SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION A spacious detached home in the highly sought-after location, offering extended living space, three bedrooms, beautiful gardens affording a high degree of privacy, seclusion and a coveted Southerly aspect. Located on Lower Warberry Road, Glenthorne is well positioned for easy access to Torquay town centre, harbour, seafront, and the amenities of Wellswood Village. The property is within the Warberries conservation area on a pretty hillside setting, largely consisting of detached villas in spacious grounds, amongst lush vegetation.
Torquay is located in the heart of the English Riviera famed for its mild climate and clear waters with a mild south-facing aspect, miles of sandy beaches and with the arrival of the railway in 1848 its growth as a holiday destination for the rich and famous was spectacular. The harbour, with its large marina, palm trees and subtropical gardens, elegant Georgian terraces, plus a myriad of bars and restaurants (one with Michelin-starred cuisine), remains the most attractive area.
ACCOMMODATION This charming property is accessed via a block-paved driveway, arranged over two floors offering a comfortable space to suit most requirements. The ground floor welcomes you with a convenient cloakroom and WC, leading to the front of the house where a well-appointed kitchen/dining room awaits. The kitchen boasts thoughtful design with eye level and matching base fitted units, integrated appliances and ample space for day-to-day dining with room for a table. A rear hallway provides access to a utility room and a door which connects to the rear of the garage for added convenience. Overlooking the lush back garden, the dining room sets the stage for formal gatherings, while the inviting sitting room features large windows and double doors opening to a decked terrace, seamlessly merging indoor and outdoor spaces. A gas effect fire adds warmth and charm, creating a cosy haven for relaxation. Ascend the staircase to the upper landing, bathed in natural light, where a front-facing double bedroom with an ensuite shower room awaits, complemented by another double bedroom with pleasant garden views and a single bedroom enjoying the scenic surroundings. The upper floor is completed by a well-appointed family bathroom.
