Ansteys Close, Torquay, TQ1

Set within one of Wellswood’s most respected cul-de-sacs, this fine detached Georgian-style residence was originally built by the reputable local firm Messrs Stoneman, forming part of an exclusive collection of luxury detached homes in a highly regarded residential setting.

Loved and carefully enjoyed by the current owners for many years, the property has proved an ideal downsizing home, combining the independence of detached living with a remarkably convenient position close to Wellswood Village, coastal walks and some of Torquay’s most attractive beauty spots.

The home enjoys a superb elevated outlook, with views stretching towards Babbacombe and Lyme Bay beyond the horizon. To the front elevation, the outlook is framed by woodland and the scenery around Anstey’s Cove, giving the property a wonderful sense of openness while still being moments from everyday amenities.

Internally, the accommodation extends to approximately 1,550 sq. ft. and is arranged over two floors, offering a practical and well-balanced layout. A welcoming entrance vestibule opens into the reception hall, with a cloakroom/WC positioned on the ground floor. The main sitting room is a particularly generous space, centred around a fireplace and enjoying excellent natural light, with access through to the sun lounge. The sun lounge is a real highlight of the home, positioned to make the most of the sea views and open outlook, and provides a versatile additional reception space that could work beautifully as a relaxed sitting area, reading room or dining space.

A separate dining room sits to the front of the property and benefits from an attractive bay window, creating a formal dining space or additional reception room depending on the buyer’s needs. The kitchen is positioned centrally, linking well with both the dining room and sitting room, giving the ground floor a naturally sociable flow.

On the first floor, the landing leads to three comfortable bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a spacious double room with fitted wardrobes, an en-suite shower room and views across the surrounding area. There is a further generous double bedroom with bay window detail and fitted wardrobes, along with a third bedroom that would suit use as a single bedroom, study or dressing room. A well-proportioned family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.

Externally, the property continues to tick a number of important boxes. A private driveway provides parking and leads to an integral garage with direct internal access into the sun lounge. The rear garden has been designed for ease of upkeep, with a large patio area that takes full advantage of the home’s elevated position and impressive outlook. It is a superb space for sitting out, entertaining or simply enjoying the surrounding scenery with minimal ongoing maintenance. There is also a useful brick-built store/potting house, ideal for garden tools and outdoor paraphernalia.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a detached home in a first-class Wellswood position, offering space, outlook, parking, garaging and convenience in equal measure.
