DESCRIPTION This impressive double fronted Victorian family home is a true hidden gem, nestled privately in the desirable residential suburb of Chelston, Torquay. The property is conveniently situated within walking distance of local shops, mainline train station and Torquay seafront promenade, with its array of restaurants, shops and theatre. Cockington country park and highly regarded Torquay Grammar schools and primary schools of Cockington and Sherwell Valley are also within close proximity. Arterial roads to Newton Abbot, Exeter and Plymouth are easily accessible, making this the perfect location from which to explore all that the English Riviera has to offer!

The property itself is full of character and is accessed from the front through a beautifully landscaped garden. The reception hall sits in the centre of the home with stairway rising to the first floor, with a useful office space under, and hallway providing access into the principal rooms, boiler cupboard and door leading out to the rear driveway/courtyard. The large bay fronted and dual aspect sitting room sits at one side of the reception hall and benefits from a feature fireplace with fitted living flame gas fire. The dining room also benefits from a feature fireplace and walk-in bay window with an opening and breakfast bar through to the kitchen, which is fully equipped with a range of wall, base and drawer units with space for four ring gas cooker and appliances, a perfect space for the modern family. A useful third reception room leads from the kitchen area with door to the rear and beautiful lantern style skylight. This room is currently a blank canvas for the new owner to put their stamp on. It would make a great home office, art/craft/fitness studio, children’s playroom, sunroom or additional bedroom. Also to the ground floor level is a separate utility room, store room and cloakroom/WC.

To the first floor the master and second bedroom lead off the large landing and both enjoy walk-in bay windows with far reaching views over the attractive gardens and surrounding area towards St Marychurch. The master bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom, comprising panelled P-shaped bath with shower over, low level WC and sink set in vanity unit. Two further double bedrooms sit at the rear of the property, along with a family bath/shower room comprising a panelled bath, separate shower cubicle, pedestal wash basin and low level WC, with additional WC next door. Completing the first floor level are two good sized storage/linen cupboards and hatch to roof void, which has been boarded and has a Velux window (a large storage space the width of the house).

Outside, a pathway leads up one side of Ashfield Gardens, which is laid to lawn with mature trees throughout, to a private gate into the property. A path leads to the main entrance through the beautifully landscaped gardens – a credit to its current owners! The garden comprises several seating areas throughout laid to decking, paved patio and loose stone and incorporates an array of shrubs and flower beds throughout with feature pond and herb garden. Enclosed by hedging and fencing, and bordering Ashfield Gardens, this home offers a great deal of privacy and seclusion. A timber gate, to one side of the property, leads to the rear courtyard driveway which has vehicular access from Huxtable hill and provides off road parking for several vehicles as well as a car port.

Internal inspection of this rarely available home comes highly recommended to fully appreciate the accommodation on offer!
