DESCRIPTION Wide views over Occombe Woods and sea at Tor Bay with the stretching coastline to Brixham's Berry Head are just one attribute of this FINE DETACHED COASTAL HOME. Occupying a corner plot with extensive parking, the property affords versatile accommodation currently arranged as a two bedroom main home and SELF CONTAINED GARDEN LEVEL ANNEXE. Equally, the annexe remains connected to the principal living space and easily reverted to a four / five bedroom family house.

The picturesque Occombe Woods is virtually on the doorstep with connecting pathway adjoining the garden, whilst Preston Sands with its promenade and green lie at the base of the hill. Both Torquay and Paignton seafronts are equally accessible where sandy beaches, train stations, harbours and restaurants can be found. Torbay, as a cluster of neighbouring unique towns provides a wide range of leisure facilities including golf courses, theatres and host of sporting clubs to facilitate virtually every need. 

OWNERS' INSIGHT "Over our fifteen years we have changed and adapted the house to suit our needs, with the annexe providing a perfect independent space for our mum, and currently generating a additional income from holiday letting. The annexe can remain a self-contained space, but easily incorporated back into the main house if needed.

The elevated position means we are blessed with exceptional, ever changing views which we will miss immensely, although it does also mean we experience the changing weather! We have established various seating areas to relax and either follow the sun, or provide shelter.

We can honestly say both the location and neighbours are lovely, and the decision to move has been a difficult one to make. We will be staying local, but the time has come to downsize and let the next owners make similar wonderful memories to our own."
