House For Sale £450,000
The property is situated in a sought-after conservation area. It looks out onto a park that overlooks Torbay in South Devon and has direct access to the South West Coast Path. It is in perfect keeping with its period past: Quality furnishings and a perfect home from home feel. It is located in a peaceful quiet area, with only a 10 minute walk into the harbour and the centre of Torquay, South Devon. Meadfoot Beach (Blue flagged), with its cafes and hotels are also just a 5 minute walk around the corner.
The cottage has been used as a second home/ holiday cottage since its purchase by the current vendor in 2005. Throughout the past two years, income from short term and holiday lets has been in the region of £25,000.
This cottage incorporates a lovely farmhouse style kitchen-breakfast room, complete with all period fittings, consistent with this 18th Century cottage. Installed are fitted period sold pine wall units, a pine dresser, Victorian plate rack, double Belfast sink, granite worktops, travertine floor tiles, built in dishwasher and ruby red Aga gas cooker.
Its contemporary bathroom has an unusual double basin sink, double person power shower and a deep "Duravit" bath. The property is serviced by a water softener built into the central heating system. Floor to ceiling mix of rustic large tiles and travertine floor tiles offers a modern, contemporary feel.
The lounge is a lovely light and airy space with a feature built in fireplace with gas fire and built in cupboards. This room offers open access via French doors to a sunny patio garden leading directly onto Daddyhole Plain, in front of the cottage.
An under-stairs cupboard housing a washing machine along with further storage. There is a boiler room with further storage at the rear.
Upstairs incorporates a very large double bedroom overlooking Daddyhole Plain, with 180 degrees views of the Torbay. The second bedroom is a twin bedroom overlooking the town. The front bedroom is spacious with two large sash windows so vendor advises this could easily be converted to a 3 bedroom cottage as the rest of the cottages in the row have now done.
All the cottage’s doors are stripped back to their original pine. The house is double glazed throughout.
There is allocated parking space right at the front of cottage on the cul-de-sac road, accessed through small courtyard garden laid to shrubs, patio stones, and gravel path.
At the rear of the cottage is a courtyard garden area with an interesting outhouse, traditionally the cottage’s old wash house and toilets. The outhouse is currently dismissed as 5 storerooms and the area and outhouse is shared with the cottage next door, presently owned by the same vendor. Two of the storerooms and half the patio area are owned by this cottage. We are advised by the vendor that there may be the opportunity to buy out this half with the full title of the rear garden and add this area and outhouse so that the whole area is owned by this cottage. This would be a under a separate transaction. Other cottages in the row have converted their outhouse to separate studios, artist rooms, or separate apartments / bedrooms some with kitchens and bathrooms as well. This would make an ideal second part of the cottage separate from main house, perhaps to be used as additional airbnb income or just studio apartment for extra accommodation or work purposes.
Torquay is one of three beautiful towns forming the sheltered Tor Bay and is renowned for a warm climate, clear bathing waters and clean air. Local beaches form a golden arc around the bay with shingle coves scattered nearby.
The town provides a wonderful quality of life with excellent shopping, waterside restaurants, a theatre and bars. Internationally renowned water sports are held in sheltered deep water bay, with a marina providing excellent mooring facilities for luxury yachts. South Devon's coastal path offer great walking, golf courses and the magnificent Dartmoor National Park.
Torquay itself became fashionable for naval officers and other affluent families during early 19th century, prompting building of large fashionable villas and exclusive hotels. Today, Torquay is well served with direct rail links to the major cities, motorway and airport at the cathedral city of Exeter.
With a micro-climate comparable to those found much further South and some 22 miles of coastline, cliffs, coves and beaches for you to enjoy, you'll soon understand why Torbay is also referred to as the English Riviera.
Stunning views are to be seen just about everywhere across the Bay, and in addition to the expected water sports of swimming, kayaking, paddle-boarding, surfing and boating, the coastline provides great places for diving, angling and crabbing.
The English Riviera is also part of the unesco Global Geopark which recognises and supports important wildlife areas around the world. Whether it's up at Berry Head Nature Reserve, Cockington Country Park, or Occombe Farm, the area offers brilliant woodland, cliff, and coastal paths to explore. The local charity Torbay Coast & Countryside Trust also organises a variety of opportunities to study the natural wildlife at your leisure.
The town is an ideal base for those also wanting to explore a bit further afield. Following the coastline to the West, you'll easily reach places like Brixham, Dartmouth, and Blackpool Sands while to the East, you'll find Teignmouth, Dawlish and just a bit further on Exmouth and Exeter, with stunning Dartmoor just beyond. Moreover, Cornwall is only an hour away (Tamar Bridge) with its beautiful north and south coastlines and world-famous attractions like the Eden Project.
Torquay train station is just 2 miles from the cottage. By road the A380 (South Devon Highway) brings you to within 3 miles of the cottage, this road is then linked to the M5 motorway.
