5 bed property for sale

Manscombe Road, Torquay TQ2

Situated in a tree-lined road just half a mile from Torquay seafront, we are delighted to bring to market ‘Malibu’, an impressive detached residence occupying an elevated position with outstanding views across Cockington Valley and towards Torquay harbour and the sea. The property offers generously proportioned accommodation, together with a self-contained annexe and an extensive 52’ attic room, formerly used as a studio. In total, the property extends to approximately 3,596 sq. Ft (334.1 sq. M), with the accommodation comprising an entrance reception hallway, a triple-aspect lounge, sun room opening onto the garden, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, cloakroom, four bedrooms (one with en-suite) and a family bathroom.

The impressive 52’ x 19’ attic room is fully boarded and carpeted, with windows providing a spectacular panoramic outlook over the bay. The self-contained annexe offers a living room, kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom, providing ideal independent accommodation for guests or extended family.

Externally, the property is set within mature gardens, predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by established shrubs and trees, enjoying superb far-reaching views from the valley through to the sea. The outdoor space provides an ideal setting for relaxation and entertaining. To the side, there is a substantial insulated timber chalet/home office, together with access to a 19’ x 14’ cellar. Double wooden gates open onto a front forecourt providing parking for two vehicles or a motorhome, leading to the garage.

Manscombe Road is well placed for a range of local amenities, including a parade of shops and a school, with Cockington Country Park, Scadson Woods and Manscombe Woods all close by. For commuters, Torquay railway station is approximately half a mile away, offering a regular service to London Paddington, while the A380 is easily accessible, providing convenient links to the M5 motorway and beyond.
