SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION: Occupying an enviable location amongst other high calibre properties, "Palm Trees" is a substantial detached residence standing within wonderful landscaped walled gardens, which enjoy a high degree of privacy. The convenient location is a particular feature with Meadfoot Beach being just 300m away and walks at Lincombe Woods and the coastal path on the doorstep. There is also ready access to Wellswood village with it's boutique shops, restaurants cafes and village inn. Torquay, with its beaches , coves and marina is the principle town of the Borough of Torbay which along with neighbours Paignton and Brixham form the "English Riviera". There are comprehensive facilities for shopping, education and health, supported by restaurants, theatres, bars and clubs, so leisure opportunities are numerous and varied.

. Originally constructed in 1959, "Palm Trees" has in more recent years been sympathetically extended and modernised to provide a spacious home, eminently suitable for family use. Double doors connect the two principle reception rooms, which both have French doors opening onto South and East facing verandah and terraces, making this area of the home ideal for entertaining. The first floor master and guest bedrooms have access to a balcony arranged to take full advantage of open views afforded towards the bay from this elevated position. Internally the high standard of presentation is enhanced with oak flooring, ceiling cornicing and modern sanitary ware to bath and shower rooms. Up to date security is provided by a sophisticated video and audio entry phone and automated gate entry system. The walled garden is a real delight, being extensively stocked with fruit trees in addition to a magnificent palm tree, which as the largest specimen in the UK, is of special interest to Kew Gardens.

. A sweeping driveway provides ample parking in addition to a garage and carport, whilst there is also a double storey studio adjacent to the carport which may be of interest to those working from home or seeking home and income potential.
