St Lukes Rd , Torquay

DESCRIPTION 'Beautifully bijou'. Set above the road with discrete gated approach, this CHARMING MEWS HOUSE features a generous PRIVATE TERRACE, open plan principal living space with mezzanine bedroom area and EXTENSIVE GARAGING beneath. The exceptional parking and terrace are particular attributes for a property of this style and location. A wonderful opportunity for an owner occupier or rental investor seeking something a little different!


Torquay's town centre, harbour and sea front are all within easy reach, providing a wide range of amenities and recreational activities. Local shops at Lucius Street are equally a short walk, whilst both the English Riviera Centre and TLH Leisure Resort are found within a mile distance providing exceptional facilities for health and wellbeing.  

OWNERS' INSIGHT "Matlock Cottage is certainly unique! I have lived here now for twelve years, and there is so much I will miss. The garaging is perfect for anyone seeking plenty of parking, workshop space or storage. If anyone has a boat or enjoys water sports, they have ample storage for everything needed and just a few minutes from the marina or beach.

The property itself is compact, but perfectly comfortable. In the warmer months I use the terrace as an extension to the living space and is particularly lovely in an evening with the sun setting. I am only moving for a change in lifestyle to Cornwall, but will be leaving Matlock Cottage with a heavy heart."
