Situation And Description - Located in the ever-popular St Marychurch and close to the dramatic Babbacombe Downs, this meticulously refurbished Victorian home is a unique residence providing easy access to everything the area has to offer. This three-bedroom residence exudes authentic Victorian allure, seamlessly blending period charm with modern conveniences, such as whole-house ventilation. Its prime location offers easy access to excellent schools, historic sites, the South West coastal path, scenic beauty spots, and a wealth of local shops and cafes, complemented by a beautifully landscaped, low-maintenance garden to the rear.
One of the oldest settlements in South Devon, St Marychurch is a highly sought after area of Torquay, benefitting from historic architecture, dominating church towers, and proximity to Babbacombe Bay, which offers attractions such as the Babbacombe Cliff Railway. The suburb has an independent store-lined high street, inviting restaurants and cafes, an eighteen hole golf course with views over Lyme Bay, and a myriad of family days out.
The town of Torquay provides a wonderful quality of life for its residents, with excellent shopping, waterside restaurants, bars, and several theatres. Internationally renowned water sports are held in the sheltered bay, with the marina providing excellent mooring facilities for luxury yachts and motor cruisers.

Accommodation - Upon arriving at the front door, it is clear that this house has been thoughtfully refurbished and restored to recreate the nature of an authentic Victorian home, while providing tasteful modern amenities for convenient living. High skirting boards, picture & dado rails, brass finishes, alcove shelving, bespoke wooden window frames and doors, and well-proportioned hallways and high ceilings feature throughout, resulting in a high-quality timeless design. Meanwhile, double glazing of all windows - with secondary acoustic glazing to the front windows to ensure peace and quiet is maintained - a practical and capable heating and hot water system, plus a Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery system, all combine to create a warm and welcoming home.
An inset doormat at both the front and side entrances allows for easy maintenance of the home, and there are two separate cloaks spaces with radiators - one cloakroom with shelving for shoes and miscellaneous equipment. From the front door, the hallway grants a view of the garden and provides a beautiful welcome to the home while providing a snapshot of all it has to offer. On this level is an accessible ground floor bedroom, a generous double with a dressing space hiding deceptive amounts of hanging and drawer storage, in addition to the alcove shelving to either side of the bed. If preferred, this space lends itself to use as a traditional ground floor lounge, with the cupboards available for media or general storage instead. To the rear of the home, with French doors opening to the garden is the spacious kitchen diner, benefitting from a separate utility space to allow the kitchen to be kept as a tidy entertaining area. The kitchen comprises ample cupboard storage space with display shelving above, built-in dishwasher, oven, gas hob with extractor hood over, stainless steel sink with inset drainer, built in fridge & freezer, and a breakfast bar, as well as space for a dining table. The utility room has space for a washing machine/dryer, more shelving for kitchen storage, and another sink to keep the washing-up out of sight. A family bathroom on the ground floor is fitted with natural flooring heated with electric underfloor heaters, and it benefits from separate bathtub and curved shower cubicle, WC, floating sink with lighted mirror above, electric chrome towel rail, and subtly hidden deep storage for bathroom essentials.
Stairs rise to the first floor where all the rooms are connected by a spacious hallway laid with classic parquet flooring. The lounge can be found to the front of the home, although it would make a wonderful principal bedroom, if desired. Two further double bedrooms both benefit from impressive built-in storage fitted with hanging poles and drawers, and wired-in wall lamps provide atmospheric bedroom lighting. The bedroom to the rear enjoys skylights, which flood the room with natural light, and is usefully fitted with automatic blackout blinds. Servicing the upstairs bedrooms is a shower room, fitted again with natural flooring heated underfoot, electric heated chrome towel rail, shower cubicle, WC, and sink with lighted mirror above.
Finally, an exceptional amount of additional storage space can be accessed via the ground floor hallway, with steps leading down to a heated cellar, with window for ventilation and a concrete floor.

Outside - From the front gate, a curved path with thoughtfully planted mature shrubs and a tree on either side leads up to an impressive panelled front door with brass fittings. To the rear of the home is a landscaped garden with tiles matching the kitchen flooring, allowing the two spaces to flow seamlessly out from one to the other. Vines, shrubs, and hedge border this paved and gravelled garden, which provides a relaxing and low-maintenance area for enjoying the outdoors or entertaining. Outdoor lighting is fitted for ease of enjoyment at all times of day.

Services - Mains water, drainage, gas and electricity. Gas central heating. Standard and Superfast Broadband supplied by Openreach available in the area. Mobile Networks available are Vodafone, EE and Three.

Viewing - Strictly by prior appointment with Stags on[use Contact Agent Button].
