House For Sale £725,000
Description Lincombe Lodge is a substantial four bedroom detached modern family home set in a tranquil, semi-rural location on the fringes of Torquay, providing extensive family living space arranged over two levels and enjoying far reaching views over both the rolling fields of the Maidencombe Valley as well as sea views across into Lyme Bay and along the East Devon coastline. The property benefits from a good sized gated parking area leading to an attached double garage, easily maintained lawned garden with paved terraces, all enabling enjoyment of the English Riviera sunshine.
The village of Maidencombe is serenely set between the coastal towns of Torquay and Teignmouth, both offering an array of amenities, leisure activities and mooring facilities. The market town of Newton Abbot is also easily accessible with railway station providing direct links to most major cities. The coastal road will also provide an easy commute to Exeter. Locally, fine dining at Orestone Manor or the traditional ambiance of a village pub can be enjoyed within close proximity with both Maidencombe Beach and the scenic South West Coastal Path within walking distance. Also nearby is the village of Stokeinteignhead with a highly regarded Primary School.
Owner insight "Lincombe Lodge has been an extremely happy home. We retired here 25 years ago as we just loved the tranquil setting and views over the sea and have thoroughly enjoyed every day of living here. Our family have also enjoyed life when visiting us here, with our children and grandchildren having loved their visits spending many happy holidays at the beach in Maidencombe."
"Everyone who visits always comments on the galleried landing and views from the lounge over the rolling countryside and across the bay to Exmouth. With 2 en-suite bedrooms downstairs it was ideal for visiting family in the early days, and more latterly as we became more elderly we have treated it as a bungalow!"
"There is a real community spirit in the lane and everyone looks out for each other. We have been grateful to have had such wonderful neighbours and shall really miss this when we move although now feel that it is time to move to be closer to family. It will be a big wrench to leave this house that has been a happy home for so many years but this will give any new owner the opportunity of enjoying all of the benefits that Lincombe Lodge offers."
