Close to Torquay Harbour

This PERIOD GRADE II LISTED COTTAGE presents a home of great character which our clients have tastefully enhanced, sympathetically retaining the olde world charm whilst rejuvenating the building to meet the needs of a modern era. A compact courtyard and local resident permit parking are added benefits to this beautiful home set in a town environment. The cottage is enviably tucked back from the hustle and bustle in a peaceful setting, yet swift access to the vibrant harbourside, yacht marina and town centre. Waterside bars, restaurants, Princess Theatre and array of leisure activities can all be found on the doorstep, whilst following the sea front promenade takes you to the flagship Torre Abbey Sands Beach, historic Torre Abbey, Torquay Train Station and leisure centre. Heading up Meadfoot Lane and over the hill takes you to Meadfoot Beach, one of Torquay's most picturesque locations and a haven for water sports.

OWNERS INSIGHT

"The cottage was in a rather sorry state when we took ownership and we really enjoyed breathing new life into the old building. The renovation project was challenging, but enabled us to inject our own style. The cottage has given us a lifestyle as much as a home, with our local dog walk around the harbour or Meadfoot Beach. Local restaurants and bars are virtually on the doorstep, with the renowned Orange Tree Restaurant at the bottom of the road.''
