INTRODUCTION The Headlands is an extraordinary contemporary residence of architectural distinction, occupying a commanding elevated position on one of Torquay’s most prestigious coastal roads. Completed in 2022, this statement home has been designed to embrace its exceptional setting, with panoramic views sweeping across Torbay and a remarkable sense of connection to the sea from almost every angle. Arranged over four beautifully considered levels and extending to over 6,000 sq ft, the accommodation delivers a superb balance of scale, sophistication and effortless modern living. Every element has been crafted with meticulous attention to detail, from the superior specification and intelligent home technology to the seamless flow between the principal living spaces and the series of expansive sea-facing terraces. Designed for both everyday luxury and exceptional entertaining, the home includes six bedrooms, a cinema room with a 144” Lyngdorf theatre system by Steinway, a bar, wine cellar and tasting room, alongside a detached studio and boat store. Lutron lighting, integrated speakers and solar panels further enhance the home’s comfort, efficiency and contemporary appeal. Set within Lincombe Drive, an affluent and highly regarded address with sea views on three sides, The Headlands offers coastal living at its finest. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a landmark home where architectural excellence, luxury lifestyle and one of South Devon’s most desirable marine settings come together in truly spectacular fashion. SELLERS INSIGHT “We came across this plot almost by chance. The house that was here at the time was not at all what we had been looking for — in fact, we very nearly didn’t view it. But as soon as we came up the driveway, we could see the vision. We knew there was an opportunity here to create something truly exceptional. The views were unlike anything we had seen before. They were completely captivating, and we knew straight away that if we let this go, we may never find another setting quite like it. That became the starting point for everything we went on to create. When we rebuilt the house, we had a very clear objective: to make the absolute most of the views. Every decision was centred around the outlook, the light and the way the house would connect with its surroundings. We wanted open-plan living, generous indoor and outdoor spaces, and a home that was substantial enough to entertain properly, but still felt comfortable and enjoyable every day. It really was the opportunity to create our dream home. The cinema room was something we had always wanted, and it has completely changed the way we experience film and television — we use it every day. The wine tasting room was also particularly important to us, especially given my line of work, and it has been wonderful to have a space designed specifically for that purpose. What we love is that the house fulfils every need we could ever have. It is incredibly private, beautifully light and has so many luxury finishes that make day-to-day life feel effortless. The Lutron lighting system, for example, means each room can be set to suit the mood, whether we are entertaining, relaxing, watching a film or enjoying dinner with friends. Although we wanted the house to feel luxurious, we were also very conscious of making it efficient and economical to run. With the solar panels and the EPC B rating, we feel we achieved that balance, creating a substantial home that also works practically. Our lives are now taking us to a different part of the world, otherwise we would never consider leaving. This has been our dream home in every sense — the privacy, the views, the light, the entertaining spaces and the lifestyle it offers are things we know would be almost impossible to recreate” STEP INSIDE From the moment you enter The Headlands, the architectural calibre of the home is immediately apparent. The entrance hall is quite spectacular, with floor-to-ceiling glazing, an impressive ceiling height and a striking staircase rising to the first floor, while a further staircase leads down to the lower ground level. Far more than simply a place of arrival, this is a room in its own right — dramatic, light-filled and designed to offer an immediate glimpse of the quality, scale and style that continues throughout the home. The crisp white décor, grey tiled flooring and feature slate wall create a sophisticated contrast, setting the tone for the contemporary interiors. As you move through into the sitting room, the proportions of the house become even more impressive. This is an exceptional principal reception space, with an expansive wall of glazing and a further wall of sliding doors framing panoramic views across the coastline. A feature double-sided