8 bed terraced house for sale

Quinta Road, Torquay TQ1

HS Owen is delighted to present to the market this truly remarkable and characterful period home, set in a discreet and peaceful position on Quinta Road, perfectly placed between the ever-popular areas of Babbacombe and Wellswood in Torquay. This handsome and expansive property blends the grace and elegance of period architecture with a level of space and versatility rarely available in today’s market.

Rich in charm and architectural detail, the house is filled with original features that instantly evoke a sense of heritage and timeless style. High ceilings, elegant sash windows, ornate cornicing, decorative panelling, dado rails, and an array of beautiful fireplaces are just some of the many highlights that run throughout the home, creating a refined and inviting atmosphere in every room.

The main residence is generously proportioned and thoughtfully arranged, offering exceptional space over two floors. On the ground level, the accommodation is designed to balance formal entertaining with relaxed family living. A welcoming hallway leads through to a sequence of bright and spacious reception rooms, including a formal sitting room, an elegant dining room, and a delightful sun room that draws in natural light and opens out to the front terrace. The kitchen and breakfast room form the heart of the home—a wonderful open space ideal for family gatherings and day-to-day living, while a separate utility room provides practical support.

Also on the ground floor is a flexible bedroom suite with an en-suite bathroom, perfect for guests, older relatives, or even a live-in nanny. This thoughtful layout allows for easy accessibility and future-proofed living options.

Upstairs, the main house offers five further bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite complete with its own en-suite shower room and private dressing area. Each bedroom is well-sized and filled with natural light, complemented by a stylish family bathroom and a further separate WC. The arrangement provides excellent flexibility for growing families or those needing dedicated home office or hobby space.

Adding to the property’s appeal is a fully self-contained two-bedroom annexe, discreetly integrated yet offering full independence. Featuring its own entrance, kitchen, bathroom, and living area, the annexe is ideal for multigenerational living, long-term guests, or even as an income-generating holiday let or rental.

Externally, the home sits on a private shared driveway serving only a small number of properties, offering both privacy and seclusion while maintaining excellent access to local amenities. A gravelled drive to the front provides generous parking for multiple vehicles, while a raised sun terrace at the front of the home offers a peaceful setting to relax and entertain. A further enclosed garden space is tucked away down a set of steps to the rear, providing a more private outdoor area for families, pets, or gardening enthusiasts.

The location itself is one of the property’s strongest features. Nestled between Babbacombe and Wellswood, residents enjoy immediate access to two of Torquay’s most desirable areas. Babbacombe, with its dramatic Downs and cliffside walks, charming cafés, and beautiful beaches, offers a relaxed seaside lifestyle. Meanwhile, Wellswood provides a village-like atmosphere with independent shops, a patisserie, post office, and more, making it perfect for day-to-day needs. The bustling Torquay harbour and town centre are also within easy reach, offering further dining, shopping, and entertainment options, as well as mainline rail services for commuting or travel.

This is a truly rare opportunity to acquire a home of such scale, charm, and flexibility in one of South Devon’s most sought-after coastal settings. Offering over 3,200 square feet of accommodation, and combining timeless architecture with modern-day practicality, this exceptional property must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
