Sunbury Hill, Torquay,

This delightful period home boasts a wealth of character and charm, including solid wood doors, high ceilings, bay window, one working fireplace and further feature fireplaces and original coving. This wonderful home has much to offer. The current owners have enjoyed this spacious home for over 40 years, to whom it is a credit. They have enjoyed raising their family in this beautiful property, with well maintained and private gardens, whilst being close to the town centre and all that the bay has to offer.

On approaching the property, the original Victorian door takes you into the entrance porch, providing a useful space for coats and shoes, which in turn leads to the entrance hallway. The entrance hall is a good size with stairs up to the first floor, original banister and balustrade, doors to the principal rooms and useful under stairs storage space. The living room is spacious and boasts high ceilings, original coving, and a feature fireplace with a large feature bay window overlooking the garden, creating a wonderful space to relax.

There is a ground floor bedroom/reception room offering a flexible space and has the benefit of an en-suite shower room (which can also be accessed from the garden room). The kitchen breakfast room is another generous space perfect for the cooking enthusiast and family gatherings. There is ample space for cooking and dining with the kitchen area having matching range of wall and base level units, breakfast bar and space for appliances. A door from the dining area leads into a large utility/garden room, with door to the en-suite shower room and a further door out onto the garden.

Stairs lead to the first floor with a split level landing and a loft hatch providing access to the roof space. The owners have advised us that the loft has good head height, and subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents, could create additional accommodation.

Upstairs there are four wonderful bedrooms (two large doubles, a small double and a nursery size room/study). The main bedroom enjoys an attractive view over Lymington Park and a built-in cupboard. The recently fitted family bathroom has a low level WC, pedestal wash hand basin and panelled bath with shower over.

The garden is a real pleasure, and again is credit to the current vendors, who over the years have designed and planted beautiful flowers, shrubs, bushes and fruit trees, creating interesting spaces to enjoy, eat, entertain and relax. There are areas laid to lawn with a magnolia and a wonderful apple tree framing the front of the house, the garden also has the benefit of garden sheds. A raised area of garden can be found beyond the parking area, which the current vendor has used as an area for his bees, however this could be used to create a raised patio or hidden garden.

The property offers off road parking, and due to the location being tucked away the property benefits from good unrestricted on street parking

The Agents recommend an early internal inspection, to fully appreciate this substantial, tucked away family home.

Agents Note: The vendors have a documented, feasibility study for planning permission to build a garage/car-port behind the present off-road parking space, and also an additional off-road hard-standing to the front of the property.
