Torquay town house set in heart of leafy Wellswood

Set in the heart of leafy Wellswood, this fine end town house forms one of just three bespoke homes nestled at the head of Asheldon Road.

Entering through the sunny courtyard garden and wisteria-covered entrance, the house offers a gracious principal room and deceptively spacious living areas, featuring a three double bedroom design and an integral garage.

This is a wonderful opportunity for those seeking a characterful, low-maintenance freehold home in one of Torquay’s most desirable locations.

Ardmore is conveniently located just a short walk from the comprehensive amenities of Wellswood, which retains a charming village ambiance. Independent shops, a Coop, Post Office, Kents Pub, St Matthias Church, a delicatessen, and the highly regarded Ilsham Primary School are all nearby. A picturesque walk through the Ilsham Valley leads to Meadfoot Beach, one of Torquay's flagship beaches and a haven for water sports. Additionally, nearby pathways provide easy access to Ansteys Cove, the coastal fields of Walls Hill, and the South West Coast Path.

A panelled entrance door with a spy hole opens to the entrance lobby, leading through an inner glazed door to the principal room, which is loosely divided into sitting and dining areas. The sitting room boasts gracious ceiling height with inset spotlights, a generous storage cupboard, and picture windows with a central sliding sash overlooking the courtyard garden. The dining area also has a sash window with views of the garden.

A panelled door leads to the reception hall, which has a glazed door opening to the rear drive and garage. The cloakroom features a WC and wash hand basin. The kitchen is fitted with white high-gloss fronted units and roll-edged worktops with an inset sink. There is provision for a range-style cooker with a filter hood, a washing machine, and space for a fridge/freezer. A large sash window provides ample natural light.

From the reception hall, stairs rise to the first-floor landing, which has a loft access hatch. There are three double bedrooms. Bedroom 1 features two sash windows overlooking Asheldon Road and an en-suite shower room. Bedrooms 2 and 3 overlook the courtyard garden. The family bathroom includes a white suite with a panelled bath, electric shower, wash hand basin, and WC. It has part-tiled walls, a shaver point, and an illuminated mirror.

The property benefits from an integral garage with a personal door to the reception hall. There is also space to park one vehicle directly outside the garage, provided it does not block access for the neighbouring homes. A private gate opens to the walled courtyard with a tiled floor, which enjoys a south-westerly aspect and a wisteria-clad archway over the front door.

The previous owners shared, “We have enjoyed many happy years and memories at 1 Ardmore. The convenience has been exceptional, with all you could need from day to day virtually on the doorstep.
