Chelston, Torquay

Standing proudly within its corner plot and set on the established Chelston hillside this substantial SEMI-DETACHED FAMILY HOUSE provides beautifully presented accommodation enjoying open views over the surrounding area and across to Torquay’s  treelined hillsides.  Lovingly maintained and much improved by the current owners the property provides bright, spacious and versatile living space complemented by FOUR BEDROOMS, with the principal bedroom having an en-suite shower room and dressing room.  The house is nestled within attractive, low maintenance enclosed gardens and benefits from driveway parking as well as a single garage.

The area is also well served by a selection of highly regarded schools, including the acclaimed Torquay Grammar Schools. This desirable side of Torquay additionally offers convenient access to Torbay Hospital, key link roads, Torquay’s picturesque seafront, and the rail station, which is just one stop from Newton Abbot on the main line, providing direct services to London and other major cities.

OWNERS INSIGHT

"This has been our much-loved family home for the past 10 years, filled with happy memories that we will treasure forever. The location has been perfect for us, ideal for schools, with beautiful walks around Cockington and the seafront just moments away. Over the years, we have adapted the property to create an easy to maintain, welcoming and fun space for family life. We are never tired of the stunning views across Torquay, and some of our special moments have been spent watching the fireworks light up the whole bay. We are now moving on to a slightly bigger project not far from here, and we look forward to another family creating their own wonderful memories in a home that has already been filled with so much love."
