PANEL PERFECTION
In the Porch the panelling is divine welcoming you into a beautiful and spacious Mahogany panelled Hallway off which you have a choice of Reception Rooms.
Do you choose the Drawing Room with roaring fire in the hearth leading out to a curved covered Veranda and the beautifully landscaped Gardens? Or the more opulent Dining Room with its original serving hatch to the spacious eat-in Kitchen beyond?
Whichever you choose you’ll be amazed at the farreaching panoramic views over the bay and out to sea.
The high ceilings and original Oak and Mahogany woodwork and panelling take you back to a period of timeless elegance and feeling of serenity – a perfect place to rest and unwind.
curves & angles
The bespoke curved windows and door entice you out from the warm feel of the Drawing Room with its ornate fireplace into the dual aspect Veranda with doors out to the extensive Gardens.
Here you’ll find a Summerhouse and World War II Anderson Shelter, plus those steps down to what feels like your own slice of beachy heaven.

green fingers
You don’t have to have green fingers here as the 0.75 acre south-east facing Gardens have been lovingly cultivated in a style to complement Lutyens’ influence on the house. With a large lawned area with mature shrubs and palm trees there is a real Mediterranean vibe to the luscious Gardens which are easily maintained.
Enjoy the sunny Patio for al fresco entertaining sheltered by an ornamental brick wall. The Patio area provides truly magnificent views towards Torquay Harbour.
To complement the Anderson Shelter is a former WW2 gun emplacement at the top of the Garden now a seating/observation platform providing 180 degree views.
diners’ delight
The Dining Room has the original oak fireplace surround with intricate oak carvings and doors to the Veranda.
Entertaining guests here is a delight as you can have drinks in the Garden, stroll around the grounds then relax in the curved double-aspect Verdanda before retiring to the Drawing Room after dinner.

kitchen capers & famous friends
For the budding chef there is a spacious eat-in Kitchen with the original feature Welsh Dresser built-in, plus not one but two Utilities so plenty of space to store your ingredients and larger appliances.
There is also access to the Kitchen Gardens for those fresh herbs to add to your dish.
You might also like to know that you share your home with famous faces of bygone times.

versatility at the core
If you can tear yourself away from the beach, the Gardens and the view then back in the house you’ll find another large and sumptuous room on the ground floor –ideal for a more formal Reception Room or a Guest Bedroom – The Morning Room.
Sit and watch the sunrise with light flooding in and views towards the heart of Torquay. This spacious room retains a beautiful copper period feature fireplace and large windows.
There’s another room on this level perfect for a Home Office and a handy Cloakroom too.
sleep to the sounds of the sea
The Principal Bedroom is large and opens to a Balcony with magnificent sea views. The wooden balustrading here is made of Western Red Cedar wood.
Two further Bedrooms provide ample accommodation for family and friends. There is also extensive under-eave storage, although down in the Basement you have all the storage space you could possibly need!
The contemporary Shower Room has a walk-in Linen Cupboard with views over to Torquay Harbour & Marina.
Another Bathroom serves the larger of the two Bedrooms. There’s also an additional Cloakroom.
A short stroll to the sea
Situated on Livermead Head in the heart of the English Riviera you are only a short walk to the promenade leading into the centre of Torquay with shops and the marina on your doorstep.
But before you go that far, you have the public beaches at Livermead or just walk to the edge of the Garden to find your own private access to another, more secluded beach from which to swim or paddleboard.
You’ll feel a million miles away!
