Roydon Asheldon Road, Torquay, TQ1 2QN Newton Abbot 8 miles, Exeter 25 miles, Totnes 10 miles
• Desirable Location • Period Charm & Features • Income Potential • Unconverted Coach House with Potential • 6 Bedrooms (master en suite) • 2 Bed Annexe • Large Integral Garages • Level Lawned Gardens Offers in excess of £900,000 SITUATION Located in the desirable Wellswood area of Torquay, the heart of the English Riviera, famed for its mild climate and crystal clear waters interspersed with palm fringed sandy beaches. This grand anchorage was favoured by the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars and Torquay soon benefited from their presence as smart houses were built to accommodate the officers. With a mild south-facing aspect, miles of sandy beaches and the arrival of the railway in 1848 Torquay's growth as a holiday destination for the rich and famous was spectacular. The harbour, with its large marina, palm trees and subtropical gardens, elegant Georgian terraces, as well as a myriad of bars and restaurants, one with Michelin-starred cuisine, remains the most attractive area.
DESCRIPTION This substantial period family home is set in level grounds and benefits from extensive accommodation extending to in excess of 5,500 square feet. It briefly comprises of the main house arranged over two floors with very adaptable, spacious, accommodation. All the reception rooms are grand and elegant and contain many period features with generous ceiling heights, magnificent plasterwork and cornicing. There are six bedrooms contained in the main house. In addition to this is a separate annexe with its own entrance and two bedrooms. There is also the detached Coach House, with walled garden, from which a further self-contained unit could be created (subject to planning and building regulations).
ACCOMMODATION Roydon is approached through a pillared entrance with a driveway leading to the front door. The reception hallway has excellent proportions with an open fireplace and is a great entertaining room, stairs rise to the first floor, and there is also access to the cellar and garaging from the hall.
A substantial Victorian villa with income potential located in the desirable area of Wellswood

At the end of the hall is the snooker room with French doors leading to the garden. The kitchen, opposite the dining room, has a comprehensive range of floor and wall mounted units with a breakfast bar and space for a breakfast table.

The master bedroom has an en suite shower and bathroom, and access from the hall to a dressing room fitted with wardrobes. Four of the bedrooms overlook the garden.
