Character-filled two-bedroom cottage with sea views and landscaped garden, ideal for downsizers.
Sea views from principal bedroom
This recently renovated two-bedroom detached cottage in Wellswood combines Edwardian character with modern finishes, ideal for downsizers seeking a compact, low-maintenance home near the sea. The principal bedroom enjoys sea views and built-in wardrobes; the bright living room with decorative fireplace opens to a sunlit conservatory that extends the living space. The fitted kitchen with Belfast sink and integrated appliances feels practical and well laid-out for two. The landscaped garden provides paved seating areas for easy outdoor living without heavy upkeep. Practical comforts include double glazing and gas central heating throughout, making the property comfortable year-round. Buyers should note the house is small at about 521 sq ft, so storage and space are limited compared with larger family homes. The building is an older granite/whinstone construction typical of the period and is assumed to lack wall insulation, so further insulating work could improve energy efficiency. The property sits within a conservation area and has a tree preservation order, which preserves local character but restricts external changes and some garden works. Overall, this cottage will suit someone looking to downsize to a charming, walkable location close to Wellswood shops and Torquay seafront, who values character and a tidy, modern interior over extensive living space.
