Description
Enjoying a prime position within walking distance of Wellswood village and the picturesque beaches of Meadfoot and Anstey's Cove, this substantial detached residence presents a rare opportunity to create a superb family home in one of Torquay's most desirable settings. The property boasts generous proportions throughout, with a total internal floor area of approximately 2,174 sq. Ft (202 sq. M), and benefits from delightful outlooks, easy access to coastal paths and green spaces, and convenient proximity to Torquay harbour and seafront.
Set back behind a private driveway with ample parking for several vehicles, including space for a motorhome or boat, the house is approached via a welcoming entrance. It features a spacious hallway that leads to a dual-aspect living room with direct access to a paved garden terrace, ideal for entertaining or relaxing outdoors. The ground floor also includes a separate dining room, a well-proportioned kitchen with an adjoining utility room, a cloakroom, and a versatile additional room, suitable for use as a fifth bedroom or home office.
Upstairs, the accommodation comprises four generously sized bedrooms, including a principal suite with an expansive en-suite bathroom, along with a large family bathroom. While the interiors would benefit from modernisation, the property offers a well-balanced and highly flexible layout that can be tailored to suit a range of lifestyle needs.
Outside, the enclosed rear garden is predominantly level and offers a private, secure environment with a paved terrace and mature borders. To the front, a sizeable forecourt leads to a detached double garage, providing further parking and storage options.
With the natural beauty of Ilsham Green, the South West Coast Path, and a wealth of local amenities on the doorstep, and with excellent transport links to Exeter and London Paddington via Torquay station, this is an exceptional opportunity to secure a home of scale and potential in an outstanding coastal location.
