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
Situated in one of Paignton’s most sought-after residential addresses, Dolphin Crescent occupies an enviable position in Higher Preston, enjoying breathtaking 180-degree sea and open views that stretch across the bay and beyond.
This well-positioned detached split level bungalow offers a rare combination of stunning outlooks, generous accommodation, and superb development potential.
Set back from the road with a private driveway and garage, this attractive two-bedroom property welcomes you with its elevated aspect and charming kerb appeal.
The front garden is landscaped and well-maintained, while the driveway provides off-road parking, leading down to the integral garage.
Inside, the home is filled with natural light and enjoys a sense of space and openness, enhanced by the panoramic coastal vistas visible from the rear elevation.
The spacious lounge is a highlight, offering direct access to a private balcony — the perfect place to sit and soak in the sea breeze while enjoying morning coffee or an evening drink.
The kitchen is well-sized and benefits from the same commanding views, making it a pleasant and inspiring place to cook and dine.
Adjacent to the living areas is a practical lobby with direct access to the garden.
There are two comfortable double bedrooms, (one having fitted bedroom furniture), both with generous proportions, and a family bathroom with separate shower enclosure, completing the main living accommodation.
One of the unique and exciting aspects of this property is the large under-house area with a utility space, which presents huge potential for extension or conversion (subject to any necessary consents).
In addition to the under house area, located under the garage and benefitting from a separate secure entrance, is a useful workshop with power and lighting..
Whether you're considering additional living space, a self-contained annexe, or workshop/storage areas, the possibilities are impressive.
Externally, the garden is a true delight, set over wide terraces to take full advantage of the sloping site and outstanding views.
There's plenty of space for outdoor entertaining, relaxing, and gardening – all while enjoying the stunning backdrop of sea and sky.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a home in a highly desirable coastal location with uninterrupted, far-reaching views and plenty of scope to improve, extend or personalise.
Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retirement retreat, a stylish coastal home, or a project with great upside, Dolphin Crescent is a property that ticks all the boxes.
There are local amenities nearby and a regular bus service into Paignton town centre with its sea front and pretty harbour.
The Torbay ring road is easily accessible with link to local towns and Exeter to the M5 motorway. Offered with no onward chain, this home is ready for its next chapter.
Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the position, potential, and outstanding lifestyle this property offers.
