DESCRIPTION This DETACHED COTTAGE stands in a wooded setting adjoining the Warberry Copse, at the top of the prestigious Warberries hillside. Built circa 2009 in a character design to blend with its period neighbours, the property tastefully fuses the conveniences you would expect from a modern home. The interior is complemented outside with driveway parking and gardens which wrap around to the rear with compact terrace directly outside the principal room which overlooks the lower main garden.

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, and well supported St Matthias Church. 

SELLER'S INSIGHT "Gullivers Rest was my dad's little sanctuary, a place he could relax and enjoy time pottering in the garden. Bordering the woodland, you can waste a day watching the wildlife with squirrels playing and birds feeding. Warberry Primary School is close by, and it is lovely hearing the children playing, but equally incredibly quiet outside schools hours and holidays.

Dad was a keen walker and often took the winding Victorian pathways near the cottage which meander through the Warberries toward the South Devon coast paths, Torquay Harbour, and Meadfoot Beach."
