This MATURE TERRACE HOUSE forms part of an exclusive close of just ten homes adjoining Torquay Golf Club, built in the 1960s by Messrs Stoneman, a local builder of high repute. Owned by our client s family since new, the property enjoys a spacious two bedroom design, although originally planned to afford a three bedroom layout if required by dividing the large front bedroom. A sheltered walled courtyard garden faces easterly to the rear, whilst the front overlooks the close that features a central communal green space and garage in a separate block.

Kelvin Court is enviably positioned within close proximity of the vibrant pedestrianised shopping precinct which retains a village ambiance, and wider amenities locally include independent shops and national chain shops, cafe s, post office, Churches, medical centres, and dental practice. Torquay Golf Club is literally a tee shot away, with other leisure clubs nearby including Babbacombe Corinthian Sailing Club, tennis and bowling clubs in Cary Park. The picturesque South West Coast Paths can also be joined at the end of Petitor Road, leading to a selection of beaches and coves.

OWNER S INSIGHT

"I remember fondly when my father brought me to see Kelvin Court which was still under construction, and he agreed to buy one of the first houses in the close. Sixty years later and some wonderful memories made, it is now time for our family to end a chapter, and new owners to start their story. For a golf enthusiast you couldn t get closer to the course, and it has been known for a few balls to end up in Kelvin Court! We are also so lucky to have such an abundance of amenities nearby, and I took for granted just popping to the precinct shops or cafe s, although now I m a little older it s my family doing the short walk. I can honestly say my time at Kelvin Court has been a privilege with so many lovely neighbour s and friends made over the years. It is emotional to think my families time is nearing an end at Kelvin Court, and I hope the next owners will enjoy similar longevity and love from the house as we have."
