2 bed cottage for sale

Wellswood, Torquay TQ1

Located in the Warberries Conservation area, Glengariffe is an extended Victorian Villa converted into ten separate properties in the 1980’s. This reverse level cottage formed part of the servants wing and has been updated by the current owner but still possesses much of its period character. From the car park you enter a private, gated courtyard with seating area and small outhouse building housing the gas boiler. To the front of Glengariffe there are communal lawned gardens for all to enjoy.

The property is enviably located, just a short stroll from Wellswood ‘village’ with its parade of shops, delicatessen, restaurants and pub whilst the picturesque Meadfoot Beach can be found within a reasonable walk through the beautiful Ilsham Valley.

EPC Rating: D

Owners Insight

“When we were looking at properties in the area, as soon as we viewed the Cottage, our immediate feeling was how private and bright it was. Then, realising how it was so conveniently placed, just a stone’s throw from all the Wellswood shops etc., that very day we decided to buy it! That was over twenty years ago and our feelings proved right.”
