Haldon Road, Torquay, TQ1

Lyncote Pines occupies a wonderful position within the prestigious Lincombes, an exclusive hillside neighbourhood of sweeping Victorian villas and winding, tree-lined lanes, just a short walk from Wellswood's shops, eateries and close to Torquay Harbour and Meadfoot Beach along the Southwest Coastal Path.

The property sits behind high walls with natural Portland coping stone and fluted pier caps, softened by lush, mature hedging. Large electronic gates, framed in galvanised aluminium with solid oak, slide open to reveal a home of distinction that has been substantially upgraded throughout, with careful attention to detail. The driveway comfortably accommodates several cars, with multi-coloured rockery lighting to the front and a separate electronic side gate for additional access. To the side, a large garage with a remote thermally insulated door and a separate side door offers generous rear storage, loft storage, and a self-contained two-door storage area.

Step inside to a beautiful entrance, where warm white Brazilian porcelain flooring with zoned underfloor heating extends through the hallway, setting a tone of quality and comfort that continues throughout the home. Soft furnishings and carefully chosen tones add warmth and character to what is a genuinely inviting first impression.

Off the hallway, the sitting room offers a further space to relax, finished with a luxurious deep pile carpet and soft, elegant furnishings. A wall-mounted TV is CAT6 wired to the central hub, with integrated LED strip lighting and table lamps connected to the home hub, making the room as versatile as it is comfortable - equally suited to a quiet evening in or entertaining guests.

The main living room is a bright, double-aspect space with an elegant mantelpiece and a live-flame gas fire with realistic log-effect interior, operated by remote control. The main fibre internet hub and central house control systems are discreetly built in, and an integrated 5.1 surround sound system with ceiling speakers provides immersive audio without disrupting the room's clean lines. A charming and spacious room with a timeless feel, perfectly suited to relaxing evenings, entertaining guests and enjoying the home throughout the seasons. The living room flows naturally through to;

The open-plan dining area, where a large floor-to-ceiling triple window frames views over the garden and floor-to-ceiling bi-fold doors open onto the extensive patio, allowing the space to spill outside for al fresco dining. Warm white Brazilian porcelain flooring and zoned underfloor heating continue through, tying the dining and kitchen areas together as one light- filled, sociable space.

The kitchen is a bespoke, fully fitted design incorporating a breakfast bar in high-gloss cashmere cabinetry with quartz worktops and espresso-toned cabinet interiors and shelving, overlooking the garden and trees beyond. It's generously equipped, with two banks of integrated NEFF appliances including twin steam ovens, a microwave combination air fryer oven and plumbed-in coffee machine, alongside a five-ring NEFF gas hob and matching extractor. A large integrated fridge, a separate large integrated freezer and an integrated dishwasher. Quartz sinks with waste disposal, a Quooker boiling-water tap, and discreet electronic pop-up sockets with phone chargers built into the worktops add further everyday convenience, while an eye-level, wall-integrated Alexa hub controls various functions around the home. The lighting has been thoughtfully designed, with integrated LED illumination beneath the worktops, within the floor plinths and beneath the wall cupboards connected to the home hub for ease of operation and complemented by multiple recessed LED ceiling lights. Flowing through to the utility:

The elegant high-gloss cashmere cabinetry continues the sophisticated styling, with espresso coat hanger walls and a quartz seating plinth. The warm white Brazilian porcelain flooring with underfloor heating continues through. An integrated boiler, washing machine, tumble dryer and dustbins are all neatly concealed, and a door gives direct access to the patio.

The generous ground-floor double bedroom is fitted with be-spoke 'Hammond' wardrobes and furniture with large windows overlooking the rear garden.

A beautifully appointed modern bathroom, finished with stylish floor and wall tiles incorporating a generous rainfall shower and secondary handheld unit together with porcelain basin and WC. Underfloor zoned heating provides a touch of luxury and comfort, complemented by a large, heated towel rail, concealed LED lighting and a backlit wall mirror.

Upstairs, the landing has ample space for additional cabinetry or storage, making excellent use of the generous space.

The principal bedroom spans the width of the property, with double-aspect windows creating a bright, airy retreat. Fitted with be-spoke 'Hammond' wardrobes and furniture. The en-suite has a large walk-in shower, WC, wash hand basin unit and heated towel rail.

The third and fourth double bedrooms are similarly spacious, both fitted with be-spoke 'Hammond' wardrobes and furniture with wonderful views over the gardens.

Completing the accommodation is a large-appointed family bathroom with a showcase bath. Finished with a porcelain basin unit, separate shower, heated towel rail and WC.

Outside is a particularly attractive, completely level garden sweeping around the property and surrounded by mature trees, shrubs and established greenery, creating a private and secluded setting. The garden features an extensive patio area with glass balustrading, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, together with a generous lawn.

Each area of the garden benefits from its own dedicated external water tap and electric points, with additional external lighting thoughtfully positioned throughout the grounds, enhancing both the practicality and enjoyment of the outdoor space.

This is a home of real quality throughout, upgraded with genuine care and attention to detail, and best appreciated in person.
