Woodend is the first of three detached villas and occupies a prime location on Lincombe Drive; one best in roads in "The Lincombes" area of Torquay. It is a quiet tranquil location boasting some of the finest coastal views across Tor Bay but also within easy reach of the Marina and further amenities of the town centre. This well regarded road was popular with Victorian builders for its south facing aspect and stunning sea views.
Torquay is one of 3 wonderful towns forming the sheltered Tor Bay coast and is renowned for the warm climate, clear bathing waters and clean air. There are numerous local beaches forming a golden arc around the coast. Walking out of a gate in the garden, you reach the blue flagged Meadfoot beach, popular with locals with lovely cafe and water sports facilities. Hesketh Cresent is a 5 minute walk; this houses the prestigious Osbourne Hotel, with a private spa and indoor pool. The Osbourne has a fine restaurant with terrace and BBQ/ outside bar overlooking Meadfoot beach. The seafront and marina is also a short distance away famous for year round water sports. Torquay train station is a 1.5 miles away linking up with the main line from Penzance to London. For education, Torquay boys and girls grammar schools are nearby as well as a number of well-regarded state and private sector schools.
Woodend plot benefits from extensive gardens and terraces terraces lined with fruit trees; perfect for a walk and relax. A large lawned area further down the garden is available for ball games or more privacy. An original and restored 1930's red telephone box sits next to the terracing over looking the sea.
The main villa has 6 double bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and 3 principal reception rooms, together with a thoughtfully designed bespoke kitchen breakfast room. The kitchen leads onto outdoor entertainment area with 11 metre infinity edged pool, decking, an outdoor bar and jacuzzi. The 2 main reception rooms are linked with pocket sliding doors to provide a 11 metre reception space, which leads to a 1000 sq feet patio area overlooking the sea. With original features like working shutters in rooms, fire places, plaster cornices plus a grand staircase, this property is a exception example of true Victorian heritage.
Woodend Cottage, is the old coach house with original 9 feet historical doors intact on facia. It has an unusual layout with spacious accommodation for versatile use, an open plan lounge dining room onto kitchen with downstairs WC. French doors to courtyard garden. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Outside space access upstairs from bedrooms to a lovely terrace with views overlooking the grounds to the sea beyond. Kimberley is the old servants quarters, it has 2 bedrooms, an en-suite bathroom and two reception rooms. In addition to these two self contained cottages, the main villa basement is currently arranged as a 1 bedroomed flat, with additional storage rooms and is linked to the villa by an internal staircase. The main villa also has a versatile separated annexed flat with separate kitchen and bathroom, this space is directly accessed from the villa.
The current vendors looked at the feasibility to build property in the lower part of the garden, a level area believed to have been a tennis court in the past (with road access proposed to Hesketh). An outline scheme was proposed with plans and reports ready for submission to local authority for planning permission. Prospective buyers should make their own enquiries, however we can provide further details of the plans upon request.
