SITUATIONLocated in the heart of the English Riviera famed for its mild climate andcrystal clear waters interspersed with palm fringed sandy beaches. Thisgrand anchorage was favoured by the Royal Navy during the NapoleonicWars and Torquay soon benefited from their presence as smart houseswere built to accommodate the officers. With a mild south-facing aspect, miles of sandy beaches and the arrival ofthe railway in 1848 Torquay's growth as a holiday destination for the richand famous was spectacular. Tor Bay was chosen for the 1948 Olympicsailing events hosted by the Royal Torbay Yacht Club. The harbour, withits large marina, palm trees and subtropical gardens, elegant Georgianterraces, as well as a myriad of bars and restaurants, one with Michelin-starred cuisine, remains the most attractive area.

DESCRIPTIONSet in nearly two acres of beautiful communal gardens this terrific gradeII* listed town house was constructed in the 1830's to the design of theHarvey brothers and based on the Regency developments of the time inboth London and Brighton. Constructed over two levels and stuccoedunder a slate roof, this desperately pretty terrace is arranged around aprivate park for the exclusive use of the residents. This spacious propertyis beautifully presented and offers flexible accommodation, extending toin excess of three thousand square feet of comfortable living, which couldalso offer annexe or separate living potential.    

ACCOMMODATIONSituated in a quiet and exclusive residential road in one of the mostfavoured areas of Torquay, Wellswood Park is a fine example of a superiortownhouse. The relationship between the houses and park is anexceptionally attractive representation of suburban design. On enteringthe house, one immediately senses the precise attention to detail of thepresent owners. The quality is revealed as you pass from room to roomand this quality is endorsed by the appropriate decorative style andappealing interior design. The drawing room, dining room and kitchen/breakfast rooms are all elegant, with ornate period features. This substantial period family home benefits from an abundance ofreception accommodation that is in keeping with the rest of the property.There is also a basement that offers valuable storage space. The principal bedrooms are on the first floor, consisting of a masterbedroom with en-suite bathroom, three further bedrooms, a familybathroom and shower room plus linen room.
