Torquay, Devon

A loved home for our client’s family member for nearly 80 years, this CHARACTER END OF TERRACE HOUSE occupies a generous corner plot, built in the 1930s and presents spacious accommodation typical of its era. The interior affords a traditional two reception, three bedroom layout which remains unaltered from the original design with great potential for new owners to remodel or extend. Garage parking is an added attraction.

The property stands in an established residential district with no through traffic, and within close proximity to the amenities at Plainmoor and Torquay town, whilst a host of highly regarded local schools are also easily accessible including Torquay Academy.

SELLER'S INSIGHT

"Our elderly aunt had lived at number 12 since the mid-1940s, and it is emotional to think it will soon be changing hands. Our aunt was so proud of her home, and even into her later years always ensured the maintenance was kept up, including a new garage roof and electric door installed. We appreciate new owners will now wish to enhance the old house to their own style, but the building is solid and a perfect blank canvass. The neighbours are lovely and a huge part of our aunt's happiness at Haslam Road, in fact they are so much more than neighbours, they have been wonderful friends. We have no doubt whoever takes over the house will make many happy memories and as much enjoyment as our family"
