Property description
The gracious lifestyle of a bygone age has been sympathetically retained within this exquisite grade II listed period villa with opulent accommodation centred around a striking staircase and flowing through the principle rooms onto the southerly facing terrace and lawned garden. Set privately behind automated gates, the property has benefited form a comprehensive programme of refurbishment over recent years and enjoys open views towards Torbay. In addition to the main living space is a self contained flat, double garaging and cellarage.
Ben Venue occupies a sunny position on the wooded hillside of the Warberries, one of Torquay's most prestigious addresses. The harbourside, yacht marina and town centre can be found at the base of the hill and the popular amenities at nearby Wellswood provide a village ambiance.
An option is available to purchase the adjoining "Lemon Tree Cottage" under separate negotiation, and would be ideally suited for a dependent relative or quality rental investment.
Situated on the picturesque South Devon coast, Torquay is one of three beautiful towns forming the sheltered Torbay and is renowned for the warm climate, clear bathing waters and clean air. The local beaches form a golden arc around the bay with shingle coves scattered nearby.
The town provides a wonderful selection of leisure facilities ranging from excellent shopping, waterside restaurants, theatre and nightclubs through to comprehensive water sports, golf and scenic walks along South Devon's coastal footpaths. Torquay is also favoured with deep water mooring facilities at the marina.
The cities of Exeter and Plymouth are also easily accessible from Torquay and approximately 12 miles to the north lies the magnificent Dartmoor National Park.
Torquay's train station is just one stop from the main line Newton Abbot Station with direct links to the major cities. From Exeter (approx 21 miles) the M5 connects the South West with Bristol which continues to the Midlands and the M4 can be joined leading to London. Exeter's airport provides an ever increasing selection of both UK and international flights whilst cross Channel ferry services to Brittany and northern Spain are available from Plymouth.
