House For Sale £550,000
La Petite Maison proves good things come in small packages. This bespoke DETACHED BUNGALOW has been constructed in 2020 in the style of a CONTEMPORARY COACH HOUSE, sympathetic to the conservation area in which it sits and sheltered behind a natural stone wall. Opening the gate into the courtyard setting, the property has been built with striking curved façade to maximise both design and the southerly aspect, with the bright and beautifully appointed accommodation complimented with low maintenance gardens and driveway parking.
Situated on the prestigious Warberries hillside, a host of picturesque walks are enjoyed nearby toward Anstey's Cove, Meadfoot Beach or Torquay's harbour at the base of the hill. Wellswood with its 'village' ambiance is a saunter away boasting a selection of shops, Coop, delicatessen, pharmacy, post office, pub, restaurants, Ilsham Primary School and well supported St Matthias Church.

OWNERS INSIGHT
"During lockdown we needed a project and La Petite Maison was the perfect blank canvas for us to put our stamp on. The building itself had been beautifully built and so we set to work making it into a home. Every room needed our attention and we are delighted with the result, from the new kitchen to the contemporary feature fireplace to the storage cupboards. Unfortunately now we have to return to Dorset but will always remember La Petite Maison with fondness for the interest it gave us when times were difficult."
