3 bed flat for sale

Wellswood, Torquay TQ1

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial three-bedroom Victorian garden apartment, occupying the ground floor of an elegant period villa in a discreet and highly regarded position just off Woodend Road. Ideally placed for the amenities and village atmosphere of Wellswood, this impressive home combines the character and proportions of a period property with the convenience of its own private entrance, parking and exceptionally generous outside space.

The property is approached via a gravelled driveway, providing two dedicated parking spaces, with a gated side access leading through to the rear garden. From the moment you enter, there is a wonderful sense of space and character, with high ceilings, decorative cornicing, picture rails, original features and large windows contributing to the feeling of a substantial Victorian home. The accommodation is particularly versatile, with three double bedrooms, three bath/shower rooms and excellent reception space, making it equally suited to family living, entertaining or those simply looking for a home with room to breathe.

The sitting room is a particular highlight, enjoying impressive proportions, a wealth of period detail and a lovely outlook across the rear garden, with French doors providing a direct connection to the outside. The accommodation also incorporates a well-appointed kitchen, separate dining room and useful utility/porch area, while the three bedrooms provide considerable flexibility, with the principal bedroom and third bedroom both enjoying direct access to the garden and two of the bedrooms benefiting from en-suite facilities.

Outside, the rear garden is undoubtedly one of the property's most distinctive features. Exceptionally large for an apartment, it extends well beyond what might ordinarily be expected, with a broad terrace adjoining the property before opening into an established and beautifully landscaped garden. Mature borders, natural stonework, hedging, pathways and a generous level lawn create a wonderfully private and secluded setting, offering plenty of space for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the garden in peace.

An additional and particularly unusual feature is that the freehold of the building is included with the property, together with the existing 999-year lease which commenced in December 1998. The combination of substantial and characterful accommodation, private parking, an outstanding garden and freehold ownership makes this a particularly interesting and individual property, occupying an enviable position within easy reach of Wellswood Village and the wider attractions of the surrounding area.
