This remarkable Grade II listed home combines historical significance, versatile living, and an enviable coastal setting. Generous in scale, it can be enjoyed as an impressive three/four-bedroom family residence or adapted to provide a self-contained one-bedroom annexe alongside the main accommodation (see floor plan).
Steeped in history, the property was built in the 1840s and famously served as part of the home for Isambard Kingdom Brunel and his family during the mid-19th century. Period features abound, from elegant sash windows and original shutters to characterful fireplaces, timber doors, and flagstone flooring, all carefully preserved to reflect the refinement of the Victorian era.
The landscaped grounds, extending to around a quarter of an acre, are thoughtfully arranged to maximise sea views. A full-width decked sun terrace provides the ideal vantage point, with expansive lawns, raised pathways, ponds, and a summerhouse offering both charm and seclusion. The setting is one of peace and natural beauty, enhanced by the surrounding greenery, hedgerows, and mature trees.
Practical benefits include off-road driveway parking for three vehicles. The location strikes an ideal balance between tranquillity and accessibility: nestled on the fringes of Torquay, the property lies close to the renowned South West Coast Path, the unspoilt Watcombe Beach, and the dramatic coastal scenery of Labrador Bay.
