Lincombes, Torquay, TQ1 2HR

This COASTAL TOWN HOUSE commands sweeping views across the wooded Lincombes hillside towards the sea, forming part of a small development of calibre homes tucked away in a private close off prestigious Lincombe Drive. The versatile accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to capitalise on the striking outlook, with an impressive DOUBLE HEIGHT SITTING ROOM set on the upper level and opening onto a sheltered balcony, where the finest southerly views extend across the treetops towards the sea. FOUR VERSATILE BEDROOMS are arranged across the two lower floors, with a further balcony providing another vantage point from which to enjoy the setting. A sunny garden creates an appealing private retreat, whilst a garage and double parking area provide ample space to the front. Danby Heights Close is enviably tucked away from the hustle and bustle in a peaceful setting on the wooded Lincombes hillside, yet remains just a short saunter from the vibrant waterside bars and restaurants, Princess Theatre and array of leisure activities around Torquay’s harbour. Winding Lincombe Drive leads towards Wellswood with its appealing ‘village’ ambience, whilst nearby woodland provides a picturesque route through Ilsham Valley towards Meadfoot Beach.

EPC Rating: C SELLERS' INSIGHT “We have thoroughly enjoyed making this house our home since 2013. What first attracted us was the peaceful setting and, of course, those wonderful views across the trees towards the sea – something we still never tire of. The house has been a lovely place to live, with plenty of space when family and friends visit, while the balconies and garden are wonderful spots to sit and enjoy the sunshine and surroundings. We particularly appreciate how private and tranquil it feels here, yet Wellswood, Meadfoot and the harbour are all within such easy reach. After many happy years, we now feel the time is right to downsize, and we hope the next owners will enjoy the house and its special setting every bit as much as we have.” STEP INSIDE A block paved driveway leads to the double glazed entrance porch, with a panelled inner door, fanlight and glazed side screens opening to the RECEPTION HALL.
