St Marychurch, Torquay

This MODERN TOWN HOUSE stands in the sought after district of St Marychurch, enjoying attractive open views from the upper levels across neighbouring rooftops towards Torquay Golf Course, Brunel Woodland and Great Hill. Constructed by respected local builders Messrs McCarthy Contractors, the property has been cherished by our clients' family since 2014. The versatile accommodation unfolds across three levels, crowned with a striking principal bedroom suite occupying the whole of the upper floor. Further features include an allocated parking space within a secure, electrically gated parking area, together with a low maintenance paved garden.

St Marychurch is widely regarded as one of Torquay’s most desirable residential districts, with its charming pedestrianised shopping precinct, excellent range of independent shops and amenities, churches and Torquay Golf Club all within a short stroll. Beyond the village centre lies the picturesque Babbacombe Downs, renowned for its spectacular coastal scenery, with the sheltered beaches of Oddicombe and Babbacombe below, reached via winding wooded pathways or the historic Babbacombe Cliff Railway.

OWNER'S INSIGHT

“Our family have owned the house since 2014, and over the years it has provided us with a wonderful place to spend time together in Devon. More recently, it has become something of a retreat, somewhere we can escape to, relax and enjoy everything this beautiful part of the country has to offer. We have always appreciated the convenience of St Marychurch, with its shops, amenities and lovely coastal walks so close by, while the secure parking and low maintenance garden make the house particularly easy to enjoy. It has been a much loved home for our family, and we hope its next owners will enjoy it just as much as we have.”
