Situation

Situated in a commanding position with splendid views over Tor Bay and the English Channel, on the sunny and picturesque South Devon coast. Torquay is one of three beautiful towns forming the sheltered Tor Bay 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 quality of life for its residents with excellent shopping, waterside restaurants, a theatre and bars. Internationally renowned water sports are held in the sheltered deep water bay, with the marina providing excellent mooring facilities for luxury yachts and small motor cruisers. The area provides many scenic walks along south Devon's coastal footpaths, with local golf courses also nearby. A short distance to the north lies the magnificent Dartmoor National Park.
 
Torquay became fashionable for naval officers and other affluent families during the first half of the 19th century, which prompted the building of many large fashionable villas and exclusive hotels. Today, Torquay is well served with direct rail links to the major cities, a motorway network and airport at the nearby Cathedral City of Exeter.
 
The Gatehouse is a short jaunt from the harbour and marina with all its attractions, you will find a myriad of continental cafes, lively bars and fantastic restaurants offering international cuisine as well as showcasing the best of British food.

Description

This modern and luxurious family home enjoys far reaching marine views across Tor Bay. A private terrace and gardens are complemented by further communal grounds, private parking plus a generous and well-appointed interior round off this extremely comfortable home.
 
This property also benefits from income potential through holiday letting, although not used for this purpose currently, the owner has in the past let it as a 5 star holiday let.

Accommodation

The Gatehouse was constructed in 2009, in the grounds of an imposing Victorian Villa latterly converted into grand apartments. Architecturally designed along clean and simple lines; a modern interior is housed in a traditional looking shell which capitalises on the panoramic sea views. Constructed over two levels utilising the natural lie of the land, the property is accessed on the first floor with the bedroom accommodation found at this level. The generous reception accommodation is found on the ground floor.
 
The Gatehouse is accessed from its attractive brick paved parking area suitable for two motor vehicles, with further visitors parking and plenty of unmetered on street parking. Hiding behind the front door is an impressive south-facing hallway with a double storey arched window with views over the gardens and towards the sea. From this hallway there is access to the four bedrooms. Both the master and bedroom two have their own en-suite bathrooms and sea views. The further two bedrooms whilst being smaller are still very useable.
 
The bright and airy ground floor is akin to the rest of the property and is superbly presented. The flexible layout is extremely adaptable, there is a sizable drawing room which runs the length of the building, and French windows open onto the Sun Terrace which allows the sun to flood in and give views across the terrace and out to sea. The kitchen is of contemporary appearance with high gloss units under black granite worktops. This ergonomically designed space has a range of integrated appliances including dishwasher, fridge freezer and aeg microwave, integrated oven with four burner gas hob, above this is a stainless chimney and under-unit lighting. In front of the kitchen is a flexible space, which either would make a fine formal dining area or a more informal family area. Again there is access from the French windows to the sizable terrace and gardens.

Separating the kitchen and Drawing room is a laundry or utility room with the necessary plumbing for washing machine under black granite worktop and sink. A door leads through to the ground floor cloak room with WC and wash hand basin.

Garden & grounds

To the rear and accessed from the principal reception rooms is a surprisingly large terrace, perfect for alfresco dining, or enjoying a glass of something cold whilst watching the sun set over Tor Bay, here the panoramic views really are at their best. A stone staircase leads to a private garden area; a gate leads to the communal gardens.
 
Residents of the Gatehouse can enjoy full use of the communal grounds of Lyncourt.
 
There are steps from the grounds that lead down to Meadfoot Beach.
