House For Sale £495,000
Description Nestled within the prestigious Warberries Conservation Area, on one of Torquay renowned seven hills, the coach house is aptly named, being the former coach house of the adjoining Victorian Villa, and offers an individual character home providing spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors which enjoys sea and coastal views into Tor Bay from the principal accommodation found to the first floor level. Set behind a pair of high wooden gates the property enjoys a good deal of privacy, with an attractive sheltered cobbled courtyard and balcony providing ideal outdoor relaxation space.
The Warberries is enviably placed above Torquay's harbour and yacht marina found at the base of the hill, whilst Wellswood with its village ambience is located approximately half a mile distance offering a delightful range of shops, bistro restaurants, local pub and well supported St Matthias Church. The popular primary schools of Warberry and Ilsham are also easily accessible.
Owners insight "Having been born and raised in Torbay it is an area that is very dear to my heart and when I had to move away for work I always vowed that I would return as soon as I was able. As soon the opportunity to 'come back to my roots' arose I grasped it and have never regretted it for one minute. Due to knowing the area extremely well I knew that the Warberries was the ideal area for what I needed, not only is it a picturesque and tranquil setting, it is also quite easily accessible to the amenities of Torquay, the picturesque harbourside and seafront, and also to the facilities in nearby Wellswood, all of which I still regularly frequent. When I viewed The Coach House I immediately knew that I had found my new home. It provided me with a wealth of accommodation which was also extremely versatile to adapt to my changing needs and was an intriguing, individual home that I could picture myself living in and I knew that I would never be able to replicate it anywhere else.
After spending approximately 30 years living here and enjoying my beautiful home I now feel that the time is right for me to move on to be closer to my family. I will leave The Coach House with a wealth of happy memories and give any new owners the opportunity of creating theirs."
