Description

Set within just under an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds, this exceptional coastal estate offers a rare opportunity to acquire a highly versatile multi-unit residence in one of Torquay’s most sought-after and secure neighbourhoods. Perfectly positioned just moments from the shoreline, with Meadfoot Beach only a short walk away, the property combines privacy, scale, and refined coastal living in a truly privileged setting.

The estate is arranged as four distinct and well-considered units, making it ideally suited to multi-generational living, discerning lifestyle purchasers, or those seeking a principal residence complemented by flexible ancillary accommodation.

The principal residence is both elegant and generously proportioned, arranged across multiple levels and offering well-balanced, adaptable living space. The ground floor is centred around a substantial open-plan kitchen, dining, and sitting room designed for relaxed everyday living as well as entertaining on a larger scale. Additional reception rooms, bedrooms, and bath and shower facilities provide versatility, while a conservatory and adjoining terrace enhance natural light and create a seamless connection between the house and its landscaped surroundings.

The upper level of the main house provides a more private retreat, featuring a spacious bedroom with en-suite facilities and an open-plan kitchen and living area. This arrangement is well suited to guest accommodation or semi-independent living, offering privacy while remaining fully integrated with the main residence. Throughout, practical storage, utility spaces, and thoughtful circulation ensure the home functions effortlessly on every level.

A standout feature of the estate is the dedicated leisure and wellness unit, designed as an indulgent retreat for relaxation and entertaining. This space incorporates a 10-berth sauna and a 9-berth jacuzzi, complemented by a bar area, creating an inviting and sociable environment. Whether enjoyed privately or as part of a broader lifestyle offering, this facility adds a distinctive and highly desirable dimension to the property.

The third unit, currently configured as a private office, offers a quiet and self-contained workspace away from the main residence. With its own defined layout, it presents excellent potential for conversion into additional accommodation, subject to any necessary consents, further enhancing the flexibility and future value of the estate.

Completing the property is a fully self contained one bedroom lodge, ideal for guests, staff accommodation, or holiday letting. The lodge comprises an open plan kitchen and living area alongside a comfortable double bedroom, providing privacy and independence within the grounds.

Together, the four units form a rare and highly adaptable coastal estate, offering an exceptional combination of space, privacy, and proximity to the sea. Perfectly suited to those seeking a long-term family home, a lifestyle retreat, or a legacy property in one of Torquay’s most desirable coastal locations.
