Description

Set behind a discrete façade La Maisonette is a mature TWO BEDROOM property forming part of a select development situated toward the head of a highly regarded no through road in this sought after residential district of Torquay.  Providing well proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors and complimented with a paved terrace and parking, the property would now benefit from some updating and improvement, but enables any new owner the opportunity of injecting their own taste and style into their new home.

La Maisonette enviably stands just a saunter to the comprehensive amenities of St Marychurch which include pedestrianised shopping precinct, medical centres, eateries, Churches and post office to name but a few. Torquay's Golf Club and South Devon Coast Path are literally on the doorstep, whilst nearby is the picturesque Babbacombe Downs with the shingle beaches of Oddicombe and Babbacombe below which can be accessed by the renowned funicular Cliff Railway or winding wooded hillside.

SELLERS INSIGHT

"My uncle loved La Maisonette and lived here for 42 years. My grandparents helped him find it – a wonderfully secluded and peaceful location, with scenic cliff-top walks quite literally on the doorstep. A former Oxford music scholar turned teacher, he made this unique home his sanctuary—often filled with the sounds of clavichord and piano, as well as music from his students (it has the benefit of thick, sound-insulating walls!). The building itself is rich in history and full of charm. The downstairs has a south-westerly aspect that floods the veranda and living room with afternoon sunlight. The large upstairs bedroom has views over the rooftops towards St Marychurch and the magnificent church spire. La Maisonette has been well maintained over the years, but is dated. It offers excellent potential for sympathetic modernisation - ready to become a truly special home once again."
