Braddons Hill Road East, Torquay, TQ1

This FINE TOWN HOUSE forms part of a gated Grade II Listed development enviably positioned on the lower slopes of the prestigious Warberries hillside, sympathetically converted into a selection of unique homes.  The house presents deceptive living space of circa 2000 sq ft over three levels, affording five bedrooms, large kitchen/breakfast room, and impressive sitting/dining room. In addition to a private, low maintenance garden, Collingwood enjoys a beautiful southerly facing landscaped communal garden.
