Wellswood, Torquay

Set back from the road, Barwood Mews is a beautifully presented home, forming one of just three properties arranged around an attractive courtyard setting. The property enjoys a desirable position within the prestigious Warberries Conservation Area, nestled on the wooded hillside above Torquay’s picturesque harbour and marina.  Behind its discreet façade, the property reveals well-proportioned accommodation finished in a contemporary style. The generously sized sitting room opens into a stylish, high-gloss white kitchen, whilst also leading through to a conservatory overlooking the private rear garden. To the first floor are the two bedrooms and family bathroom, with the principal bedroom enjoying pleasant views across the surrounding tree-lined hillside. Outside, the property is further complemented by off-road parking for two vehicles and an enclosed, low-maintenance rear garden, which benefits from a desirable south-westerly aspect.

The ever-popular village of Wellswood is just a pleasant stroll away, retaining a charming village atmosphere and providing an excellent range of everyday amenities. These include a Co-op, delicatessen, travel agent, Post Office, Portofino Italian bar and restaurant, and the popular Kents pub. The area is also well served by the highly regarded Ilsham Church of England Primary School and the well-supported St Matthias Church.  For those who enjoy the outdoors, picturesque walks through the beautiful Ilsham Valley lead towards Meadfoot Beach, whilst the South West Coast Path provides further scenic routes to Daddyhole Plain, Torquay Harbour and the seafront.

OWNERS INSIGHT

"There are many things we have enjoyed about living here in Barwood Mews. The views down the valley, the south west light and our very private garden amongst the surrounding greenery. As well as the wonderful walks right outside our door including Meadfoot Beach, Daddyhole Plain, Stoodley Meadow and the marina, having Wellswood Village with all its amenities just a short stroll away has been such a bonus."
