3 bed terraced house for sale

Chelston, Torquay TQ2

This charming period terraced home has been lovingly owned by the same family for around 30 years. It features the classic layout of two reception rooms and three bedrooms, complemented by a westerly facing courtyard garden, ideal for enjoying the afternoon sun. The warm and welcoming interior is tastefully presented, with the added benefit of a modern kitchen and shower room.

Perfectly positioned near Avenue Road which is the gateway to Torquay’s picturesque seafront, bustling harbourside and yacht marina, as well as Torquay Rail Station, which is just one stop from mainline Newton Abbot offering direct connections to London and major cities. The nearby rail line between Torquay and Torre Stations can be seen from the house – a real delight for train enthusiasts. For those who love the outdoors, Cockington Country Park is close by, offering around 460 acres of woodland, lakes and meadows, and home to the charming thatched Drum Inn. Rosery Road itself is well placed between three green spaces, Triangle Community Park to the rear, Sherwell Park, and Torre Valley North beyond the rail line opposite, home to Torquay Athletics Club. Old Mill Road shops, selection of schools, along with Torbay Hospital, are also within easy reach, making this a wonderfully convenient and desirable place to live.

Seller's Insight

“Our family has had the pleasure of calling Rosery Road home for four generations, living in different houses along the street over the years. It’s been wonderful to see how the area has grown and changed, yet still kept its welcoming, community feel. Making the decision to move has been an emotional one, but my elderly mum would now benefit from a home on one level. Fortunately, we’re in a position to move without linking the sale, so the property is offered chain-free.

Rosery Road is such a lovely place to live, a friendly street where neighbours stop for a chat, and there’s a real sense of community. With shops just a short stroll, easy access to parks, good schools, and the seafront, all reasons why our family has stayed so long. We’re sure the next owners will love both the house and the location as much as we have.”
