Cosy fireplaces add warmth and ambience to the interior, while an inviting outdoor deck features an Electrolux plumbed-in gas BBQ, outdoor fireplace, and Kett outdoor furniture, perfect for alfresco entertaining.

Two distinct living areas, furnished with premium furniture and fittings, offer ample space for relaxation. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two powder rooms add to the flexibility of this beautiful home. A private study area is perfect for those needing to balance work and leisure.

The separate master suite occupies its own level and boasts a light-filled bedroom with private balcony, fireplace, and luxuriously large spa-like ensuite—your ultimate retreat. Two additional guest bedrooms are equally inviting, featuring comfy beds and thoughtful touches that ensure a restful stay.

The gourmet kitchen includes quality homewares, crockery and glassware, and features high-end appliances including a Gaggenau oven; everything you’ll need to balance relaxed dining whilst entertaining in style.

The ground level north-facing courtyard offers a secluded retreat and pet-friendly security. A hot/cold outdoor shower for after-swim clean-up makes this the perfect spot to lie in the sun after a morning on Torquay’s famed beaches.
