as it could easily be converted into a fourth bedroom, a utility room, or a dedicated home office (subject to the usual planning consents).

The first floor continues the theme of space and potential. The landing, featuring a side-aspect window and loft access, leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a particularly impressive double, boasting a matching bay window to the front. The second bedroom is another genuine double overlooking the rear garden, while the third bedroom is surprisingly generous for this style of property, avoiding the usual "box room" feel. The family bathroom currently houses a full suite and an airing cupboard with an immersion tank.

Externally, the rear garden is a fantastic size, comprising both patio and lawn areas. For the green-fingered, there are existing sheds and a greenhouse, but the true value lies in the sheer volume of space available for a substantial side or rear extension without sacrificing the garden’s appeal. This is a property with a huge future, located just moments from local schools and amenities
