LOCATION
Thatcher Avenue is one of Torquay’s most prestigious and sought-after addresses, set in an elevated and peaceful position away from the bustle of the town centre, yet perfectly placed to enjoy the very best of the English Riviera. This exclusive location enjoys breathtaking, uninterrupted views across Tor Bay and lies about a mile from Meadfoot Beach – a Blue Flag award-winning beach with a year-round licensed café with waterside terrace. The scenic Southwest Coast Path is easily accessible, offering miles of stunning coastal walks. Torquay has long been celebrated for its mild climate, elegant architecture and lively harbour – a town where classic Victorian charm blends effortlessly with striking contemporary
design. There is a superb selection of restaurants, bars and cafés, as well as a stylish marina and a wealth of beaches and secluded coves to explore. The historic riverside towns of Dartmouth and Totnes, and the wild beauty of Dartmoor National Park, are within easy reach. For those travelling further afield, the mainline station at Newton Abbot offers direct services to London Paddington in around 2 hours 30 minutes, while the A380 connects to the M5 at Exeter.

THE PROPERTY
18 Thatcher Avenue is a beautiful, detached home that embraces striking contemporary architecture and has been thoughtfully designed to make the very most of its commanding position above the coastline. From all principal rooms, the property enjoys magnificent, uninterrupted views across the water, and offers a wonderful sense of light and
space throughout. Set behind electric gates in one of Torquay’s most prestigious avenues, the house is arranged to maximise its southerly aspect, with superb terraces ideal for outdoor relaxation and al fresco dining. The impressive entrance hall sets the tone, with a sweeping staircase with a sleek glass balustrade connecting the floors of the house, adding to the sense of light and architectural elegance. The ground floor comprises an impressive double length sitting room with a striking freestanding wood burner as its focal point and full-height glazing, with doors opening directly onto the sun terrace, a dining room, again with wall to wall glazing and doors to the outside, perfect for indoor-outdoor living, a study, and a beautifully appointed kitchen, well fitted with integral appliances and a wrap around breakfast bar for casual dining.

On the lower ground floor, the hallway features a beautiful glass ceiling, allowing natural light to flood the space, and provides access to the principal bedroom suite, a luxurious retreat, complete with a walk-in dressing room and a
beautifully appointed en suite bathroom featuring both a walk-in shower and bath. Glazed doors open directly onto the terrace and gardens, providing a tranquil and private outlook. Two further en suite bedrooms are located on this level, both with doors leading to the gardens, and a utility room and cloakroom. The first-floor landing is a large mezzanine area,
offering a space for reading or quiet study, and also on this floor is the fourth bedroom suite, complete with en suite, and a Juliet balcony capturing elevated views over the bay.

OUTSIDE
Thatcher’s is approached over a gated driveway which offers parking for several vehicles and provides access to the double garage. Gardens to the front create a verdant approach whilst to the rear there is a lawned area and south-facing sun terraces on two levels. The terraces at both levels have a great degree of privacy and are perfectly positioned to capture all available sunshine and provide an intimate experience of the uninterrupted views across Thatcher Rock and around the curve of the bay.
