Situation

Located in the heart of the English Rivera famed for its mild climate and crystal clear waters interspersed with palm fringed sandy beaches. This grand anchorage was favoured by the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars and Torquay soon benefited from their presence as smart houses were built to accommodate the officers.
 
With a mild south-facing aspect, miles of sandy beaches and the arrival of the railway in 1848 Torquay's growth as a holiday destination for the rich and famous was spectacular. Tor Bay was chosen for the 1948 Olympic sailing events hosted by the Royal Torbay Yacht Club. The harbour, with its large marina, palm trees and subtropical gardens, elegant Georgian terraces, as well as a myriad of bars and restaurants, one with Michelin-starred cuisine, remains the most attractive area.

Description

Set in nearly two acres of beautiful communal gardens this terrific grade II* listed town house was constructed in the 1830's to the designs of the Harvey brothers and based on the Regency developments of the time in both London and Brighton. Constructed over two levels and stuccoed under a slate roof, this desperately pretty terrace is arranged around a private park for the exclusive use of the residents. The spacious accommodation is beautifully presented and offers flexible accommodation, extending to in excess of three thousand square feet of comfortable living which could also offer annexe potential.

Accommodation

Situated in a quiet and exclusive residential road in one of the most favoured areas of Torquay, Wellswood Park is a fine example of a superior townhouse. The relationship between the houses and park is an exceptionally attractive example of suburban design. On entering the house, one immediately senses the precise attention to detail of the present owners. The quality is revealed as you pass from room to room and this quality is endorsed by the appropriate decorative style and appealing interior design. The drawing room, dining room and kitchen/breakfast rooms are all elegant, with ornate period features.
 
This substantial period family home benefits from an abundance of reception accommodation that is in keeping with the rest of the property. There is also a basement that offers valuable storage space.
 
The principal bedrooms are on the first floor with a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, three further bedrooms, a family bathroom and shower room plus linen room. Previously bedroom 4, the library and the linen room formed a self contained apartment which was accessed separately from the main house; this could be easily reinstated if required.

Garden & grounds

A small but beautifully formed and recently landscaped private garden faces onto the park, which gives a rather grand feeling of countryside living and yet being a short distance from the town and coast.
 
Unlimited on street parking compliments a brace of double garages, both with electronic roller shutter doors, which are located directly opposite the front door of the property and benefit from power, water and light.
