2 Bedroom Cottage For Sale, St Marychurch, Torquay

This spacious TWO BEDROOM COTTAGE stands in the very heart of St Marychurch, one of Torquay’s most favoured districts, directly opposite the beautiful Church of St Mary the Virgin. The deceptive interior property provides very well-presented accommodation and features a sizeable principal room, modern fitted kitchen, and impressive turned staircase for a home of this nature, rising to two large double bedrooms and a spacious bathroom.  Presently used as a successful holiday rental the property could equally provide an extremely comfortable principal residence or second home.

Whilst there is no private outside space, this charming home overlooks the neighbouring Churchyard and a most convenient location just a level saunter to the pedestrianised shopping precinct with wide choice of shops and eateries, and the scenic Babbacombe Downs with shingle beaches below equally accessible. Numerous leisure and sports clubs are close at hand, with Babbacombe Corinthian Sailing Club at the base of the precinct, and Torquay Golf Club virtually a tee shot away.

OWNER INSIGHT “We purchased Granary Cottage approximately 15 years ago. We were initially attracted to the cottage as it has well-proportioned accommodation and in a great location being close to the quaint St Marychurch precinct and within walking distance of the beautiful Babbacombe Downs.

The property was tenanted for 10 years, we then refurbished the cottage throughout and decided to keep it as a holiday home for family to visit and also holiday let for additional income. We feel that the time has come for us to move on, but are very sad to be selling Granary Cottage.”
