We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Guide price £300,000 - £315,000 A charming, recently refurbished and upgraded, 2 double bedroom period property, hidden away in an exclusive enclave, with generous living space, parking for 2 cars and a glimpse of the sea.
Tucked away from the road amongst a small collection of individual period homes, Lilac Cottage offers a very special combination of character, privacy and modern convenience.
The accommodation is spacious and well proportioned throughout.
The light-filled sitting room benefits from uPVC sash windows on three sides, while the generous kitchen/dining room provides plenty of space for both everyday living and entertaining.
The kitchen has been refitted with extensive cupboards and worktop space it is every cooks dream. There is a useful utility/ cloakroom.
A side room has been repurposed as a study and is a useful addition, ideal for anyone working from home. Upstairs are two sizable double bedrooms, bedroom 1 has uPVC sash windows and is dual aspect.
The bathroom benefits from a newly fitted suite with walk-in shower. Outside, the property enjoys an enclosed, sunny, low maintenance garden..
The front garden is well stocked with mature flowering trees and shrubs and even boasts a sea peep from the front courtyard, providing a lovely reminder of its coastal location.
The property also benefits from off-road parking for two vehicles.
Its combination of manageable outside space, parking and location makes Lilac Cottage an excellent permanent home, but it could equally appeal to buyers looking for a South Devon lock-up-and-leave or potential Airbnb/holiday let, subject to any necessary consents and regulations.
Location Cedars Road sits on the sought-after Warberries hillside, an established part of Torquay characterised by leafy surroundings and attractive period homes.
Lilac Cottage is particularly appealing because it is positioned within a small, exclusive enclave of similar character properties, giving it a sense of seclusion while remaining convenient for the town.
Torquay Harbour, the seafront, beaches and the shops, cafés and restaurants of Torquay are all within easy reach, while Wellswood and its independent shops and eateries are also readily accessible.
Babbacombe Beach is just a 1 mile walk away.
