Oozing luxury, class and a whole lot of history, this 19th-century property offers a memorable location for a group holiday of up to 10 guests. It’s located 0.5 miles from the harbour in Torquay, with an abundance of restaurants, shops and pubs all within 0.5 miles, as well as a fantastic beach. The house’s elevated position creates outstanding views, while its elegant decor may well make you feel like royalty. Chandeliers, impressive fireplaces and an indulgent standalone bath in the family bathroom – this place has them all!
This property was built in 1876, and features all the charm of a quality Victorian home including high ceilings, sash windows and ornate borders. From the grand entrance hall to the stunning lounge/dining room, every room is like something out of a magazine, with antique furniture and a rich colour scheme contributing further to the opulence. Relax in the evening playing the baby grand piano or watching a film on the Smart TV, or retreating with a book to the library area. The gorgeous country kitchen is a truly magnificent space, with the potential to bring out your inner celeb chef with its roomy layout, traditional larder and double oven. A dining table in the centre is excellent for breakfasts and socialising with the tea flowing. The rear garden offers a wonderful spot for breathing in the fresh Devon air. There’s an elevated decked area boasting pretty views over the adjacent church, and a lawn where children and dogs can play. The views from the front garden are also lovely.
In the immediate area, you can explore historical sights such as the 12th-century Torre Abbey and the prehistoric caves at Kents Cavern (both 1.5 miles). Further afield, we recommend days out in Brixham (9 miles) and Dartmouth (11 miles).
