TAKE A LOOK!
Valemoor Lodge is located just a short drive from St Marychurch & Torquay Town, some 5 miles away with Shaldon Village & Teignmouth Town some 4 miles away. Maidencombe is one of the areas highlighted places to live, with beautiful rural rolling countryside views with local South West Coast Path walks & some beaches too. A local bus route is available along the A379. Set on a circa 1.3 acres rectangular plot, this property has a driveway that leads across the front of the property to a Garage & down the side to another Garage, with plenty of space for several vehicles. Most likely a 1930’s to 1950's style property, Valemoor Lodge, we believe has been extended in the early 1980’s with a 2-storey gable end extension.

Currently, accessed via the front Entrance, you will find a 4 Bedroom House. The Ground Floor Entrance leads leftwards to an open plan Dining Room overlooking the side with deck Terrace (great views!), a Kitchen with backdoor leads outwards to the Gardens & around to the sides overlooking the rear. There is an Office/Study with separate Cloakroom overlooking the front. Here a set of stairs lead downwards to a single storey ‘Snug’ with utility room & an extra area, which lead directly out to a Patio space, on the side gable end, overlooking the Gardens. The main staircase leads upwards from the Entrance Hall. The first-floor landing provides a Family Bathroom directly in front of you, a Double Bedroom to the right overlooking the side, a Bedroom space to the left & then walking along the landing two more Bedrooms. The main Bedroom is a dual aspect room, overlooking the Gardens with far reaching countryside views of the hills. The other Bedroom overlooks the front. There is (truncated)

To the right-hand side of the building there is a separate access from the driveway that will provide you with the Annex. The entrance door leads directly into a Kitchen area, through to a Living Room, an ‘enclosed Sunroom/Dining Room’ with traditional 'bow window' & inwards to the first Double Bedroom. There is also another Double Bedroom & a Bathroom. The property’s outside space sits mainly to the rear with tree lined boundary’s around. The land slopes downwards to the left from the rear elevation.
Agents Note
There is one Land Registry Title Number & one Land Registry Plan for the whole site. Currently there are 2 Council Tax Addresses. Valemoor Lodge Band F Valemoor Flat Band B There are currently x 2 septic tanks for fowl waste, located to the rear of the property & Garage We have been advised that there are separate utilities, water, electric & Gas to both the main house & the Annex. Therefore, any purchaser is advised, prior to making an offer for purchase, that they check any suitable residential mortgage opportunities. We believe that there are, specialist lenders available, as traditional residential mortgages may not be obtainable given the current arrangement of the Building & Annex. Therefore, we have advertised this for Cash Buyers only given a general assumption. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with re-development, extension & refurbishment in mind, where a substantial home could be created. Currently both properties require refurbishment throughout. (truncated)
