Wellswood, Torquay

Set at the head of a prestigious cul-de-sac, this FINE DETACHED HOUSE affords deceptive living space behind the discrete façade. Arranged in a reverse level design, the versatile accommodation could be easily adapted to suite a multitude of requirements, with the extensive sitting room flowing out onto the porcelain tiled terrace complete with hot tub, and tiered garden with large summerhouse/studio. A double garage and driveway provide ample parking for the car enthusiast or family, and solar panels provides a welcome reduction to energy costs.

Den Brook Close is positioned near the top of the wooded Warberries hillside, with Warberry Copse and popular Warberry Primary School. Wellswood, with it's village ambiance is found at the base of the hill, benefitting from an array of amenities including well supported St Matthias Church, Kents Pub, Ilsham Primary School, post office, delicatessen, and Coop. Torquay's Marina, vibrant harbour, and collection of highly regarded restaurants are equally accessible.

OWNER'S INSIGHT

"This is my second home in the direct area, and the location is so peaceful at the head of the cul-de-sac with no through traffic on any of the neighbouring roads. It's a deceiving house, and you only get a full picture of the size and scope once you walk through the door. There are so many attributes about the house, and for me as an artist the garden studio has been a big advantage, the double garage to park both cars, and flexibility of the rooms. Someone could easily make a studio for a teenager or home office if they need private access as there is a separate entrance to the large bedroom beneath the driveway approach."
