Whidborne wonder with unbeatable views

Our Property of the Week is a detached four-bedroom stunner in the lucrative area of Whidborne Avenue in Torquay, with sensational views across Ilsham Valley to Meadfoot Beach and Torbay.
The house sits behind a double access driveway with large garage, whilst the gardens and balconies take full advantage of their south west orientation. The versatile living space currently provides a five-bedroom design, although holds great potential to simply adapt to a new owners requirements, or dramatically change like many of the architecturally unique coastal houses nearby.
Owners’ Insight: “The house has been a wonderful home for us for sixteen years, with many magical memories made. The views are, of course, one of the main features, and continues to take our breath away, whether watching the sun set over the Ilsham Valley after a beautiful day, or the weather roll in from across Torbay.”
Walking through the reception hall, there is an office or fourth bedroom space before the hall steps down to a lower hall and out to the gardens.
The sitting room has a dual aspect with picture windows and door giving access to the balcony with tiled floor from, where beautiful views over the valley towards Meadfoot and the sea at Torbay are enjoyed.
The kitchen / dining room is loosely divided into two areas, while the first bedroom has a balcony and en-suite shower room, plus three more bedrooms and a delightful bathroom.
Outside, the front of the property is a double access brick paved driveway with a generous garage. Gated access down both side elevations lead to the rear garden with virtually full width paved terracing with barbecue area, timber pergoda and lawned gardens beyond with attractive Magnolia trees. From the terracing there is a double glazed door and window giving access to underhouse storage with restricted head height of about 1.8m, principal room, shower room and storage.
The property is on the market with John Lake and valued at £795,000.
