Situated in a popular residential area in Preston, having good access to the Torbay Ring Road. There are local parade of shops in Preston Down Road, including a sub post office/newsagents and a local convenience store. Occombe Woods is also within easy access which is ideal for dog walkers, together with being adjacent to the fields that lead up to the woods. Preston also has a beautiful promenade and beach, which leads through onto Paignton seafront.
This imposing and spacious Semi-Detached Family home has been in the same family for over 30 years, and is now being sold offering scope and potential for improvement to offer a comfortable home.
The accommodation is laid out over 2 floors, with good sized rooms and versatile accommodation, and still offering some character and charm with picture rails and fireplaces.
The ground floor accommodation offers an entrance hallway, with lounge, and a separate sitting room, both at the front of the property enjoying lovely sea views. There is a separate dining room and kitchen with access out to the rear garden. There is also an inner lobby, with a downstairs wet room and w.c.
On the first floor, there are 4 double bedrooms, although currently one is used as a lounge and the other as a kitchen. There is also a bathroom and separate w.c.
The property has had some refurbishment works carried out, including a new boiler which was fitted in November 2023, although the central heating is currently only installed on the ground floor. The external walls of the property have been re-rendered and the roof has been serviced. The fascias, soffits and gutters have been replaced, together with new woodwork on the verandah.
The garden to the front is laid to lawn and offers scope and potential to provide off road parking, subject to the usual planning consents, enjoying sea views across the bay.
The rear garden is presently uncultivated and enclosed, with a large detached garage in a poor state of repair, accessed from Preston Down Road but giving scope and potential. The remainder of the garden is enclosed by fencing.
