House For Sale £800,000
Description Set behind mature hedging and a sweeping gated drive in the heart of Wellswood, Woodbury is a fine grade II listed victorian detached residence currently arranged as two independent apartments, yet internally connected and presenting a property of great versatility. The property would admirably suit an extended family, those seeking a prestigious home with income potential, or reinstatement to one exceptional house (subject to any required consents).
Wellswood 'village' is a mere saunter away, catering for virtually every need to include a comprehensive selection of shops, Coop, delicatessen, travel agent, post office, pub, restaurants, highly regarded Ilsham Primary School and well supported St Matthias Church. Walks through the nearby picturesque Ilsham Valley lead on to Meadfoot Beach, whilst Torquay's harbour, Marina and sea front promenade are found at the base of the hill.
Owners' insight "Woodbury was built for The Reverend Kitson circa 1864 and since then has seen a variety of uses including a hospital, hotel and offices. For the last 20 years it has provided a wonderful cherished home and holiday accommodation for grandparents down to great grandchildren.
The secluded gated driveway leads up to the breathtakingly beautiful house which benefits from its own private enclosed grounds ensuring children of all ages stay safe whilst they play and explore.
Numerous amenities are on the doorstep and within minutes you can be sat by the harbour side enjoying a coffee and bite to eat.
It will be a very emotional departure from this warm and inviting home. It has been a privilege to have owned and enjoyed all that Woodbury has had to offer over the years."
