Occupying a desirable position in the popular Shiphay area, this three-bedroom detached bungalow offers an attractive blend of modern comfort, practical living and future potential. Conveniently located near Torbay Hospital, as well as a local nursery, primary and grammar schools, the property is ideally suited to families seeking a well-connected home within easy reach of the coast. The present owners have significantly upgraded the bungalow, with a newly renovated interior, stylish open-plan living space and a tastefully landscaped rear garden.<br/><br/>The property also benefits from approved planning permission for a substantial upgrade, including excavation works to convert the existing under-floor/crawl space into habitable lower-ground-floor accommodation. The approved plans show a proposed open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, cloakroom/WC, patio access via glazed doors, internal staircase connection and associated ground-floor reconfiguration, including the creation of a fourth bedroom and utility room. This offers future buyers an exciting opportunity to significantly enlarge and reconfigure the accommodation while making better use of the property's lower level and garden connection.<br/><br/>The front of the property provides generous off-road parking, leading to a garage with power and lighting, part of which has been adapted to create useful office space while retaining storage. To the rear, the fully enclosed tiered garden has been designed with ease of maintenance in mind, incorporating a spacious sun deck, artificial lawn, dedicated play areas and wide-ranging views, ideal for relaxation and entertaining. Solar panels installed on the roof offer an energy-efficient advantage, helping to reduce running costs and further enhancing the property's appeal.<br/><br/>Council Tax Band: D (Torbay Council)<br/>Tenure: Freehold<br/>Parking options: Driveway, Garage<br/>Garden details: Enclosed Garden, Rear Garden, Terrace<br/>Broadband options available at the property include:<br/>* Standard broadband (15mbps download, 1Mbps upload).<br/>* Superfast broadband (not available).<br/>* Ultrafast broadband (1800Mbps download, 220Mbps upload).<br/>- Networks in area - Openreach, Virgin Media<br/>
