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
This extremely spacious and individual detached house presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home in a highly desirable residential area, offered with no onward chain.
Thoughtfully designed to maximise its stunning panoramic sea views, the property features five generously proportioned bedrooms, including two with en-suite facilities, complemented by two family bathrooms and a separate WC.
The impressive living accommodation is further enhanced by a two-bedroom self-contained annexe, perfect for multi-generational living, guests, or as an income opportunity (subject to any necessary consents).
The main living areas are light-filled and versatile, with large windows and doors that open onto a substantial balcony/terrace providing the perfect vantage point to take in the breathtaking coastal scenery.
Practicality is equally considered, with a garage and extensive under-house store rooms offering ample space for vehicles, storage, or workshop use.
EPC Rating: C Location The property is located in a popular residential area, only a short distance to the Ring Road, linking Torquay and Newton Abbot with its mainline railway station.
Paignton town centre and sea front are just under 3 miles away, offering an array of shopping facilities and lovely coastal walks with a choice of wonderful beaches.
There is also a train station in Paignton and regular bus services linking the nearby towns of Torquay and Brixham.
More locally there is a convenience store within walking distance located on the Marldon Road along with further bus services.
Garden There is a large balcony located to the rear of the property which enjoys the fabulous sea views over Paignton and Brixham.
To the side of the property steps give access to the rear garden which is tiered and is fitted with wooden decking for ease of maintenance. Again the gardens enjoy the fabulous sea views.
Parking - Garage To the front of the property there is a block paved driveway providing parking.
This leads to a garage with an up and over door, electric light and power and an internal door leading to the hallway.
