Summary - 20a Mead Road TQ2 6TF
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious coastal home with heated pool and huge terraced gardens.
Near 180° panoramic sea views over Tor Bay
Cliff Lodge occupies a commanding Livermead hillside position with near 180° sea views across Tor Bay — the living spaces and terraces are arranged to make the most of that outlook. The southerly tiered garden and heated outdoor swimming pool create a Mediterranean-style outdoor living zone, ideal for family entertaining and relaxed coastal living. The large footprint (circa 2,500 sq ft) and generous room sizes suit flexible family use, including two en suites and a sizable integral garage/workshop.
Inside, the house is presented in good order with an open-plan feel to the principal reception rooms and a well-equipped kitchen with island and integrated appliances. Practical features include a utility room, cloakroom, and glazed doors that bring light and views into the living spaces. Several bedrooms take full advantage of the bay panorama, and there are useful storage cupboards, a sauna and family bathroom for everyday comfort.
Notable practical points: the property dates from the 1950s–1960s and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy-efficiency upgrades (insulation, glazing/boiler replacement in future) could be worthwhile. The EPC is D (65) and council tax sits in Band G, so running costs will be higher than average. The hillside setting requires negotiating steps and terraces, which should be considered for accessibility.
For families seeking an established coastal home with exceptional views and generous outdoor space, Cliff Lodge offers rare scale and a superb location close to Torquay seafront, rail links and Cockington Country Park. The plot and layout also present scope for further modernisation or investment to improve efficiency and personalise the house to contemporary tastes.
