"Commanding EXCEPTIONAL COASTAL VIEWS from the glazed balcony and principal living space, this FINE DETACHED MARINE HOME stands within one of Torbayn++s most prestigious districts and has been the subject of a comprehensive program of modernisation, presenting a perfect opportunity for those seeking a stylish, low maintenance home on the English Riviera. Arranged over mezzanine levels, the well planned interior is complimented by attractive, yet manageable gardens which border an extensive parcel of woodland, covering approximately six and a half acres, owned by a consortium of eight residents aiding in the future protection of the views.
Whidborne Avenue sits proudly above the wooded Ilsham Valley where beautiful scenic walks can be enjoyed to the sheltered Meadfoot Beach being a haven for water sports. The nearby village amenities of Wellswood provide an array of shops, restaurants, pub and Church whilst Torquayn++s harbourside and Town centre are host to deep water mooring facilities, theatre and vibrant waterside bars and restaurants.
