## Description

A DELIGHTFUL DETACHED BUNGALOW

Standing on a large plot backing onto Scadson Woods and enjoying fabulous PANORAMIC RURAL AND WOODLAND VIEWS.

Situated in a good residential cul-de-sac road in a convenient elevated location in the sought after suburb of Preston.  The area is served by a local shopping parade and is approximately one mile from the main heart of Preston.  Preston itself is virtually self-sufficient having a huge selection of local shops and services along with Tesco, Sainsburys & Co-operative Supermarkets.   There is a Doctors' Surgery, Sub Post Office and a main bus service connecting the busy holiday towns of Paignton and Torquay.  There is also what is possibly the best beach in Torbay, having wide sands gently sloping into the sea with picturesque adjoining promenade and green.

Templer Road is also a few minutes' drive to the Torbay Ring Road providing good roads around the area, and inland to Newton Abbot, Exeter and the M5 Motorway.  The bungalow provides lovely bright, comfortable living space with a wonderful large landscaped garden enjoying the fantastic views.
