2 bed semi-detached bungalow for sale

Higher Warberry Road, Torquay TQ1

Braeside is a charming and highly individual coach house style property, positioned on the lower slopes of the Warberries and offering a rare combination of character, practicality and ease of ownership. Extensively renovated and upgraded throughout, the property now presents as a beautifully maintained home with a neutral finish, generous proportions and a layout designed around low-maintenance living.

The accommodation is arranged predominantly on one level, making it particularly appealing for buyers seeking the convenience of apartment-style living while retaining the independence and individuality of a freehold home. Its split-level design adds interest and personality, with the main living space enjoying excellent ceiling height, natural light and a comfortable flow between the principal rooms.

A welcoming dining hall creates an impressive first impression, enhanced by a large roof lantern that brings light into the heart of the home. This space works brilliantly as a formal dining area, entrance hall and central reception space, connecting neatly with the kitchen, sitting room and bedroom accommodation.

The kitchen has been stylishly refitted with a clean, contemporary finish and provides excellent storage, generous worktop space and a breakfast bar area. It opens naturally into the dining hall, creating a sociable everyday layout while still allowing definition between the cooking, dining and sitting areas.

Steps rise from the dining hall to a spacious sitting room, a superb reception space with attractive proportions, wood flooring, a feature fireplace and a pleasant outlook to the front. The room feels relaxed yet generous, offering ample space for both seating and occasional furniture, making it ideal for quiet evenings, entertaining or use as a principal living room.

There are two bedrooms, including a particularly generous principal bedroom with fitted storage and space for additional furniture. The second bedroom would work well as a guest room, home office or hobby space, depending on the buyer’s needs. The shower room has been updated in a simple, stylish finish and includes a walk-in shower enclosure, WC, wash hand basin and heated towel radiator.

A further strength of Braeside is the excellent practical storage space beneath the property. This is a notable advantage in this part of Torquay, particularly for buyers looking for a lock-up-and-leave home without compromising on useful outside and storage provision

Braeside will suit a wide range of buyers, from downsizers wanting something manageable but distinctive, to those looking for a second home in one of Torquay’s most desirable areas. It offers character without the burden of high-maintenance grounds, a renovated interior ready to enjoy and a sought-after position close to Wellswood, the harbour, coastal walks and everyday amenities.

Agent’s Note: We are advised that part of the property has a flying freehold due to the configuration of the building. Buyers should seek clarification through their legal representative.

EPC Rating: D
