Offering extensive and flexible accommodation, the property is ideal for family living or multi-generational occupancy, with excellent scope to create a self-contained two-bedroom annexe.
While the property has been well cared for over the years, it is now in need of some updating and modernisation, presenting an exceptional opportunity to personalise and enhance this spacious home in one of Torquay’s most sought-after residential areas.
Set within large, southerly facing gardens with a sun terrace and driveway parking, this substantial home combines coastal charm, space, and outstanding potential.

On the first floor of the main house are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite facilities, and a family bathroom.
Several bedrooms enjoy superb sea views from the rear elevation.
Annexe Potential The flexible layout offers excellent potential to create a two-bedroom self-contained annexe, ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or a holiday let (subject to any necessary consents).
This area is accessed from the main house and currently comprises a spacious lounge/dining room with kitchen off, and a space-saver staircase leading to the first floor where there are two double bedrooms and a bathroom/WC.