fireplace creates both warmth and architectural interest, linking the sitting room effortlessly with the adjoining dining room. The dining area continues the feeling of openness and connection to the sea, with double-aspect bifold doors opening onto the sun terrace, which wraps around the principal living spaces on three sides. This clever design allows the interiors to flow naturally outwards, creating a wonderful sense of inside-outside living and making the most of the home’s elevated coastal setting. From here, the space opens into the kitchen — a beautifully designed, contemporary room fitted with premium NEFF appliances, sleek cabinetry and a striking central island. The island stands prominently at the heart of the room, framed by extensive storage and work surfaces, while breakfast bar seating provides a relaxed and informal place to gather. Further bifold doors open directly onto the expansive terrace and outdoor kitchen, complete with barbecue and pizza oven. With its stone walls, greenery and modern tiled flooring, this is a superb entertaining space, equally suited to relaxed family living or hosting on a grander scale. Throughout the main living spaces, garden, bedroom suites, cinema room and wine tasting room, a state-of-the-art Lutron lighting system provides a range of ambience settings, allowing each space to be tailored to the mood and occasion. Integrated ceiling speakers further enhance the home’s entertaining credentials, extending through the main reception areas, wine tasting room, first floor bedroom suites and terrace. Accessed from the kitchen, terrace and hallway is a fully functional bar — a stylish and practical addition to the entertaining space — with an adjoining cloakroom and server room housing the specialist equipment for the cinema room. The cinema itself has been designed to deliver the ultimate home viewing experience, with two rows of four reclining cinema chairs, a 144” specialist screen, JVC UHD projector and a comprehensive surround sound system via a Lyngdorf theatre system made by Steinway. It is an exceptional private cinema, perfectly in keeping with the luxury and technical sophistication found throughout this remarkable home. LOWER GROUND FLOOR The lower ground floor has been designed with the same attention to detail as the principal living spaces, providing a highly practical yet beautifully finished area of the home. Here, the more functional elements have been cleverly positioned away from the main entertaining spaces, allowing day-to-day household requirements to be managed discreetly without compromising the elegance and flow of the living accommodation above. A large and exceptionally useful laundry room provides excellent working space and storage, while also incorporating a cloakroom and a generous shower area. This is a thoughtful and practical addition, ideal for returning from the beach, boating, walking or simply managing family life with ease. The wine cellar is a particular highlight, having been specifically designed for the storage and presentation of fine wines. More than simply a practical cellar, this is a dedicated wine tasting space, created with a sense of occasion and entirely in keeping with the grandeur and lifestyle offering of the wider home. From here, the accommodation leads through to a boot room, currently arranged as a gym. With ample storage, the boiler and water cylinder discreetly housed within this area, and an external door providing independent access, this lower ground level offers notable flexibility. Subject to any necessary consents, there may be potential to utilise this area as self-contained accommodation, making it well suited to those considering annexe potential, guest use or a more independent arrangement for extended family. Also positioned on this level is a lobby giving access to the integral double garage, further enhancing the convenience and practicality of this impressive coastal residence. FIRST FLOOR The bedroom accommodation continues the home’s clear theme of luxury, scale and considered design. A light-filled landing, with delicate glass balustrades overlooking the impressive entrance hall below, creates a wonderful sense of openness and architectural drama, while leading through to four of the six bedrooms. There are two principal bedroom suites on this level, both beautifully appointed and designed to take full advantage of the home’s elevated position. Each suite includes a dressing room leading through to an elegant en suite bathroom, creating a private and refined retreat. Both also enjoy direct access onto the balcony, allowing the views across the grounds, surrounding landscape and out towards the sea to be appreciated from the moment the day begins. A further bedroom on this floor benefits from its