Stylish family home with views towards Lyme Bay

The Exeter office of Savills (with joint agents John Couch in Torquay) has been instructed to sell Hilltop, at Maidencombe, Torquay in Devon, a well designed family home which takes full advantage of its unique location taking in the spectacular views of the surrounding countryside and the coastline.

Torquay has been one of the UK 's top holiday destinations since Victorian Times when the gentry promenaded, bathing huts were wheeled down to the beaches and anyone who was anyone had an attractive villa overlooking the sea. Hilltop is perfectly located. Found at the end of a private, quiet lane, the property is presented with a continuity of style, the thoughtfully designed accommodation has underfloor heating on the ground and lower ground floors and hard wood double glazed windows throughout. Arranged over three floors Hilltop provides the versatility, if required, of space for a self contained lower ground floor annexe with its own access from the garden. The principal accommodation is stylishly designed and finished and comprises two spacious, light reception rooms, a fully fitted kitchen with quality integrated appliances, one en suite bedroom, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped and terraced to maximise the impact of the surrounding natural woodland and the far reaching sea views.

The property is well placed for the amenities of St Marychurch, which provides shops and schooling and also the seaside town centre and sophisticated harbour side of vibrant Torquay. It was the Victorians who first used the Riviera name to describe their favourite resort and their legacy remains to this day with white villas, beautiful gardens around the seafront and elegant Victorian facades along the main streets.

Communications are excellent, a rail link from Torquay connects to the inter-city rail service operating from Newton Abbot. From Newton Abbot, the A380 dual carriageway connects with the

M5 at Exeter some 22 miles north and provides a full range of retail, recreational, educational and cultural facilities

Richard Addington says, “Set in a stunning location, Hilltop is a well designed and beautifully presented home.”

Hilltop is being offered for sale at a guide price in excess of £800,000.
