A rare opportunity to purchase a spacious DETACHED BUNGALOW WITH SEA VIEWS set in an extensive plot

benefitting from PLANNING PERMISSION FOR AN ADDITIONAL DETACHED HOUSE. Nestled in a tranquil

setting at the end of one of Torquay's most prestigious private roads, the property has been a loved home for our client and family over twenty years and would make an ideal proposition for those wishing to build their own home whilst living on site, an extended family wishing to be close yet retaining complete

OWNERS

INSIGHT

“Mandalay has been a wonderful home for our family

with many memories made. The vision of building the

new house did not come to fruition for us, although it was

always an added optional benefit rather than a business

venture. The loft is also quite substantial with potential

to convert and maximise the views.

There are many things we will miss about Mandalay,

with the privacy, open views, peaceful setting and

convenience to amenities all major factors why we chose

the house initially and stayed so long”.
