Ellacombe Church Road, Torquay, TQ1

This character VICTORIAN TERRACED HOUSE with attractive dressed stone, bay fronted façade sits above the road enjoying open views to the front toward the local Warberry Copse. The property provides accommodation, typical of its era, two reception rooms and two bedrooms plus a useful loft room, all complimented by a terraced garden to the rear.

The house stands centrally for access to either Babbacombe to the North or Torquay's town with harbourside beyond to the South, both approximately 1 mile distance. A selection of local schools are within easy reach, and Brewery Park can be found within a ball's kick.

OWNERS INSIGHT

"What first drew us to this home as a first time buyer was its perfect location. It’s tucked away in a peaceful part of Torquay with very easy access to the coastline, including beautiful views around every corner. Whilst only being a short, leisurely stroll into town, it is a calming and friendly neighbourhood, with people from different walks of life, making it a wonderful location for all.
