Danby Heights is an exclusive development quietly located in a beautifully leafy area, within easy reach of the amenities in Wellswood village, as well as the restaurants, cafes, and bars of the bustling Torquay harbourside. Set in an elevated position above Meadfoot Beach - once Agatha Christies' favourite place to swim - a lovely wooded walk from the property leads to the blue flag awarded beach.
Torquay is one of three beautiful towns forming the sheltered Tor Bay and is renowned for the warm climate, clear bathing waters and clean air. The local beaches form a golden arc around the bay with shingle coves scattered nearby. The town provides a wonderful quality of life for its residents with excellent shopping, waterside restaurants, a theatre and bars. Internationally renowned water sports are held in the sheltered bay, with the marina providing excellent mooring facilities for luxury yachts and motor cruisers. The area provides many scenic walks along south Devon's coastal footpaths, with local golf courses also nearby.

On the first floor is a stylish south-facing sitting room with patio doors showcasing the stunning view over the Bay. Wood panelling on both sides of the room pulls in the natural surroundings to the room while also hiding useful storage cupboards on one side of the room, and shelving with recessed above provides a wonderful place to showcase books/objects and bring colour into the room.

For convenience while entertaining, this level also houses a well-presented WC with basin. Two large cupboards on the first floor landing provide excellent storage or utility spaces if desired.
