Description

Occupying an enviable position in Livermead, Torquay, Bay View is an impressive six-bedroom detached seaside residence enjoying breathtaking sea views from the rear elevation across Tor Bay and the South Devon coastline.

Offering extensive and flexible accommodation, the property is ideal for family living or multi-generational occupancy, with excellent scope to create a self-contained two-bedroom annexe.

While the property has been well cared for over the years, it is now in need of some updating and modernisation, presenting an exceptional opportunity to personalise and enhance this spacious home in one of Torquay’s most sought-after residential areas.

Set within large, southerly facing gardens with a sun terrace and driveway parking, this substantial home combines coastal charm, space, and outstanding potential.

Accommodation

The ground floor features a grand reception hallway creating an elegant sense of arrival, leading to a spacious sitting room, enjoying sea views and an abundant natural light. There is also a formal dining room, perfect for family gatherings and entertaining, together with a well-proportioned kitchen/ breakfast room, a separate utility room, and a downstairs cloakroom/WC.

On the first floor of the main house are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite facilities, and a family bathroom. Several bedrooms enjoy superb sea views from the rear elevation.

Annexe Potential

The flexible layout offers excellent potential to create a two-bedroom self-contained annexe, ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or a holiday let (subject to any necessary consents). This area is accessed from the main house and currently comprises a spacious lounge/dining room with kitchen off, and a space-saver staircase leading to the first floor where there are two double bedrooms and a bathroom/WC.

Torquay property experts since 2010

At Absolute Sales & Lettings we do modern estate agency a bit differently. We're local and independent to our core, and always focus on delivering a totally bespoke approach to selling and letting properties, combining our local expertise and a powerful network with unique property marketing campaigns. Founding Director Simon Fisher first opened our doors in 2010, and are now proud to not only have 3 well-established offices across Torbay, but to also have been presented with multiple coveted awards, including 'GOLD South West Regional Estate Agency' at the prestigious Negotiator Awards. We're also incredibly proud and active supporters of our local charity, Rowcroft Hospice.

When choosing Absolute, you'll meet a devoted, experienced and well-connected team of property professionals who will work alongside you to make your home or investment property stand out from the crowd, ultimately achieving you the best price in the right timescale. Our innovative ethos has always put us at the forefront of contemporary estate agency, from the use of the latest property technology, to the modern designs of our offices and in-house marketing. Above all else, our primary goal is to provide you with an outstanding level of attentiveness, care and expertise.

Our Torquay Sales branch is headed up by Director Darren Hole, who has been working in Torbay estate agency since 1997. Darren is assisted by our highly accomplished Torquay team, including Senior Property Consultants Tina Liddiard and Frank Earnshaw, who have been helping Torquay residents with their properties from our sleek Wellswood office since 2016. Selling your home is one of the biggest financial decisions you will ever have to make and choosing who to trust with this is key to a successful sale. Our vendors love our professional photography, bespoke brochures, 3D virtual tours and extensive social media marketing that we are able to offer, and buyers find them invaluable when selecting which properties to view.

We're also proud to have a highly-established lettings team, which is headed up by our Lettings Director Chelsey Earnshaw who won the coveted 'Best Property Manager Gold Award' at the Sunday Times Letting Agency of the Year Awards. Chelsey is ably-assisted by our experienced Lettings Manager Natalie Cook. A unique part of our lettings service is that you'll be assigned a designated property manager who will look after you and all aspects of the lettings process, including ensuring your compliance. If you are looking for an agent to manage your property as if it was their own, we'd love to talk to you.