own en suite shower room and is currently arranged as an office, making it a particularly impressive workspace with the added advantage of a private balcony. Another bedroom enjoys views over the garden and has access to the adjacent bathroom, which is a real signature suite in its own right — beautifully finished and entirely in keeping with the quality found throughout the bathrooms on this level. From the landing, a door opens directly to the upper garden patio, where a hot tub is set within decking and complemented by an outdoor shower. It is a cleverly positioned lifestyle space, offering a private place to relax while continuing the home’s strong connection between inside and outside living. A final staircase rises to the upper level, where there are two further double bedrooms, both with their own en suite facilities. This arrangement provides excellent flexibility for family, guests or extended stays, ensuring each bedroom feels private, comfortable and beautifully considered. STEP OUTSIDE The sense of privacy and arrival at The Headlands is immediate. Electric gates open to reveal a sweeping driveway which ascends towards the house, the property itself discreetly hidden from the road. With each turn, there is a growing sense of intrigue and anticipation, passing the boat store and detached studio before arriving at the main residence, where ample parking awaits. Every element of the outside space has been carefully considered to complement the architecture, maximise the elevated coastal outlook and create a series of distinct areas for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the peaceful setting. Lighting has been thoughtfully positioned throughout the grounds, providing both practicality and atmosphere as day turns to evening. The principal ground floor terrace wraps from the entrance door around the eastern and southern aspects of the house, offering a collection of seating and entertaining areas designed to follow the sun as it moves around the building. Discreet glass balustrades enclose the terrace, preserving safety and definition without interrupting the panoramic views across the surrounding landscape and out towards the sea. On the southern side, the terrace flows onto a further patio. This creates an effortless connection between the main house and the wider amenities of the property, reinforcing the sense that each space has been designed with purpose and ease of use in mind. Steps also rise to the first floor patio, where a sunken hot tub is set within decking, complemented by an area of lawn. This space links beautifully back to the first floor balcony serving the principal bedroom suites, creating a private and luxurious retreat from which to enjoy the surroundings. The established landscaped grounds frame the plot with a range of attractive, low-maintenance shrubs, softening the contemporary lines of the house while allowing the views and architecture to remain the focus. Further steps rise to the highest point of the garden, where a dedicated seating area takes full advantage of the sunny aspect and spectacular elevated views — a fitting vantage point from which to appreciate the scale, privacy and beauty of this exceptional coastal home. USEFUL INFORMATION Tenure - Freehold Local Authority - Torbay District Council Council Tax - H EPC Rating - B Services - Mains gas, water, drainage and electric ENERGY EFFICIENCY This exceptional EPC “B” rated six-bedroom residence has been thoughtfully future-proofed, combining refined contemporary living with impressive energy efficiency.

Designed to work intelligently with a highly efficient off-peak tariff, currently 7.2p/kWh, the system allows the battery and electric vehicle to be charged overnight at a fraction of standard grid costs, while supporting near-total self-sufficiency during the sunnier months.

The premium Enphase architecture is completely modular, providing an exceptionally stable and future-ready foundation which can be expanded with additional battery storage or further vehicle chargers, tailored to the lifestyle needs of any incoming owner. It is a discreet yet highly valuable feature, enhancing not only the comfort and practicality of the home, but also its long-term efficiency and appeal.

