3 bed detached bungalow for sale

Haldon Road, Torquay TQ1

Occupying a generous and secluded plot within the highly regarded Lincombes district of Torquay, aymar presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached family bungalow with a remarkable history having remained within the same family ownership since its construction in 1934.

Originally built for the current owner's great uncle the property has been cherished by successive generations of the same family for over ninety years. Homes with such a longstanding connection to one family are increasingly uncommon and offer buyers the opportunity to create the next chapter in the story of a truly special home.

The property enjoys an attractive position set back within its mature gardens with established boundaries creating a high degree of privacy and seclusion. The traditional rendered elevations and distinctive roofline provide excellent kerb appeal, while the generous plot offers significant outdoor space rarely found in such a convenient location.

The accommodation is both versatile and surprisingly spacious, arranged predominantly across the ground floor. A welcoming entrance porch opens into a generous reception hallway creating an immediate sense of space and serving as the central hub of the home.

The principal sitting room is a particularly attractive room, featuring a broad curved bay window overlooking the gardens fitted display shelving and a fireplace which creates a natural focal point. The proportions throughout the property reflect the quality of homes built during this era with excellent ceiling heights and large windows allowing natural light to flood the accommodation.

The kitchen provides a practical working space with a range of fitted units, ample storage and direct access to the outside. Three bedrooms are located on the ground floor offering flexibility for family living, guest accommodation or home working requirements. A family bathroom and separate cloakroom/WC serve the ground floor accommodation.

A staircase rises from the reception hall to a substantial first floor bedroom. This versatile space would lend itself equally well as a principal bedroom suite, guest accommodation, hobbies room or home office and benefits from useful eaves storage.

While the property would benefit from a programme of updating and modernisation, it offers tremendous scope for a purchaser to personalise and enhance a home of genuine character and substance. The layout, room proportions and plot size provide excellent foundations for future improvement.

Externally, the gardens are a standout feature. Predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by mature planting, they provide a wonderful sense of privacy and space. Established shrubs, flowering borders and specimen planting create an attractive backdrop throughout the seasons while the generous lawn offers plenty of space for children, pets or keen gardeners.

A driveway provides off road parking and leads to the garage, while additional useful ancillary space includes a store room and separate garden room, ideal for storage, hobbies or workshop use.

Aymar represents a rare chance to acquire a substantial home on one of Torquay's most desirable residential roads, combining character, history, generous accommodation and a wonderful plot in a location that continues to be highly sought after.
