Description
Situation & Description - An impressive and characterful two bedroom garden apartment quietly situated in Wellswood, affording flexible living space over two floors, offered with no forward chain. Inspired by the timeless elegance of Regency architecture seen in London, Brighton and Bath, Wellswood Park is a distinguished terrace of homes set around a beautifully landscaped private park. Originally built circa 1850's, this historic property was thoughtfully converted into two exclusive apartments. This spacious home boasts stunning southerly views over the park and beyond. The residence seamlessly blends its period charm with contemporary touches, featuring high ceilings, large sash windows, and décor in soft, neutral tones. This gracious apartment offers a serene retreat, perfect for those seeking a relaxed and refined lifestyle in a unique and prestigious setting with easy level access to the high st.
Set within the prestigious Warberries conservation area, Wellswood Park is just a short, level stroll to the charming village-style community of Wellswood, offering excellent local amenities such as a church, cosy cafes, traditional pubs, and a variety of boutique shops. Torquay is one of three beautiful towns forming the sheltered Tor Bay and is renowned for the warm climate, clear bathing waters and clean air. The local beaches form a golden arc around the bay with shingle coves scattered nearby. The town provides a wonderful quality of life for its residents with excellent shopping, waterside restaurants, a theatre and bars. Internationally renowned water sports are held in the sheltered bay, with the marina providing excellent mooring facilities for luxury yachts and motor cruisers. The area provides many scenic walks along south Devon's coastal footpaths, with local golf courses also nearby.
Accommodation - This elegantly proportioned residence captures the grandeur of a bygone era with its high ceilings and a spacious, wide central hallway that gracefully opens into the principal rooms. The formal dining room and drawing room are both designed to impress, offering sweeping views of the beautifully manicured garden and adjacent parkland just beyond. These grand spaces are ideal for hosting intimate dinners or larger gatherings, creating a perfect blend of period character with generous living spaces. The main floor also includes two spacious double bedrooms, one of which opens onto a charming inner courtyard, providing a tranquil retreat. A well-appointed fitted kitchen, a large bathroom, a separate shower room, and an additional cloakroom/WC complete this level.
The lower level of the residence offers further versatility, with two generously sized rooms currently used as occasional double bedrooms. These flexible spaces can easily be adapted to suit individual needs, whether as additional bedrooms, home offices, or creative studios. Additionally, this floor features a dedicated wine cellar, ideal for enthusiasts looking to home or expand their collection. This home combines period charm with modern functionality, offering an exceptional lifestyle in a refined setting.
Outside - Beyond the elegant interiors, the residence extends its charm to a beautifully maintained private garden, perfectly positioned to offer scenic views of the adjoining park. The meticulously landscaped grounds create a serene outdoor haven, combining lush greenery with thoughtfully designed spaces for relaxation and enjoyment.