INTRODUCTION Belton House is a truly exceptional coastal home, offering the perfect blend of luxury, space, and serenity. With breathtaking views over the coastline, this remarkable property is designed for those seeking both elegance and tranquility. Flooded with natural light, the spacious interiors span three floors and include five generously sized bedrooms and five bathrooms, offering comfort and flexibility for family life or entertaining guests. The garden is a standout feature — an oasis of calm inspired by the Italian Riviera. Mature Mediterranean planting, including a variety of palm trees, thrives in Torquay’s unique microclimate, creating a lush, exotic atmosphere that feels a world away from everyday life. A beautiful swimming pool completes this private paradise, and with Meadfoot Beach just a short walk away, Belton House truly offers the best of coastal living. This is a rare opportunity to own a peaceful and luxurious retreat in one of the South West’s most desirable locations. SELLERS INSIGHT “It was the garden that first drew me to Belton House. Having grown up in France, I had always dreamed of owning an orangery, and I knew I wanted an established garden, sea views, and — if I was lucky — a swimming pool. Belton House ticked every box. When I saw the wisteria bloom for the first time that May, I knew I’d found something truly special. For the past 15 years, I’ve poured love and care into creating a Mediterranean-style oasis, using no pesticides so that birds, bees, and butterflies could thrive here. Torquay’s unique microclimate has allowed me to grow a huge range of tropical and exotic plants that would never survive elsewhere in the UK. We moved here from London looking for a slower pace of life, proximity to the beach, and excellent schools. Meadfoot Beach is just a ten-minute walk away, and the local grammar schools and 20 nearby beaches made this an ideal location for our family. Despite the peaceful setting, we’re only minutes from Wellswood and its cafés, shops, and restaurants — and the Osborne Hotel is just down the road with an indoor pool and tennis court, which has suited our lifestyle perfectly. Inside, the house feels bright and spacious, with thick walls and large rooms that open up to the sea view. We later converted the attic to create even more space for our growing family. The layout has worked so well over the years — when the children were downstairs with friends, we could barely hear a sound! This home has been our sanctuary. We've hosted countless dinner parties and summer pool gatherings — it’s a sociable, open space, yet it often feels like we’re in the middle of nowhere. Our neighbours have become dear friends, and we’ve created so many memories here. The garden is my pride and joy and will be dearly missed. Belton House is unlike anywhere we’ve ever lived — it’s more than a home; it’s a lifestyle, a retreat, and a little piece of paradise.” STEP INSIDE Hidden behind a substantial stone wall and sleek sliding gate, Belton House is a true coastal retreat. From the moment you arrive in the courtyard — where a large feature pond surrounded by mature planting fills the air with the soothing sound of trickling water — you’re immediately immersed in a sense of peace and Mediterranean charm. Step inside to a bright, open hallway, where natural light pours through vertical window panes framing views of the pond. White-washed floorboards and crisp, clean walls give the home a calm, continental feel. For convenience, there is a cloakroom and WC off the hallway. The generously sized living room enjoys stunning ocean views through two large windows. A sleek built-in media unit and electric fireplace add warmth and function, making this a perfect space to unwind. The living room flows seamlessly into the dining room, which has patio doors opening onto a balcony overlooking the side courtyard. The flow continues into the stylish, contemporary kitchen, where patio doors lead to the front terrace and pond, allowing indoor and outdoor spaces to blend harmoniously. At its heart is a large central island with an electric hob, integrated sink, and dishwasher. A wall of cabinetry houses the fridge, freezer, oven, and microwave, creating a highly functional and beautifully designed space. Also on the ground floor is a spacious bedroom suite featuring fitted wardrobes, two large windows framing coastal views, and a luxurious ensuite with both a bath and a walk-in shower. On the first floor, a landing leads to a guest WC and a superb bedroom suite complete with a large double bedroom, dressing room, and an ensuite wet room. Velux windows draw in natural light and capture sea views, while the room is generous enough to accommodate additional living furniture — ideal for guests or extended family. The lower ground floor offers flexible living with three further double bedrooms: one with an ensuite bathroom, another with a Jack-and-Jill shower room connecting to the principal suite, which opens via patio doors onto the terrace overlooking the swimming pool. This level also features a well-equipped laundry room. Additionally, you'll find a study or library with fitted bookshelves, and a second reception room with patio doors leading out to the side courtyard — ideal as a garden room, home office, or additional lounge.

