Standing in a select cul-de-sac on the outskirts of Torquay at Great Hill, The Cedars, aptly named with the mature cedar trees to the approach, is a FINE DETACHED HOUSE commanding OPEN VIEWS from its elevated position over Torquay to the SEA. Presenting a beautiful home in one of Torquay's favoured districts, the property has been a loved home for our clients circa 27 years, affording versatile living space over three levels and extensive parking with double entry drive and double garage.

Great Hill is enviably located on the fringe of Torquay making easy access both in and out of the town. Local shops at Barton Hill Road as a matter of minutes away, with more comprehensive amenities found nearby at the Willows, home to a host of national stores including M&S, Sainsbury's, Boots and Next.

OWNERS INSIGHT

"We bought the house through John Lake in 1996 and it has been a very happy home for us with so many memories made. We will miss so much about the house, particularly the peaceful setting and wonderful views. We understand new owners will look at the house as a blank canvass, modernising to their own style, but the flexibility gives people options. We just hope the next family receive as much love and enjoyment as ourselves. Encouraged by our family, we know it is time to move being later in years and the three levels not ideal! We will be staying in Torquay, and can honestly say it has been a pleasure living in Overdale Close with lovely neighbours."
