At the foot of the hill to the northeast lies Wellswood, a charming community with a village-like atmosphere, home to a post office, traditional pub, delicatessen, highly regarded primary school, and St Matthias Church. Scenic paths wind through the beautiful Ilsham Valley, leading to Meadfoot Beach and Daddyhole Plain, creating a picturesque link between Wellswood and the harbour.

OWNERS INSIGHT

"We retired to Torquay more than a decade ago and fell in love with Trevayne with its great kerb appeal, spacious accommodation and location in Wellswood. A beautiful, architect designed, house with a comfortable & convenient layout. The name comes from “Trevor” and “Jayne” who had the house built in 1982. The large dual aspect windows of the lounge and master bedroom catch the sunlight all day long while the main, south facing, patio has been ideal for parties and BBQs. We feel we have been spoilt here and it will be a sad day when we move on."
