Location:

Located just a stone's throw from the serene Meadfoot Beach, a hub for water sports enthusiasts, and the scenic coast path leading to Torquay’s bustling harbour and marina, this property is perfectly positioned for those who appreciate the outdoors and coastal living. The popular Wellswood area, known for its ‘village’ ambience, is just over a mile away and offers local amenities including The Kents Pub, St Matthias Church, Ilsham Primary School, and a parade of shops.

Owner’s Insight:

“I have spent 25 wonderful years enjoying this cottage, which has been my main residence, holiday home, and most recently a rental investment. The stunning 180-degree views and the ever-changing weather across the bay have never ceased to amaze me. One of the cottage’s best features is the beautiful garden space right on our doorstep, which, fortunately, we don’t have to maintain!”
