Ilsham Road, Torquay

Owners Interview

When we first saw this home, we fell in love with its slightly secluded position—offering peace and privacy while still being just moments from all the local amenities. The extensive gardens, filled with mature shrubs and trees, immediately drew us in, creating a beautiful natural retreat.

Living here has been an absolute joy. We’ve loved being surrounded by treetops, watching the wildlife from our windows, and yet being just a short walk from a fantastic patisserie. One of our favourite things is strolling through the wildflower meadow to reach the beach in just a few minutes—it’s a special kind of escape.

Our absolute favourite feature has to be the pool. Whether it’s a refreshing dip on a sunny day or a peaceful swim under the moonlight, it has given us countless cherished moments. Combined with the many beautiful aspects of the garden, this home has truly been a place of relaxation and happiness for us.
