DESCRIPTION
Set proudly elevated in its plot, this FINE SEMI-DETACHED PERIOD RESIDENCE commands open views over the neighbouring green and across the surrounding area toward St Matthews Church. A loved family home to our clients, Wynscombe has been thoughtfully redesigned and comprehensively refurbished to create a simply stunning property. Wynscombe is enviably positioned in one of Torquay's prestigious locations close to Torquay's Sea Front and Cockington Country Park which covers circa 460 acres of woodland, lakes and meadows. Local 'village' shops at Walnut Road are just a short saunter away, whilst Torquay's Train Station is equally accessible, just one stop from the main line Newton Abbot with direct links to most major cities. A selection of highly regarded schools, including nationally recognised Grammar Schools are equally accessible.
OWNER'S INSIGHT
"Wynscombe has been a wonderful home for our family. When we took over the old house it was in need of a lot of love, but we had a clear vision of how the property would work best, and set about redesigning and renovating. Beyond the visible work was a lot carried out now unseen, including a full re-wire and re-plumb. The house is large enough to provide us all with peaceful spaces, yet not too large to lose the comfortable homely feel. We do not envisage the new owners will have to worry about work beyond the usual maintenance for many years to come. The location was a huge draw for us, with Cockington Park, Walnut Road Shops, train station and sea front virtually on the doorstep. The local schooling is exceptional, and the Girls Grammar a key factor in our move to Wynscombe. It will be a sad day when we shut the door for the last time, and are only moving due to a need to relocate away from Devon."
