The Old Rectory on St Marks Road is a fine example of Edwardian craftsmanship with a striking look and a beautiful symmetry. Positioned on a great sized plot offering new owners an abundance of living space and grounds. This house is the perfect opportunity to own a unique home close to some of Torquay’s most prized beauty spots. The home was constructed in 1934 as the former rectory for St Marks church in Meadfoot which is now home to the little theatre.

The current owners have loved living at The Old Rectory for over 20 years, during their time have raised a family and spent many hours enjoying long walks on Daddyhole Plain, Meadfoot beach and The Southwest coast path which is all within a few minutes walk of the property.

The residence is approached via fully electric gates which lead to a sweeping driveway with ample parking for at least 5 vehicles and a double garage tucked away to the left of the house. Welcoming you inside is an array of character and charm which is intertwined throughout the home, which has approximately 4000 sqft of living space. The whole of the downstairs layout is designed for comfortable family living with generous proportioned rooms and versatile living spaces which can be adapted to suit all varieties of modern living. From the large welcoming reception hallway the house flows enjoyably and simply throughout. There is a large study, reception room with access to the garden, a spacious lounge/dining room, large kitchen breakfast room, a separate utility room and downstairs cloakroom/WC area make up the ground floor arrangements.

On the first floor accessed from the large galleried landing there are a further 6 ample sized bedrooms with 2 bathroom/shower rooms and a separate WC. The current owners have created a most spacious principal suite on the second floor which has an abundance of storage, large en-suite and could easily be used as a self contained studio and offers flexibility for new owners. This is a most generous light filled room with sky lights galore and an original mullion window.

Outside, the grounds wrap around the property and offer privacy and plenty of space for families to enjoy mainly consisting of large lawned areas and patios. There are garden sheds and an original stone potting shed in the corner of the grounds.

* Agents note * - the existing double garage has historic planning to convert into a large building with a ground floor workshop and mezzanine floor above. There is also scope to extend the plot for additional gardens and parking due to ownership of a parcel of land which belongs to The Old Rectory which is available.
