This SEMI-DETACHED HOUSE provides deceptive living space with the principal accommodation arranged in a traditional three bedroom design over the top two levels, and versatile garden level with a utility, home office/games room, and generous cellar, affording potential to create a SELF CONTAIN ANNEXE subject to any necessary consents.

Numerous leisure and sports clubs are close at hand, with Babbacombe Corinthian Sailing Club at the base of the precinct, and Torquay Golf Club on nearby Petitor Road.
OWNER'S INSIGHT
"The house ticked the boxes we needed when moving to Torquay in early 2022, being in a popular area close to good schools, ample space for our family and pets, and the additional garden level ideal for our teenage son to have his own games room or home office for ourselves. We still love our home, but our circumstances have changed slightly quicker than we expected, and we will be moving in with elderly family so can offer the house with no onward chain."

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.
