5 bedroom detached house

DESCRIPTION Guide Price £800,000 - £850,000
* CHAIN FREE * A wonderful opportunity to own a striking and substantial Spanish style detached Villa, occupying a large plot with over 4,000 square feet of accommodation and offering huge potential as a family home with income! The property itself, which is being offered for sale CHAIN FREE, is located within walking distance of many beaches as well as the English Riviera's famous South West Coast Path, offering stunning sea views across the Bay. Nearby Wellswood Village and Babbacombe, each with their own community high streets and amenities, are both within easy reach and Torquay town centre and Harbourside, with its array of restaurants, bars, theatre and mainline train station, is a five minute drive away, making this the perfect location from which to explore all that the English Riviera has to offer!

The Villa is approached via a private gated driveway, shared with just one other property, and leads to a large parking area with access to two large double garages, workshop area, with potential to extend the garages substantially to the rear - perfect for any car enthusiasts! and additional living accommodation, currently arranged as an open plan kitchen/living area with part double glazed ceiling, bedroom, bathroom and hallway with staircase leading up to the main accommodation. This lower level, with its own private external entrance and small garden area to the front, would make an ideal self-contained annexe/holiday apartment or the perfect home office/entertainment space, depending on the family's requirements.

The main accommodation is accessed from the front, via steps from the parking area up to an extensive paved sun terrace with feature metal balustrading, external lighting and canopied arches, offering a great deal of privacy and encompassing a real 'Mediterranean' feel! All the principal rooms on this upper ground floor level lead off a welcoming split level reception hall with marble flooring and comprise a lovely light sitting room, with window to one side and glazed sliding doors, leading out to the sun terrace. A further reception room, currently used as an office/snug, also benefits from a front aspect, and provides access to a utility area with stairs leading down to the lower ground floor level. Stairs lead up from the reception hall to a mezzanine area, providing access to the dining room, which overlooks the rear garden, and a fantastic open plan kitchen/breakfast/family room, before continuing up to the first floor level. It is worth noting that, if required, the office/snug and dining room could be reconfigured as additional bedrooms and used in conjunction with the self-contained annex as an Airbnb offering - a venture that the current owner has already achieved success with. The kitchen/breakfast/family room is a particular feature of the property, having been designed for entertaining in mind, with plenty of high quality cream wall, base and drawer units with solid oak work surfaces, a 4m bespoke handmade matching central island and seating area. Glazed sliding doors lead from the kitchen to an enclosed rear paved patio with built-in wood store and pizza oven - perfect for al fresco dining!

To the first floor all the principal rooms lead off the galleried landing and comprises a substantial master wing with an ensuite double bedroom, large walk-in wardrobe and glazed sliding doors leading out to a private balcony. There are three further double bedrooms, one with ensuite bathroom and private balcony. Completing this floor is a family bath/shower room. There is potential to create further accommodation, if required, by converting the two large loft spaces, subject to the usual building and planning consents.

Outside, to the front of the property, there is a loose stone seating area and steps leading up to the terrace and main entrance. The rear garden is laid to a paved patio entertaining area (leading from the kitchen) with steps up to a further landscaped garden, predominantly laid to lawn and well stocked with mature flowers, shrubs and feature palms. A further patio area with power and light provides a great space for additional seating to the outside bar or the perfect spot to install a hot tub, steps continue up the garden to an elevated covered timber structure with timber decked flooring. The garden is enclosed by timber fencing and wooded areas, offering a great deal of privacy.

Internal inspection of this superb family home is essential to fully appreciate the versatility it offers - whether it be a home with income, multi-generational living or just a haven in which to work from home - all set within a prestigious location. The choice is yours!
