About this home

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial CHAIN-FREE detached property on Babbacombe Road, Torquay. Offering extensive refurbished accommodation arranged across three floors, this highly versatile home is particularly well suited to larger families, multi-generational households or buyers seeking a property with excellent flexibility and future potential.

The lower ground floor provides an excellent degree of separation from the main accommodation, incorporating a living room, bedroom, bathroom and utility area. This arrangement lends itself particularly well to annexe-style accommodation, providing valuable independent space for relatives, older children or guests.

The ground floor offers an impressive selection of living spaces, including a generous lounge, separate dining room and kitchen, complemented by both bathroom and shower facilities. Further rooms include additional bedroom accommodation, a studio and a particularly spacious office, creating considerable flexibility for home working, hobbies, entertaining or adapting the layout to suit individual requirements.

Continuing to the first floor is further extensive accommodation, with a selection of generously proportioned bedrooms, bathroom facilities and an additional kitchen/dining area. The property's unusual scale and configuration allow different areas of the home to be used independently while remaining part of one substantial residence, making it an especially appealing proposition for multi-generational living.

The property also benefits from a low-cost, eco boiler, helping to provide a practical and economical heating solution for a home of this size. Combined with the versatile layout and extensive accommodation, the property provides buyers with considerable flexibility to tailor the space to their individual requirements.

Outside, the property benefits from a private, low-maintenance garden, providing an attractive outdoor space for relaxing and entertaining without the upkeep associated with more extensive grounds. A substantial driveway and parking area provides off-road parking for approximately seven vehicles, adding excellent practicality for larger or multi-generational households.

Babbacombe Road provides convenient access to the attractions of Babbacombe and Torquay, with the coastline, beaches, local shops, restaurants and everyday amenities all within easy reach. Torquay town centre and the wider surrounding area are also readily accessible.

Combining extensive living space, excellent parking, a manageable garden and considerable versatility, this CHAIN-FREE property represents an exciting opportunity for purchasers seeking a substantial family residence, multi-generational home or a property offering flexible accommodation and future potential.
