## Description

This MATURE DETACHED HOUSE is set in a peaceful road on the fringe of the picturesque Cockington Country Park boasting beautiful walks through its 450 acres of woodland, meadows and lakes with the popular thatched Drum Inn providing a welcome stop for refreshment.  The property would now benefit from general modernisation and currently remains as its original design, therefore potential is available to extend and create a sizeable family home (subject to gaining any necessary permissions).  The accommodation is complimented by an attractive rear garden facing a south westerly aspect with views also being enjoyed toward Cockington and the sea at Torbay in the distance.   

The local parade of shops at Walnut Road and a host of highly regarded schools are found nearby whilst Torquay's sea front and train station are also easily accessible being just one stop from the main line station of Newton Abbot with direct links to the major cities.
