Description
Marlow, Wheatridge Lane, Torquay – A Striking Detached Residence with Exceptional Space & Gardens
Occupying an elevated position on the highly sought-after Wheatridge Lane, Marlow is an impressive detached residence set within beautifully landscaped, well-established gardens that enjoy sunshine throughout the day, offering an exceptional balance of privacy, space, and refined coastal living.
Originally dating from the 1930s, the home has been thoughtfully and sympathetically renovated, now enjoying views across Tor Bay. The result is a seamless blend of period charm and contemporary design, with modern décor presented in a calming palette of heritage tones, creating a stylish yet welcoming ambience throughout. The attention to detail is evident, with the property having been carefully upgraded to provide a superb standard of living—perfectly suited as an exceptional coastal home.
Approached via automated gates and a sweeping driveway providing ample parking and access to a detached garage, the property makes an immediate impression with its attractive façade and commanding setting. The surrounding gardens are a true highlight—generous, mature, and thoughtfully designed to offer a variety of outdoor spaces for both relaxation and entertaining.
Internally, the accommodation extends to over 2,700 sq. ft. and is arranged across three floors, offering both versatility and excellent proportions for modern family life.
A welcoming entrance hall forms the heart of the ground floor, leading to a spacious living room and a separate dining room, each enjoying pleasant outlooks over the gardens. To the rear, a substantial kitchen/breakfast room serves as the social hub of the home, complemented by a separate utility room and a conveniently positioned cloakroom.
The first floor hosts four well-proportioned bedrooms arranged around a central landing. The principal suite benefits from an en-suite bathroom and access to a private balcony, creating a peaceful retreat with elevated views. A family bathroom and additional WC serve the remaining bedrooms.
On the second floor, a superb fifth bedroom provides a particularly generous and flexible space, ideal for use as a guest suite, studio, or home office.
Externally, the grounds continue to impress. The beautifully established gardens are designed to maximise sunlight, enjoying a sunny aspect throughout the day and offering multiple sun pockets to follow the light from morning through to evening. Expansive lawns are framed by mature planting, while a beautifully designed decked terrace provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining. A charming summer house and additional seating areas further enhance the lifestyle offering, creating a series of inviting spaces to enjoy throughout the seasons.
