St Marychurch, Torquay

This CHARACTER PERIOD COTTAGE stands in the heart of St Marychurch and has been a loved home for the same family over thirty years. The deceptive interior features a spacious principal room with charming beamed ceiling overlooking and opening into to the sunny walled garden, and three cottage double bedrooms to the first floor. There is the added benefit of a private parking space.

The convenient location is a mere saunter to the beautiful Church of St Mary’s, the vibrant pedestrianised shopping precinct with wide choice of shops and eateries, and the scenic Babbacombe Downs with shingle beaches below equally accessible. Numerous leisure and sports clubs are close at hand, with Babbacombe Corinthian Sailing Club at the base of the precinct, and Torquay Golf Club virtually a tee shot away.

SELLER'S INSIGHT

"My parents owned the cottage for over thirty years and treasured their home. The garden was their sanctuary where they could potter for hours, providing a private and sheltered space capturing the sun throughout the day. The location was one of the reasons for their longevity at Henge Cottage. The shopping precinct is a matter of steps away, and they literally had all they needed close at hand, with variety of shops, cafe's, post office, and medical centre."
