The Quillet, Longpark Hill, Maidencombe, Torquay
Set in an elevated, semi-rural position on the outskirts of Torquay, The Quillet is a striking, recently constructed architect-designed home that combines clean modern lines with a warm, family-friendly layout and genuinely standout views. The property benefits from peace and tranquility, whilst still only being 5-10 minutes drive from Babbacombe, St Marychurch and central areas.
Built to make the most of its setting, the house is all about light, scale and effortless flow to the outside - with wide glazing, multiple door openings and wraparound balcony terraces creating that immediate “this is different” feeling the moment you arrive.
Behind its crisp contemporary façade, the accommodation is substantial and well-balanced, offering around 284m2 / 3,057 sq ft of internal space arranged over two floors, plus a double garage.
The design works brilliantly for modern family life: Generous reception areas for entertaining, generous bedroom proportions, and the flexibility for multi-generational living or working from home without anyone feeling on top of each other.
Layout overview
A large, impressive reception hallway sets the tone and gives excellent circulation to the ground-floor bedroom wing, ideal for guests, older relatives or a private home office setup. The downstairs suite is particularly useful, with its own en-suite, built-in storage and direct access via bi-fold doors to the gardens/terracing - the current owners have used this as a comfortable “independent” space for mum, with the utility room working perfectly as a small ancillary kitchen area.
Upstairs, the house opens into the main living level where the architecture really comes into its own: A superb living room and adjacent dining kitchen arrangement designed around the views, with direct access out onto the large porcelain tiled terrace and wraparound balcony The outside space has been cleverly shaped into “sun pockets” throughout the day, so there’s always a spot to follow the sun, host friends, or simply switch off with the outlook.
Across the two floors, the property provides five bedrooms and four bath/shower rooms, including three en-suites plus a luxury main bathroom.
Kitchen & living space
The kitchen is a true centrepiece - sleek, handleless, and built for day-to-day family life as much as entertaining. It includes:
The main living areas enjoy that rare combination of big glass, big sky and big views - with easy, level access onto the terrace for summer dining and evening sunsets.
Bathrooms & finish
The main bathroom is finished with imported Spanish marble tiles and includes a lit vanity mirror with WiFi/music function, with a further WiFi/music heated mirror to the en-suite in the smaller upstairs double. Showers are predominantly Bristan “drencher” style (with Mira Sport in the downstairs suite). A neat additional detail: The majority of the ceiling spotlights have three colour-temperature options (daylight / warm white / cool white) selectable at the fitting - a small thing, but it adds to the overall quality feel.
Grounds, terraces & views
The plot extends to approximately 0.3 acres (to be confirmed), with a smart driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles and access to the double garage with electric Hörmann door and fob operation (plus convenient internal open button). The outside space is geared for lifestyle: A substantial main terrace with glass balustrading, wraparound balcony sections, and a lawned garden that drops into a peaceful outlook across the surrounding countryside with sea glimpses beyond. There’s also a lovely tucked-away seating nook at the bottom of the garden with a swing chair - an ideal “end of the day” spot.
Two practical outbuildings (both staying) provide excellent storage, including a weatherproofed/clad shed and a separate mower shed.
High-spec, efficient & future-focused
This is a home designed to be comfortable and economical to run for its size, with an excellent EPC rating of B The owners opted for increased glazing to maximise light and views.

Life at The Quillet: The owners words:
Lovingly designed and built by our family from the groundworks up, this is a home we’ve poured our time and pride into at every stage. It brings together bold, contemporary architecture with a wonderfully peaceful setting - close to the countryside and coast - and a layout that simply works for modern life. Natural light and the views were at the heart of the design, and it’s something you feel in every room, from early-morning sunrises to the evening skies that never seem to get old.
Leaving will be genuinely emotional because this house has given us so many happy moments, but retirement adventures are now calling. We hope the next owners enjoy the same sense of calm, space and everyday “wow” factor that has made living here so special.
To truly appreciate the space, light and setting that The Quillet offers, an early viewing is highly recommended. Please contact the team at Absolute Sales & Lettings – Wellswood to arrange your appointment and experience this exceptional home first-hand.

Location
Situated in the highly sought-after coastal hamlet of Maidencombe, Longpark Hill enjoys an enviable position along the South Devon coastline, offering a perfect blend of peaceful countryside living and convenient access to nearby amenities. This picturesque area is renowned for its stunning sea views, rolling green hills, and charming village atmosphere.
Just a short distance away, Maidencombe Beach provides a beautiful, sheltered cove ideal for relaxing walks, swimming, and enjoying the natural surroundings. The South West Coast Path is also easily accessible, offering spectacular coastal walks with panoramic views across Lyme Bay.
Despite its tranquil setting, Longpark Hill is well connected. The vibrant seaside town of Torquay is only a a 5 minute drive away, offering a wide range of shops, restaurants, schools, and leisure facilities. The historic market town of Teignmouth is also nearby, known for its charming seafront, independent shops, and rail links to Exeter and beyond.
The area benefits from a strong sense of community, with local amenities including a traditional village pub and nearby golf course. Surrounded by unspoilt countryside and coastal scenery, Longpark Hill presents an ideal location for those seeking a relaxed lifestyle while remaining within easy reach of the English Riviera and excellent transport links.
This location is particularly appealing to families, retirees, and second-home buyers looking to enjoy the best of coastal and countryside living in one of South Devon’s most desirable settings
Garden
The outside space at The Quillet has been designed to make the most of its elevated setting, with a large, level lawn providing an excellent family space and a lovely sense of openness, framed by established boundaries and mature trees. A series of raised terraces and wide steps lead out from the house to create seamless indoor–outdoor living, while the wraparound balcony/terrace offers multiple seating areas to follow the sun and soak up the outlook.
The setting is a real highlight - enjoying a peaceful rural backdrop with far-reaching views across rolling countryside, and sea views in the distance, giving you that rare blend of coast-and-country lifestyle. There are also smart, practical touches including a decked seating area (ideal for evening drinks around a firepit), planted borders for year-round interest, and useful outbuildings/sheds for storage and garden kit (including a dedicated mower shed). Overall it’s a brilliant, low-fuss outdoor setup: Plenty of space to relax and entertain, with views that do the heavy lifting.
