Standing in a select cul-de-sac on the outskirts of Torquay at Great Hill is 5 Overdale Close, commanding open views from its elevated position over Torquay to the sea. It presents a beautiful home in one of Torquay's favoured districts. The property has been a loved home for 25 years, affording versatile living space over three levels, additional parking for several vehicles, and an integral double garage. The attractive tiered gardens are set to the rear of the property, with a decked terrace, lawn, and patios.
Great Hill is enviably located on the fringe of Torquay, making for easy access both in and out of the town. Local shops at Barton Hill Road are just minutes away, with more comprehensive amenities found nearby at the Willows, which is home to a host of national stores including M&S, Sainsbury's, Boots, and Next.
Stepping inside, you’re met with an open entrance porch with an outside light and front door opening to the reception hall, which has two windows and a door to the integral garage.
The dining room has a picture window to the side, enjoying views over the surrounding area towards Great Hill and around to Brunel Woods, with sea views into Watcombe Gap. A wide archway leads to the sitting room, which has two sliding patio doors—one to a Juliette balcony and one to a decked balcony with stainless steel and glass balustrading, both offering views over the surrounding area and sea views into Tor Bay. There is also a feature fireplace with a fitted gas fire. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a comprehensive range of units and slate effect worktops with an inset sink unit.
From the reception hall, stairs rise to the first-floor landing. Bedroom 1 is a spacious double room with a window to the front and a range of built-in wardrobes, drawers, dressing table, and bedside cabinets. There is a walk-in wardrobe housing the hot water cylinder. The ensuite features a 'P' shaped bath, double shower cubicle, wash hand basin set in a vanity unit, and WC with concealed cistern.
From the reception hall, stairs descend to the garden level hall, which has a walk-in shelved storage cupboard. Bedroom 2 enjoys dual aspect views over the open surroundings. Bedroom 3 has durable wood effect flooring and sliding patio doors that lead to a paved veranda, with views over the rear garden and surrounding area. Bedroom 4 has a window to the side and an en-suite cloakroom with a wash hand basin, WC, and window. The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite that includes a panelled bath, walk-in shower, wash hand basin set in a vanity unit, and WC with concealed cistern.
To the rear of the property, there are delightful gardens arranged in tiers and attractively landscaped. Immediately adjoining the house is a decked terrace with wooden balustrading and a sloping gravelled pathway to the side, planted with mature shrubs. From the terrace, a pergola and steps lead down to a gently sloping circular lawn, beyond which is a patio leading to a further tiered paved patio with a wooden garden shed. Within the gardens are mature shrubs and trees, a pond with water feature, outside lighting, power points, and a tap. Gated pathways on either side of the property lead to the front, where a sloping driveway provides parking for approximately four vehicles, with a sloping lawned garden to the side.
The current owners said: “We have lived in Overdale Close for 25 years, and can honestly say it is the best house in which we have ever lived. We are in many ways reluctant to leave; however, we do need to move on and downsize due to reaching our older years. We were taken with the place immediately when we saw the views from the rear of the property, in particular from the lounge/dining room windows and the garden level bedrooms.
“It has provided everything we have wanted for our growing families and the many times they have visited with their children. We will be extremely sad to leave, and despite our need to manage a smaller property, we will greatly miss all the benefits of this large house and surrounding gardens.”
5 Overdale Close is on the market for £575,000. For more information or to arrange a viewing, contact John Lake Estate Agents on 01803 328899 or email:
