" A delightful town house on a quiet leafy road in the much favoured Wellswood area. Close to amenities, 3 bedrooms, sitting room & dining room, conservatory, front and rear gardens, garage. EPC Band D.

SITUATION Located in the desirable Wellswood area of Torquay, a popular area thanks to its leafy and tree lined roads, quiet ambience and the parade of boutique shops, restaurants, coffee shops as well as the well regarded Kents Tavern. Torquay is the heart of the English Riviera, famed for its mild climate and crystal clear waters interspersed with palm fringed sandy beaches. This grand anchorage was favoured by the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars and Torquay soon benefited from their presence as smart houses were built to accommodate the officers.
 
With a mild south-facing aspect, miles of sandy beaches and the arrival of the railway in 1848 Torquay's growth as a holiday destination for the rich and famous was spectacular. The harbour, with its large marina, palm trees and subtropical gardens, elegant Georgian terraces, as well as a myriad of bars and restaurants, one with Michelin-starred cuisine, remains the most attractive area.
