Dart Bank has provided a comfortable family home for the current owners with the property situated within a level, private garden with light and spacious accommodation set over three levels.The property is generous in size yet not too large and unmanageable.

For the previous twenty years it had been operated as a hotel and become increasingly neglected. The once fine house had rendering crumbling from the walls, the drive was a sea of mud and inside was a disaster. Scroll forward and I look round now and see the testimony to what a lot of hard work and tender loving care can accomplish. Over the years we painstakingly chipped away and turned the house back to what it had once been and in doing so gave it back its self respect.The day after we moved in our youngest son was born and our three children look back on their childhood home with the utmost affection. It has been the perfect family home.Over the course of its 120 years it has seen not only the Taylor family grow up, but a whole cast of walk-on characters including a former Alderman and leading citizen in town and a prominent suffragette who was jailed for trying to burn down the tearooms in Kew gardens. But in all those years it has only ever had five owners and now it is time for another. Yes we will pass the baton on with a twinge of regret, but also with gratitude that we had the good fortune to live in this beautiful house and in the hope that the new owner enjoys and cares for it as much as we have done.STEP INSIDE Dart Bank is an attractive property with pleasant external aesthetics and character features. This is very much mirrored with the accommodation inside the house which is beautifully presented.The main entrance into the Villa is from a stylish entrance conservatory an attractive tiled floor and this room doubles up as a reception in itself due to its size. This in turn leads to a spacious hallway with access to upper and lower floors as well as the main receptions which radiate off it. As with many homes of this size, there is a great deal of adaptability as to how the rooms can be used. Currently, there are two reception rooms off the hallway in the form of a dining room (currently used as a study) and large bay fronted living room with pleasant views over the garden. The kitchen / breakfast room is another spacious room with windows making the very most of the pleasant views on offer. A small half landing provides access to a further reception room or guest bedroom, utility room, cloakroom / wc and lobby with a secondary access point leading outside.The lower ground floor level provides a multitude of opportunities. Currently, the receptions are used for recreational usage with a pool table room, gymnasium, sauna and jacuzzi. With its own entrance to the side and toilet and shower facilities there is an excellent opportunity to create a self contained annex for a relative or a possible income stream should one wish.A light and spacious first floor landing presents five well proportioned bedrooms leading off it. The two principle bedrooms are extremely generous double bedrooms with bay windows overlooking the garden with fantastic views across Torquay which really must be seen to be fully appreciated. The master bedroom also provides a modern en suite shower room and there is a separate family bathroom and toilet on this level.STEP OUTSIDE Dart Bank occupies a plot of 0.33 acre and provides extensive off road parking (from two entrances) and a double garage and beautifully landscaped private grounds. There is a fabulous elevated sun terrace that overlooks the main garden below which is level, laid to lawn and child friendly.

we saw Rock Edge we both fell in love with it.  The sea views were simply breathtaking and we enjoy them as much today as we did the first time we visited.Over the years we have constantly updated the property to modern standards and although we have considered extending upwards, we have always felt that the accommodation on offer provided us with everything we needed.  The close proximity to the town centre, coast path walks, access to Daddyhole Plain and the marina was a key factor for us buying, particularly as it is only a short five minute walk down the hill.We hope that the new buyers will enjoy Rock Edge as much as we have, it certainly is a very special home.STEP INSIDE On entering the property it is very clear that this is a house of exceptional quality and is immaculately
