This grand five-bedroom Victorian villa in Meadfoot combines striking period detail with contemporary comfort across approximately 4,333 sq ft. Newly renovated throughout, the house retains original cornices, tall sash bays and Victorian floor tiles while benefiting from a full rewire, replumb and a new boiler — ready for immediate family occupancy.
Rooms are generous and light: a formal drawing room and expansive dining room sit alongside a modern kitchen with quartz island and a large reception room that opens to both front and rear gardens. The principal suite spans the front with a large dressing room and an en suite featuring a freestanding bath in the bay. A versatile basement room and separate study add practical workspace and hobby potential.
Outdoor space is notable — a south-facing courtyard directly off the kitchen plus a flat front lawn, mature planting and an exceptionally large plot. There’s a private tarmacked driveway with off-street parking for several cars. The house sits in the sought-after Meadfoot conservation area, a short walk from Blue Flag Meadfoot Beach and the coastal path, with Torquay town centre and rail links nearby.
Important practical points: the property lies in Council Tax Band H (very expensive) and the wider area records signs of local deprivation; buyers should factor higher running costs and local socio-economic context into their decision. The building’s original granite walls are assumed uninsulated, which may affect long-term energy efficiency despite the new boiler and double glazing.
