Set on Wolborough Hill with uninterrupted views over Decoy Country Park and the Torbay coastline, this contemporary detached house blends modern living with generous outdoor space. The home’s open-plan kitchen and living areas maximise the panorama via full-height glazing and glass-balustrade terraces, while three double bedrooms (two with en-suites) suit a growing family or professionals wanting a principal suite with walk-in wardrobe and private balcony.
Practical, energy-conscious features include fitted solar PV (generating about £2,500 pa) and a recently installed gas boiler (2023). The kitchen and utility are high-spec with quartz worktops, integrated appliances and a sizeable island, and CAT6 cabling runs through the main rooms for reliable connectivity. A single garage, driveway and multiple decked terraces provide secure parking and excellent entertaining options.
Externally the multi-level, landscaped garden is arranged for social zoning—decked dining areas, a firepit, pond, lawn and separate garden office—while a cellar and garden storage add useful practicality. The elevated position gives easy access to local schools, Decoy Country Park facilities and fast transport links to Exeter, Torbay and Plymouth by road and rail.
Notable considerations: the house is multi-storey with external steps from the garage and internal staircases, so it may be less suitable for limited mobility. Council tax is above average. Double glazing is present but the install dates are unspecified; buyers should confirm ages of windows and other wear items during survey. Overall, this is a well-specified family home with strong views, good connectivity and meaningful renewable income.
