Hillesdon Road, Torquay

This PERIOD TERRACED HOUSE is set on the hillside above Torquay Town commanding open views toward the hills of Marldon in the distance. Behind the discrete façade the accommodation has undergone a comprehensive programme of renovation and updating and now offers tastefully presented THREE BEDROOM accommodation, retaining charm and character but complemented with modern comforts, with the bright open plan living space accessing the enclosed low maintenance garden and the en-suite ground floor bedroom provides further flexibility.

Torquay's Town Centre, Harbour and Yacht Marina lie at the base of the hill boasting a wealth of water sports, waterside restaurants, bars, theatre and shopping. Warberry Primary School stands at the top of the hill with Ilsham and Ellacombe equally accessible.

OWNER INSIGHT

"When we first parked on the road opposite the house, we were blown away by the view, I instantly got my compass out to see & it was West facing, I always wanted a Sunset view. I said to my partner “did you hear that” he said “what” I said listen & it was clear as day we could hear a woodpecker behind us in the trees pecking away, I knew at that moment this was the place for us and certainly have not been disappointed. The house had been loved & that made it become our home."
