Wellswood, Torquay

This character MAISONETTE forms part of an elegant converted Victorian Villa, set at the head of a cul-de-sac in the very heart of leafy Wellswood.  The property affords a spacious one bedroom design over two levels with a private access on the lower ground floor leading to the communal gardens. The lofty ceiling heights and tall sash windows are typical of its era, with a south easterly facing aspect creating a bright and open space.

Just a saunter from the local amenities of Wellswood with the popular Kent’s pub, post office, hair dressers, patisseries, Co-op, St Matthias Church and Ilsham Primary Schools retaining its ‘village’ ambiance. Walks can be enjoyed beyond through the wooded Ilsham Valley to Meadfoot beach. More comprehensive facilities lie within Torquay’s bustling harbour offering a variety of waterside restaurants, coffee shops, theatre and mooring facilities to name a few.

OWNER INSIGHT

“I purchased Flat 1 Kentisknowle as an investment to add to my pension back in 1995, and it has been let to long term tenants ever since. I have now moved into my forever home, and as I have reached pensionable age the time is right to sell the property. The property would suit a first time buyer, rental investor, or just someone looking to live in a desirable location within Torquay. Wellswood shops are just a stone’s throw away, and beautiful Meadfoot beach a stroll down the road, so you couldn’t ask for a much better location."
