Set discreetly behind a traditional stone wall within Torquay's sought-after Warberries Conservation Area, Copse Cottage is a beautifully restored period home, thoughtfully reimagined from the former coach house to the adjacent Victorian villa. Now offering four bedrooms and three en-suite shower rooms, the accommodation has been tastefully upgraded to create an elegant balance of heritage character and contemporary living, with flexible reception space and an easy connection to the outdoors.

A particular highlight is the property's excellent provision for parking and storage: secure gated parking is complemented by a pergola-style car port, while the detached garage/workshop provides impressive versatility-ideal for hobbies, working from home, or reinstating as garage, and with scope (subject to any necessary consents) for alternative uses. Courtyard-style gardens wrap around the house to form private, low-maintenance seating areas, including a sunny south/west-facing terrace perfectly suited to entertaining.

Conveniently positioned for the village-style amenities of Wellswood, and within easy reach of Torquay's harbourside, Meadfoot Beach and Anstey's Cove, this is a unique freehold home combining privacy, practicality and an enviable coastal lifestyle.

Rooms

The Approach
Approached via a secure pedestrian gate, Copse Cottage is set behind a traditional stone wall and opens into a charming courtyard garden that immediately sets a private and welcoming tone. The front door leads into an inviting reception area, providing an excellent practical introduction to the home, with access through to the utility room and onwards into the main living accommodation.

Living Room & Dining Room
The living/dining room is a generous and elegant space, enhanced by a feature corniced ceiling and a dual aspect that draws in an abundance of natural light throughout the day. The room is currently arranged with a comfortable seating area centred around the fireplace, with ample space for a large dining table, ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike. A deep storage cupboard adds practicality, while double doors open directly onto the rear garden terrace, creating a wonderful indoor/outdoor flow.

Kitchen & Utility Space
The kitchen & breakfast room is impressively proportioned and designed as a sociable hub of the home. Fitted with a wide range of wall and base units and complemented by granite worktops, it incorporates integrated appliances and a breakfast-style division that naturally defines the cooking and dining/casual seating areas. A lantern-style rooflight, together with windows to three sides, floods the room with natural daylight, while double French doors provide direct access to the south-facing terrace. A separate utility room adds valuable functionality, keeping laundry and household tasks neatly out of sight and maintaining the clean lines of the main kitchen space.

Ground Floor Bedroom Suite
The ground floor offers a highly versatile bedroom suite, ideal for guests, multi-generational living or those seeking a degree of single-level accommodation. The bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and is served by a contemporary shower room arranged with Jack-and-Jill access, allowing it to be used either as an en-suite or conveniently accessed from the hallway without passing through the bedroom, convenient for visiting guests. The adjoining inner hall also provides useful hanging space and access back out to the rear garden terrace.

First Floor Bedroom Suites
Stairs rise to the first floor where partially vaulted ceilings enhance the property’s period charm and character. The layout provides three further bedrooms, including a bright guest room with windows to two aspects and a modern en-suite shower room. The principal bedroom is positioned to enjoy leafy outlooks over the surrounding area. It is complemented by built-in double wardrobes and a beautifully appointed en-suite featuring twin basins set within a vanity unit and a double-width walk-in shower. A further bedroom completes the level, enjoying pleasant views and additional built-in storage, offering excellent flexibility for family use, home working or occasional guests.

Landscaped Gardens & Sun Terraces
Copse Cottage is complemented by courtyard-style gardens that have been thoughtfully arranged to maximise enjoyment while remaining easy to maintain. High stone boundary walls, mature planting and carefully positioned seating areas create a strong sense of privacy, with outside space flowing naturally around the house providing distinct zones for entertaining. To the front, the entrance courtyard offers an inviting first impression, with a discreet purpose-built bin store, established borders and an area of artificial lawn alongside a terrace. A pathway continues around the house, where the traditional stone wall provides a charming backdrop for mature flowering shrubs. This leads through to the double automated gates and brick-paved driveway. To the rear and side, a generous south-facing sun terrace forms a wonderful outdoor extension of the living space, suitable for summer gatherings, while a raised flagstone dining area provides a more sheltered setting for al fresco dining.

Garage, Workshop & Secure Parking
A substantial detached garage, currently utilised as an excellent workshop, is accessed via French doors and benefits from windows overlooking the garden. This versatile space could be reinstated as garage if required, or, subject to any necessary consents, offers potential for alternative use. In addition, a pergola-style structure provides a highly useful car port, doubling as a covered outdoor space that comes into its own during the ever-changing British weather. Secure gated parking completes the picture, making this an unusually well-appointed home for both lifestyle and convenience.
