This PERIOD TERRACED HOUSE affords deceptive living space over four levels, with south westerly facing decked garden and parking space to the rear enjoying views over the neighbouring park beyond. Home to our clients circa 38 years, the property presents a welcoming and versatile house which could provide a four bedroom design with relative ease.
The property stands near Avenue Road, the gateway to Torquay's picturesque sea front with the bustling harbourside, yacht marina and train station within easy reach which is just one stop from the main line Newton Abbot with direct links to London and major cities. Miles of beautiful walks are also found nearby at Cockington Country Park with circa 460 acres of woodland, lakes and meadows and home to the thatched Drum Inn. A selection of highly regarded schools and Torbay Hospital are also easily accessible.
OWNERS INSIGHT
"We bought the house as a young family, our daughter just 2 years of age and our son yet to be born, and 38 years later we're ready to downsize as grandparents! We are sure the same attractions will remain for a family as were relevant to us, a pleasant road with good neighbours, shops just around the corner, schools close at hand, parking at the back, and the park directly behind. Cockington, Torquay Sea Front and Abbey Sands are a little further, but still within comfortable walking distance. We will miss the old house immensely, but it is suited to a larger family with children who can use all the accommodation spanning the four floors."

What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