Introduction Belton Lodge is a substantial Victorian home in one of Torquay’s most sought-after positions, with beautiful southerly views across Tor Bay. Set behind a sweeping driveway and within gardens of around half an acre, it offers over 7,500 sq ft of versatile accommodation arranged over four floors. This is a home with real presence, excellent space and huge potential, offering a rare chance for a new owner to update, refine and create something exceptional in a prime coastal setting. The Inside The house opens into an impressive reception hall with a sweeping staircase rising to a galleried landing, immediately giving a sense of the scale and character found throughout. The main reception rooms are generous and elegant, with high ceilings, large windows and plenty of natural light. The drawing room is a standout space, with twin bay windows framing the view across the bay and doors linking through to the dining room. A conservatory opens onto the terrace and helps connect the house beautifully with the gardens. The kitchen/breakfast room sits at the heart of the ground floor and offers clear opportunity for a new owner to enhance and shape the space around modern family life. Alongside this are further everyday living areas including a lounge, bar area and cloakroom, giving the house a flexible layout that works equally well for family living and entertaining. The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the upper floors. On the first floor, three of the double bedrooms enjoy lovely sea views, while two further double bedrooms, en suites and additional bathrooms provide excellent family and guest accommodation. On the second floor there is a sixth bedroom and another bathroom, giving further flexibility depending on how the space is needed. In addition, the upper part of the tower has never been converted, offering exciting potential for a truly special viewing room or retreat, designed to make the very most of the exceptional outlook. The lower ground floor adds another layer of versatility and is a major part of the appeal here. With a billiard room, office, laundry, store rooms, workshop, wine cellar and additional cellar space, it offers huge scope for hobbies, working from home, wellness space, games room or further ancillary accommodation. There is also potential, subject to any required consents, to create a self-contained flat. The Outside Outside, Belton Lodge is complemented by established gardens and generous terraces that make the most of its sunny southerly aspect and far-reaching views across Tor Bay. A broad paved terrace wraps around the front and side of the house, creating a superb space for sitting, dining and entertaining, all with the bay as a beautiful backdrop. Beneath the terrace is a useful garden room with power and water connected, adding further practical flexibility. The gardens are a lovely feature of the property, combining areas of level lawn with mature trees, well-stocked borders, ornamental ponds, fruit trees, a vegetable garden and greenhouse. Altogether, the outside space feels private, established and full of potential for a new owner to enjoy and enhance over time. The approach to the house is particularly impressive, with a pillared entrance opening onto a sweeping driveway that leads to a generous parking and turning area in front of the twin garages. In addition, a pathway with steps leads down through the garden to Middle Lincombe Road, where there is a pedestrian gate providing useful secondary access. Location Belton Lodge sits in one of Torquay’s most sought-after residential positions, on the leafy Lincombes hillside above the coastline and close to some of the area’s best-known lifestyle attractions. From here, Meadfoot Beach is nearby for morning swims, paddleboarding and coastal walks, while Wellswood offers a good selection of cafés, restaurants, pubs, independent shops and everyday amenities. Torquay harbour and marina are also within easy reach, bringing a more vibrant waterside feel with restaurants, bars, sailing and waterfront walks all close at hand. For buyers who enjoy eating out, the area is particularly well placed. Torquay harbour is home to The Elephant, Simon Hulstone’s Michelin-starred restaurant, which has retained its star in the 2026 Michelin Guide and remains one of the South West’s standout dining destinations. The sporting and leisure offering is also strong. Torquay Golf Club, one of the area’s best-known courses, is around three miles from the town centre and offers a well-established parkland course with lovely coastal views. The marina and harbour area further add to the appeal, creating a setting that works just as well for boating enthusiasts as it does for those simply wanting to enjoy the atmosphere of the English Riviera. Despite its peaceful setting, the property is well connected. Torquay railway station provides onward links to London Paddington and beyond, Newton Abbot offers mainline services, and Exeter along with the M5 are within straightforward reach. This is a location that combines privacy, coastline, good amenities and a genuine lifestyle feel, which is exactly why homes in the Lincombes remain so consistently sought after.

