Hillsborough, Hillesdon Road, TQ1

Occupying an enviable position within the sought after Warberries, this beautifully presented TWO BEDROOM MAISONETTE offers a wonderful combination of space, privacy and OPEN VIEWS, complemented by the rare benefit of a DOUBLE GARAGE. The accommodation is well proportioned throughout, with windows positioned to make the most of the outlook and fill the principal rooms with natural light, while the two bedrooms offer flexibility for guests or a home office. Outside, residents enjoy beautifully maintained communal gardens that wind throughout the development, providing a lovely outdoor backdrop without the burden of upkeep.

The Warberries is one of Torquay's most established and leafy residential pockets, rising above the town in a peaceful, elevated setting while remaining within easy reach of Torquay's harbourside, marina and town centre. Pleasant walks lead down through Warberry Copse towards the seafront and Rock Walk, with local schools, shops, cafes and churches close by, along with Torquay mainline railway station and principal bus routes for convenient onward travel.

OWNER INSIGHT

"When we first came to live in Torquay, we had our hearts set on a house, but it simply wasn't within our price range at the time. Choosing this property instead turned out to be a compromise we made easily, as it has given us the feel of two storey living with a genuinely good amount of space, all in a wonderful location. It has always felt far more spacious than most apartments we looked at, and one of the real luxuries has been never having to lift a finger for garden maintenance, as it's all taken care of within the service charge. Our neighbours have been lovely throughout our time here, and it has always felt like a safe and secure place to call home. The double garage is something we know we will miss when we move on, but with plans to relocate back to our roots, it feels like the right time for us to pass this lovely home on to its next owners."
