Charming period home with stylish interior hits the market

Set behind the discreet façade of this period terraced house lies a beautiful interior, featuring an open-plan principal reception space with a warming log burner and a stylish kitchen opening to the walled garden. The traditional three-bedroom design benefits from an additional loft room, and while not formally converted, it offers a versatile space with fixed access.

St Edmunds Road is convenient for the amenities at Plainmoor, which include a Lidl supermarket, Morrisons Local, and a popular bakery. The neighbouring districts of Babbacombe and St Marychurch are easily accessible. They are home to the vibrant pedestrianised shopping precinct, picturesque Babbacombe Downs with beaches below, and Torquay Golf Club. Swim Torquay, Torquay United Football Club, and a selection of schools are within walking distance, including Spires College and several primary schools.

A composite obscure glazed entrance door opens to the reception hall with a tiled floor, wainscot panelling, and an overhead meter cupboard. The open-plan sitting/dining room has durable oak-effect flooring running throughout. The sitting room has a window to the front with plantation shutters and a warming log burner set on a tiled hearth. The dining room has an internal window with plantation shutters looking into the kitchen and storage shelving in one alcove. The kitchen is fitted with a range of sage green shaker units incorporating a dresser unit and square-edged worktops with an inset sink. There is a built-in electric oven and hob with a glass canopy filter hood over, an integrated dishwasher, and provisions for a washing machine and fridge/freezer. There is a roof light, twin windows, and a glazed door overlooking and opening to the rear courtyard garden.

From the reception hall, stairs rise to the half landing with a door to the shower room with fully tiled walls in a metro style. There is a double walk-in shower with a body spray and rain head, a wash hand basin, a WC, and a deep linen cupboard housing the Ideal gas boiler. An obscure glazed door and matching side window open to a decked flat roof above the kitchen where our clients have utilised the space as a utility area and placed a timber garden shed. Three steps lead to the main landing where the three bedrooms lead off. Bedrooms 1 and 2 are both comfortable doubles that enjoy feature cast iron fireplaces, and bedroom 3 is a single. All three bedrooms feature plantation shutters. From the landing, a fixed ladder staircase rises to the versatile loft room with a Velux window with an inbuilt blind, walk-in storage, and access to eaves storage.

The rear garden is fully enclosed with fenced and walled boundaries. It is paved for ease of maintenance with a mature raised flower bed and a water tap. A pedestrian gate opens to the rear service lane.
