A beautifully restored Victorian home in one of Torquay’s most sought-after locations. Arranged over three elegant floors, it blends period charm with refined coastal style, offering light-filled interiors and high-quality finishes throughout. The ground floor features an elegant living room opening onto a private terrace, alongside a stylish kitchen, dining area, and bright conservatory ideal for entertaining. Upstairs, individually designed bedrooms and luxurious bathrooms provide calm, comfortable living. Outside, an enclosed garden and terrace create a peaceful retreat, complemented by private parking.

Set in the prestigious Wellswood area, the property is close to boutique shops, cafés, beaches, and the scenic English Riviera coastline.

The house has been a loving family home for many years but due to our clients work running a global charity has increased, their travelling has meant spending less time at the property so have been running the house as a successful holiday let in recent years when not in residence.

OWNERS INSIGHT

"For the past thirteen years this house has been more than a place to live, it has been a true family home, chosen for its closeness to loved ones and cherished for the life that has unfolded within its walls. It has held the everyday moments and the milestone ones, raising two daughters, welcoming friends, and hosting countless family gatherings made easy by its wonderful sense of space, light and flow. It’s a home that feels generous and joyful, perfect for busy family life and unforgettable celebrations alike. Selling it is bittersweet, only prompted by a new chapter in a different part of the country, but it is ready now to offer the same warmth, laughter and possibility to the next family who will love it just as deeply."
