Wellswood, Torquay

Kents Mews is a development of just three mews houses converted in the early 2000’s by an established local building company and tucked in a quiet, yet convenient location behind the shopping parade in Wellswood.  The property provides well proportioned, irregular shaped, open plan living space, which has recently been redecorated and improved with a fresh and neutral contemporary finish, complemented by a modern kitchen with integrated appliances and THREE GOOD SIZE BEDROOMS (one en-suite). 

The property is just a stone’s throw from the popular shopping parade of Ilsham Road, where you will find a quality selection of local shops, a post office, delicatessen, pub and restaurants, whilst the picturesque Meadfoot Beach can be found within a reasonable walk through the beautiful Ilsham Valley.  A regular bus service and St Matthias Church are both found within walking distance on the nearby Babbacombe Road.

OWNERS INSIGHT

"In the early 2000’s our company were offered the exciting opportunity of a project in a quiet yet convenient location in the heart of Wellswood. We then created three mews houses that we named as Kents Mews. We ensured that we provided spacious, bright homes that retained a degree of character but at the same time were tastefully fused with the modern conveniences sought by todays discerning purchaser…and we feel that we got this just right! Being a local family, we appreciate the convenience and the established, well regarded nature of the location. The shopping parade of Wellswood still maintains a ‘village’ atmosphere and a great sense of community and lovely walks can be found close by, through the scenic Ilsham Valley and down to Meadfoot Beach. The regular bus service found on Babbacombe Road also provides easy links to Torquay’s picturesque harbourside and also to the shops and amenities in Babbacombe and St Marychurch."
