New to the market with Absolute Sales & Lettings is this substantial and beautifully proportioned Victorian villa, positioned in the heart of Wellswood – one of Torquay’s most sought-after addresses.

The property has been thoughtfully updated by the current owners, seamlessly blending period character with modern upgrades to create a generous and welcoming family home.

Highlights include a striking reception hallway with a central split staircase, a grand lounge with feature fireplace and tall sash-style windows, and an impressive formal dining room with chandelier lighting. The newly fitted kitchen/breakfast room offers quartz worktops, bespoke cabinetry, a pantry, range cooker, and space for an American-style fridge freezer. From here, a side door opens to the garden terrace.

A practical laundry room with built-in storage and an additional shower suite makes everyday living effortless, while a ground floor cloakroom and under-stairs storage add further convenience.

Upstairs, four excellent double bedrooms are served by a luxurious bathroom, finished with twin sinks, a roll-top bath, a walk-in shower, and period-style detailing. The wide landing is a statement in itself, with feature lighting and access to a spacious loft.

Outside, the property enjoys a raised terrace with stainless steel balustrade, ideal for entertaining, together with a private lawned garden. A garage and driveway parking complete the picture.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a classic Victorian villa of excellent proportions in Wellswood – perfectly positioned within walking distance of Ilsham Road’s independent shops, cafés, and amenities
