Description
Set on the lower slopes of the highly sought-after Warberries hillside, Fonthill is an exclusive, purpose-built development constructed by Midas Homes. Designed with sympathetic period architecture, the building blends seamlessly with Torquay’s iconic Victorian surroundings. This immaculate first-floor apartment offers bright, well-proportioned accommodation and is perfectly positioned to enjoy peaceful residential living while remaining moments from local amenities.
Wellswood’s charming village community—featuring boutique shops, popular bistro restaurants, a parish church, and local pub—is just a short stroll away. Heading down the hill brings you straight to Torquay’s vibrant harbourside, yacht marina, and town centre, offering an array of restaurants, leisure facilities, and scenic coastal walks. Excellent transport links, including nearby bus services, make getting around Torbay effortless.
A secure communal entrance with lift and stair access leads to the first floor. A private entrance door opens into the welcoming reception hall, complete with a security intercom system, electric consumer unit, and smoke alarm.
The bright and airy sitting room enjoys a dual aspect with double-glazed windows to the front and side, creating a wonderful space to relax or entertain. The adjoining kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of light wood-effect wall and base units, complemented by generous work surfaces and an inset sink unit. Integrated appliances include a double oven, four-ring electric hob with extractor hood over, and a washing machine, alongside dedicated space for a fridge/freezer.
The apartment boasts two comfortable double bedrooms. Bedroom one is positioned to the front with a pleasant outlook, while bedroom two enjoys a side-facing aspect. The modern bathroom is fitted with a quality white Roca suite comprising a panelled bath with a shower overhead, wash hand basin, and low-level WC. It is finished with part-tiled walls, a large wall mirror with spotlight over, a shaver point, a heated towel rail, and a built-in airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder.
Residents at Fonthill enjoy excellent communal facilities. On the first floor, a shared communal balcony with decorative balustrading overlooks the front of the development. At garden level, there is a communal storage room featuring a secure private cabinet allocated to each apartment.
To the front of the building, a private driveway leads around to the residents' car park, where an allocated parking space is provided. Well-tended communal lawned gardens wrap around the development, offering tranquil outdoor space and the added convenience of secure gated pedestrian access directly onto the Babbacombe Road.
