A rare opportunity to purchase a spacious DETACHED BUNGALOW WITH SEA VIEWS set in an extensive plot
benefitting from PLANNING PERMISSION FOR AN ADDITIONAL DETACHED HOUSE. Nestled in a tranquil
setting at the end of one of Torquay's most prestigious private roads, the property has been a loved home for our client and family over twenty years and would make an ideal proposition for those wishing to build their own home whilst living on site, an extended family wishing to be close yet retaining complete
independence, or developer seeking a unique project.
Local amenities at Wellswood lie at the base of the hill which retain a village ambience where post office, pub, bistro
restaurants, delicatessen and convenience store can all be found, whilst a selection of primary schools are all within sensible walking distance. Torquay's harbour and yacht
marina are also accessible being circa two mile distance with sea front promenade, theatre and train station beyond.

Our Area
Torquay is nestled on the warm South Devon coast being one of three towns along with Paignton and Brixham which form the natural east facing harbour of Torbay, sheltered from the English Channel. Torbay's wide selection of stunning beaches, picturesque
coastline, mild climate and recreational facilities reinforce why it has rightfully earned the renowned nickname of the English Riviera.

OWNERS
INSIGHT
“Mandalay has been a wonderful home for our family
with many memories made. The vision of building the
new house did not come to fruition for us, although it was
always an added optional benefit rather than a business
venture. The loft is also quite substantial with potential
to convert and maximise the views.
There are many things we will miss about Mandalay,
with the privacy, open views, peaceful setting and
convenience to amenities all major factors why we chose
the house initially and stayed so long”.