INTRODUCTION Meadfoot House is an elegant and beautifully refurbished period home, equally ideal for a growing family or as a virtually maintenance free holiday home of distinction, positioned moments from the sea. Carved from the main wing of an award-winning hotel, it is a highly individual and charismatic residence that gives a wonderful sense of arrival the moment you step inside. High ceilings, ornate detailing, feature glazing and beautifully preserved character immediately set the tone, while the interiors have been carefully re-planned and finished with an exceptional eye for design.  (The contents are available by separate negotiation, offering a highly convenient turnkey purchase if required).  Extensively and thoughtfully renovated throughout, the property combines impressive architectural detail with the reassurance of significant modern upgrades, including rewiring, replumbing, new dual-zone central heating, state of the art fire alarm system, new flooring throughout, refurbished sash windows and new loft insulation. All work is fully certified and meets the latest building standards.  The adjoining property (previously the rear of the hotel) sits discreetly behind and is accessed from a different road, giving Meadfoot House the privacy and presence of an individual residence. Just a 2-3 minute stroll from Meadfoot Beach, within easy reach of Wellswood village and the restaurants around Torquay’s marina, this is a striking coastal residence that offers both lifestyle and convenience in one of Torquay’s most desirable settings.  SELLERS INSIGHT “There’s always something special about coming home to Meadfoot. From the top of Meadfoot Sea Road, with the fresh sea air and the beautiful bay slowly revealing itself, it feels calm, welcoming and almost a world apart, with its own gentle microclimate. Meadfoot House is set back from the road up a driveway, so it’s very private even though it’s a 2-3 minute walk to Meadfoot Beach. Like its setting, it’s a welcoming, generous house, full of big spaces, high ceilings and beautiful detailing. It’s gracious and full of light, with floor to ceiling sash windows on the ground floor. It’s comfortable too: warm in the winter and cool in the summer with the original 800mm thick walls. When we decided to convert the house from a boutique hotel, our aim was to restore the original elegance while creating a house that flows well, especially on the ground floor which lends itself to being the perfect party space. The room configuration works for both couples or large families, and we ensured there would be plenty of storage space too. Great care was taken to preserve the character while bringing the house into the 21st century. Above all, it has always been a happy and tranquil building. Guests loved arriving here when it was a hotel, but it now feels exactly as it was always meant to be: an extraordinary home. The location is equally special. Meadfoot Beach is loved by paddleboarders and swimmers, with a café enjoying wonderful sea views. Beautiful walks are on the doorstep, while Ilsham Green and Wellswood village are a short drive away, offering a pub, grocery store, deli/café, patisserie, florist and more. In the other direction, The Elephant (a superb Michelin starred restaurant) and the best fish restaurant in the bay is around 10 minutes away. It is this combination of privacy, elegance, lifestyle and location that makes Meadfoot so special.” STEP INSIDE The entrance porch opens into a highly impressive hallway, where the sense of scale is immediately apparent. High ceilings, ornate detailing and an eye-catching feature wall create a memorable first impression, while the subtle Art Deco influence adds a layer of individuality and character. Clever design is evident from the outset, with a concealed door leading to a substantial cloakroom, as well as a further hidden door opening into a large coat and boot room. The staircase rises elegantly to the first floor, reinforcing the grandeur and period charm that continues throughout the home. The drawing room is a beautiful and atmospheric space, rich in character and architectural detail. Decorative ceiling roses, panelled walls, dado rails and a feature fireplace all speak to the age and quality of the property, while floor-to-ceiling glazing, sash windows and original wooden shutters allow natural light to pour into the room. It is a space that feels both refined and inviting, equally suited to quiet evenings and more formal entertaining. The dining room is another exceptional reception space, designed for gathering and entertaining. Further ceiling detailing is complemented by a contemporary pendant light, bringing a stylish modern contrast to the period setting. A floor-to-ceiling bay window with sash windows and wooden shutters overlooks the front garden, creating a wonderful sense of space, light and elegance. The kitchen has been designed with taste and restraint, carefully balancing modern convenience with a style that remains entirely in keeping with the home. There is a brand new large fridge freezer, integrated microwave, large range-style oven with extractor and integrated dishwasher, along with excellent storage through a combination of cupboards and drawers. A breakfast bar provides seating for two, making this a sociable and practical everyday space. French doors open directly from the kitchen to the courtyard, creating an effortless connection between the inside and outside. Double doors also lead through to the family room, allowing the principal reception spaces to flow beautifully together. The family room leads onto outside space at both ends. The library section opens onto the courtyard whilst French doors at the other end of the room open onto the patio and front garden. This is a lovely informal corner of the home, ideal for reading, working, games or simply enjoying a quieter space. Going from the entrance hallway to the back of the house, there is a light, airy study with a pleasant tree-lined outlook over the driveway.

