Description
An impeccable four double bedroom chalet style home situated in the heart of Marldon village. The ground floor accommodation benefits from a large lounge, with far reaching forward views over open countryside. The kitchen dining room is equally as impressive with a beautiful fitted kitchen that opens out into a dining room, and out into a patio area, a utility room is also located nearby. There is a ground floor double bedroom with a fully equipped shower room close by. On the first floor is a magnificent master bedroom with a Juliette balcony, with French doors, looking out over the garden. There are two further double bedrooms and a luxurious family bathroom. The garden is generous in size and the front offers off-road parking for several vehicles. The location cannot be faulted, there are nearby shops, primary school, village hall and a delightful Village Green with the adjoining historic Church House Inn/Restaurant. Marldon itself is well located nearby to the main Torbay Ring Road providing good access to all the towns and amenities of Torbay, with the new bypass offering an easy route to Exeter and the M5. The busy holiday town of Paignton is approx. two and a half miles away with its safe and wide family beaches and boating facilities available from Paignton Harbour.
Entrance Hall
Accessed from a sloping driveway to a covered oak entrance door with a central leader glazed panel and an overhead light panel. The hallway is very welcoming with solid oak flooring and a double panel radiator with an independent thermostatic controller. There are stairs up to the first floor level with Understairs storage. Doors to:
Lounge
A beautifully proportioned room with a set of front aspect UPVC double glazed bay windows offering far reaching views over Devon countryside. The focal point is a stone fire place with a matching hearth. It's currently empty, but the chimney is open - it's perfect for a woodburner. There are also two double panel radiators with independent thermostatic controllers.
Kitchen / Diner
More delightful space with a large kitchen dining room with a large central island offering breakfast bar space. This room is fitted with an extensive range of gloss contemporary base and eye level units with brushed stainless hardware. The work surfaces are butcher block, with the centre island in granite. The sink unit is recessed with a commercial style mixer tap and spray head, there is an integrated full size dishwasher too. The hob is also inset with a four ring halogen and plate warmer. There is a glass and brushed stainless extractor hood over. There is an integrated double oven and microwave adjacent to it, all situated at waist height for ease of use. There is also room and plumbing for a free standing American style fridge freezer. A pair of UPVC French open out into a patio area and a side aspect UPVC obscure double glazed window throws additional light into the room. The flooring is solid oak and runs through an archway into the dining area. There is another set of UPVC double glazed French door that again, opens into the patio area. This dining area easily accepts an eight seater dining set. Finally there are two double panel radiators, one on each side of the room, and both with independent thermostatic controllers.
Utility Room

The flooring is tiled with slate and there's a single panel radiator with an independent thermostatic controller.
Downstairs Shower
Nicely catering to the ground floor bedroom, there's a glass shower cubicle with an electric shower fitted within.

Outside
Front:
Mostly brick wall bordered with a central tree planter. The driveway is long enough for several vehicles and leads to a single garage like structure. Not quite big enough for a car, but excellent for motorcycle and bicycle storage (or as a workshop). A secure gate offers access to the rear garden.
Side:
There is a granite chipped pathway that leads around the front of the home to a side accessed basement area. There's head restriction but it goes a long way under the home. Other street residents have further developed this area.
Rear:
A patio runs along the rear of the home, accessed via the kitchen and dining area. Six shallow steps bring you up to a lawned area that is bordered by mature hedging. There are seven apple trees, all bearing fruit. There is also a metal shed structure for housing lawn equipment. A charming child's garden house is also in situ, it has a vaulted tiled roof and is carpeted inside. There is also a lean-to structure on one side, perfect for garden furniture storage.
