About this home

HS Owen Estate Agents are proud to present this substantial and exceptionally versatile detached residence, enviably positioned just moments from Torquay Harbour. This impressive home offers an abundance of beautifully proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire an elegant coastal residence of remarkable flexibility and scale. Perfectly suited to large or multi-generational families, lifestyle movers or those seeking adaptable living arrangements, the property blends character, practicality and generous proportions throughout. Upon entering the ground floor, you are welcomed by a spacious open reception hall incorporating an inviting snug area — a superb central hub that immediately sets the tone for the home. The elegant bay-fronted living room provides a refined yet comfortable setting for relaxation, whilst the impressive bay-fronted kitchen/dining room offers an ideal environment for both everyday family life and entertaining on a grander scale. Further enhancing the ground floor is a utility room and a second sitting room, which could equally serve as a ground floor bedroom if required. Three additional highly adaptable rooms provide exceptional flexibility, whether utilised as bedrooms, reception rooms, home offices or hobby spaces. Two benefit from adjoining WCs, while a third enjoys its own en-suite bathroom. A well-appointed family bathroom completes this level. The lower ground floor provides excellent ancillary accommodation, including a storage room, open storage area, bathroom and a substantial multi-purpose room. This expansive space would lend itself perfectly to a private cinema room, gymnasium, additional bedroom suite or further reception area, depending on individual requirements. Occupying the top floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite facilities. A stylish family bathroom serves the remaining rooms, and one of the bedrooms further benefits from a dedicated dressing room, adding both refinement and practicality.

Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front, a generous driveway provides ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles. To the rear lies a truly spectacular level garden — a rare and highly desirable feature in this coastal setting. Lovingly cultivated and thoughtfully developed over many years, the garden enjoys an expansive lawn bordered by mature planting and a vibrant array of decorative shrubs and flowers. At the foot of the garden, a charming pond and established chicken coop create a distinctive lifestyle element rarely found so close to the waterfront. A home of genuine substance and adaptability, positioned within one of Torquay’s most sought-after coastal settings, and early viewing is highly recommended.

The property occupies a prime waterfront position in Torquay, just a short and level stroll from the vibrant harbourside, renowned for its excellent selection of restaurants, cafés, boutique shops and leisure amenities. The Strand provides convenient public transport links with regular bus services connecting to a variety of destinations, while Torquay railway station is approximately one mile away along the scenic seafront. Torquay is celebrated for its picturesque coastline and wealth of attractions, including the Princess Theatre, Kents Cavern and Babbacombe Model Village. A variety of beaches cater for both those seeking relaxed seaside enjoyment and water sports enthusiasts alike, and the town proudly hosts annual powerboat racing events. The South Devon Highway provides improved connectivity to the A38, offering a convenient route to Exeter in approximately 30 minutes, making the property ideally positioned for both coastal lifestyle and onward travel.
