2 Bedroom House For Sale, Warberries, Torquay

This MATURE TERRACE COTTAGE is nestled within a terrace of cottages set behind a high stone wall at the top of the prestigious Warberries hillside, with the established Warberry Copse just a short saunter from the doorstep, and the popular Warberry Primary School directly opposite.  The property affords deceptive, irregular shaped living space and provides TWO BEDROOMS complemented with a pleasant paved and part covered easterly facing patio and parking.   

A host of picturesque walks are enjoyed nearby toward Anstey’s Cove, Meadfoot Beach, or Torquay’s harbour at the base of the hill. Wellswood with its ‘village’ ambiance is a saunter away boasting a selection of shops, Coop, delicatessen, pharmacy, post office, pub, restaurants, and well supported St Matthias Church.

OWNER INSIGHT “Magnolia cottage was a warm and cosy home for us and our two small children, it’s in a lovely area with a good school and good neighbours and is easy to heat and simple to maintain. The bright and airy upstairs space was perfect for running a small business. The little courtyard is a morning sun trap ideal for enjoying a coffee and doing a bit of paperwork in peace.

It is a pleasant 20min walk to Wellswood shops, the post office, and the park. The fact it is tucked away makes it very peaceful at night when all you can hear are the owls.

One thing we particularly valued was how easy it was to go away for a holiday or a weekend and not worry about security; it’s a very stress free place to lock up and leave, and equally lovely to come back to.

We decided to move after our children and business outgrew the space and let it for a number of years and it’s now time for someone else to enjoy its charms.”
