Maidencombe, Torquay

Open views over patchwork fields are just one attribute of this SEMI-DETACHED HOUSE set in the hamlet of Maidencombe on the periphery of Torquay. Enjoying a generous plot with widened driveway parking, there is great potential to extend the house, subject to an necessary consent, with our clients having sympathetic plans drawn to extend the garage forward and construct above to create a striking family home without detrimentally encroaching on the garden or parking.

The semi-rural setting is perfect for those seeking a setting away from the hustle and bustle yet just a short journey to the coastal towns of Torquay or Teignmouth. The Thatched Tavern Inn or Orestone Manor Hotel are both nearby for either a country or fine dining, with the nearby village of Stokeinteignhead providing a modern village hall, community shop, Church, and highly regarded Primary School.

OWNER INSIGHT

"As we sit here on the beach a 10 minute stroll from the house I find it hard to think of a better place to have lived for the last 11 years. Memories of fun filled days with the children, Crabbing from the quayside at Shaldon, lazy days at Maidencombe beach or nature rambles through the miles of idyllic country lanes. Not to mention the 3 pubs in walking distance. Needless to say we’ll miss our home and the the social gatherings, the lovely neighbours and the appreciation of the spectacular countryside views. One regret is not having the time to realise the full potential of the property but hope the new owners get that opportunity. "
