SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
Banbury Park is a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of the family-friendly area of Shiphay, benefitting from permit parking and a public green in the centre of the street. Shiphay is renowned for its excellent schools and Torbay Hospital is minutes away. The house is a strones throw from local stores including post office and pharmacy, as well as being a short walk from local pubs and restaurants. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a family home in this sought-after location; the house briefly comprises of separate living and dining room, kitchen and adjoining conservatory, two double bedrooms and further third bedroom, family bathroom, large level garden with mature shrub and hedge border, front garden, driveway leading to garage and further shed behind.
Torquay is one of three beautiful towns forming the sheltered Tor Bay and is renowned for the warm climate, clear bathing waters and clean air. The local beaches form a golden arc around the bay with shingle coves scattered nearby. The town provides a wonderful quality of life for its residents with excellent shopping, waterside restaurants, a theatre and bars. Internationally renowned water sports are held in the sheltered bay, with the marina providing excellent mooring facilities for luxury yachts and motor cruisers. The area provides many scenic walks along south Devon's coastal footpaths, with local golf courses also nearby.

ACCOMMODATION
Exterior double doors open to a tiled porch for ease of cleanliness and with ample space for shoe storage. A stylish 1930s front door opens to the main hallway with coat storage space. This hallway opens to the sitting room at the front of the house which benefits from a beautiful bay window, picture rails, and typical 1930s door with lock. Adjacent to this is the separate dining room which also enjoys features which characterise a 1930s home such as picture rails, and deep alcoves with storage potential and fireplace surround. This room has been opened up with patio doors which open into the conservatory which overlooks the garden and creates a passage into the kitchen. The conservatory benefits from frosted windows to the side to protect the privacy of the space, and houses a further utility storage cupboard. A door leads from here out to the garden and provides easy access to the garage and shed. Accessible via the hallway and the conservatory is the galley kitchen which comprises of floor mounted kitchen cupboards, a wall-mounted cupboard, space for freestanding oven with hob over, stainless steel sink with drainer, useful pantry cupboard, space for washer dryer, windows above the sink which allow for proper ventilation, and tiled splashback for ease of maintenance. Upstairs the principal bedroom and bedroom two are both generous doubles with space in the alcoves for wardrobes or shelving. The principal bedroom enjoys a bay window with a peaceful view across the cul-de-sac, while bedroom two looks over the well-maintained garden and over Shiphay. Bedroom three is a single with ample storage space, or could be utilised as a study. The family bathroom comprises of a cast iron bathtub, wash hand basin, and WC, with frosted glass window for privacy and ventilation.

OUTSIDE
The house is fronted by a low maintenance garden- which many neighbours have sacrificed to create more driveway parking- and a long driveway leading to the detached single garage. The garage is wide enough to fit a modern car, and behind the garage within the same structure is a further storage space or garden shed. The path along the side of the house is gated to ensure security and privacy, and through this gate is a wonderful level lawn. The garden is low maintenance however there is plenty of potential here to landscape further if desired. Well-kept hedges and mature shrubs border the garden and create a safe environment for children.
