Description

This stately period home, dating back to approximately 1860, was originally built for a former navy captain and has been lovingly refurbished to offer modern comforts while retaining its original period charm. It boasts five bedrooms and sits on a generous plot with mature gardens and seven palm trees. The grand entrance hall with a sweeping staircase leads to five spacious reception rooms, including a substantial kitchen/breakfast room and a formal dining room, with views over the rear garden. A study and a utility room with a cloakroom are also found on the ground floor. The lower ground floor provides additional living space with a family media room and a double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, offering flexibility for guests or as a self-contained unit for additional income. The first floor houses four double bedrooms, three with en-suite facilities, and a master suite with a generous bathroom and dressing room. The property benefits from double glazed windows, a substantial loft space, and external features including a wooden garage and shed. It is situated in a sought-after residential area of Torquay, close to local schools, transport links, and amenities, with the added advantage of being near Torquay Seafront and local attractions. The property is well-positioned for enjoying the many leisure activities and beautiful landscapes that the area has to offer, with the added convenience of the South Devon Highway providing easy access to Exeter and beyond.
