4 bed terraced house for sale

Danby Heights Close, Torquay TQ1

This fine marine town house commands sweeping views over the wooded area to the sea, forming part of a select development of calibre homes set in a private close off the prestigious Lincombe Drive. The living space spans three levels, with the sitting room and sheltered balcony set on the top floor taking full advantage of the southerly aspect and coastal vista. The house benefits from a versatile four bedroom design, with integral garage and block paviour drive, and low maintenance garden.

Danby Heights Close is enviably tucked back from the hustle and bustle in a peaceful setting on the wooded Lincombes hillside, yet just a short saunter from the vibrant waterside bars, restaurants, Princess Theatre and array of leisure activities at the harbour. The winding Lincombe Drive leads toward Wellswood with its ‘village’ ambiance, and swift access into the woodland opposite leading to the picturesque Ilsham Valley and Meadfoot Beach.

The house is offered chain free.

EPC Rating: D

Owners Insight

"We lived in this lovely home for four years and feel incredibly grateful for our time there. The ever-changing views over the trees and out to sea are truly breathtaking - peaceful, calming, and always a joy. It’s wonderfully quiet (something we noticed right away), yet never feels remote, with a few friendly neighbours close by. It’s an easy walk to Wellswood for coffee or essentials, and not far into Torquay for restaurants, cafés, the gym or a night out. Meadfoot Beach is also nearby - great for a swim, paddle board or yoga session. The house itself is very easy to live in: Low maintenance, lots of storage, plus a garage and driveway. A really special place to call home."