A generous utility room provides worktops, cupboards and a window overlooking the courtyard. This is a highly useful space as it stands, while also offering potential for further adaptation depending on a buyer’s needs. Next to the utility room, and with access to the courtyard, is a room that is ideal for storage, practical household use or possible future conversion. There is a further storage room right at the end. The first floor is arranged with excellent flexibility and a sense of privacy between the principal bedroom spaces. The principal suite is particularly impressive. Accessed via a lobby, it includes a generous double bedroom with large sash windows overlooking the garden. Steps lead down to a substantial dressing room or nursery, complete with fitted wardrobes and mirrored doors. The arrangement gives this part of the house a lovely private-suite feel, while retaining flexibility for family use. The bathroom serving this suite is sensational. Beautifully decorated and finished to an exacting standard, it features a bay window overlooking the garden with low-level shutters, twin sinks set into a vanity unit, a freestanding bath, brass fittings, a separate shower and a separate WC for privacy. Fully panelled and elegantly styled, it is a bathroom that feels both luxurious and timeless. One of the strengths of this layout is its flexibility. The bathroom is accessed from the lobby rather than directly from the bedroom, meaning it can be used more communally if required. Alternatively, by closing the door to the lobby, the entire area becomes a private principal suite. There are four further generous double bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room. Each room is beautifully presented and continues the home’s sense of scale and quality. Another outstanding bathroom serves this part of the house, with twin sinks, panelled walls, a freestanding bath with freestanding tap, WC and double shower. There is also a separate cloakroom.

Throughout, the decoration is exceptional. Every room has been carefully considered, with an elegant palette, beautiful finishes and a cohesive sense of style. With new flooring throughout, refurbished sash windows and new loft insulation, the home has been upgraded with both appearance and performance in mind. The contents may be available by separate negotiation, creating the opportunity for a buyer to acquire a beautifully furnished home ready for immediate occupation. STEP OUTSIDE The outside space has been arranged to provide a balance of parking, garden, privacy and sunny seating areas. To the front, there is ample parking for several vehicles, with space for approximately six cars, together with an EV charger and a useful bike storage area. There is also a separate entrance, accessed from the driveway, with steps to a spacious lower ground floor room that could convert into a cinema room, gym, games room or used for storage. The front garden includes a patio area adjacent to the family room, creating a lovely setting from which to enjoy the outlook over the garden and the architecture of the house itself. Catching the sun up to midday and sometimes late afternoon, it is an ideal space for an outdoor table and chairs, to enjoy an alfresco breakfast, lunch or quiet drink at the end of the day. The remainder of the garden is mainly laid to lawn, with established planting, shrubs and attractive borders adding colour and structure. Steps lead down through the garden to a further landscaped area laid to stone, beautifully screened from the road by mature planting, which catches the afternoon sun. A pathway from the patio area at the front leads back around to the rear courtyard, linking the garden naturally with the kitchen, utility and rear areas of the house. The courtyard provides a private and sunny aspect, offering another attractive outside space for informal seating, morning coffee or relaxed entertaining. The combination of formal garden, raised terrace, courtyard, ample parking, EV charging and practical storage gives the home a highly usable and versatile exterior.

SELLERS INSIGHT “When we bought the house over 20 years ago, we never looked back. We knew we wanted to be close to the sea and within an established, executive road, and whilst we viewed other properties with perhaps more immediate kerb appeal, we instantly fell in love with the space and feel of Villa Nova. It’s a home that is incredibly bright, easy to maintain, and has adapted effortlessly to every stage of our lives. The lift has provided us with ease of living and the property has been fully accessible even with a wheelchair. When the family come to stay, there is more than enough room for everyone, yet it feels equally comfortable for just two—particularly in more recent years, where being able to live predominantly on one level has been such a benefit. One of the things we have loved most is the connection to the outside. Having access to the garden and terraces from so many rooms is a real joy—it allows you to truly live both inside and out, whether that’s enjoying a quiet morning coffee or hosting family and friends in the warmer months. The location has been equally special. From coastal walks and nearby shops to the ease of accessing further afield, it offers the perfect balance of lifestyle and convenience. We are moving to be closer to family, but we leave with a house full of memories and feel very fortunate to have called this our home for so many years.”
