Warberries, Torquay

Located on the prestigious Warberries hillside, this spacious GARDEN APARTMENT forms the major portion of the ground floor of an elegant converted Victorian villa. A private entrance leads to the extensive accommodation, centred around a impressive dining hall with double doors to the generous sitting room, which in turn flows onto the private sun terrace and attractive garden.

The wooded hillside of the Warberries stands above Wellswood with its village ambiance, retaining a parade of independent shops and Coop, restaurant, pub, and well supported St Matthias Church. A selection of schools are equally accessible, with Warberry Primary at the brow of the hill, and Ilsham Primary at the base of the hill. More comprehensive facilities are found a few miles distance at Torquay’s Harbourside and Town Centre providing a variety of stores, waterside restaurants, coffee shops, theatre and mooring facilities to name but a few.

OWNER'S INSIGHT

"Edwinstowe was ideal for our Dad, having easy private access and substantial rooms all on one level. The garden is a lovely space to relax, with various areas to sit in the sun or shade. The Warberries hillside is a beautiful part of Torquay, and very handy for the shops at the bottom of the hill. We would have personally looked to enhance and modernise the apartment, but our Dad was happy with his comfortable home, so hopefully the new owners can take on a blank canvass and inject their own style and design."
