Torquay, Devon

6 THATCHER HEIGHTS

Thatcher Heights is an exclusive gated development of just eight houses situated within one of Torquay’s finest locations.

Number 6 offers beautifully appointed accommodation set over three floors with panoramic views across Torbay enjoyed from the ground floor and first floor levels.

Originally a four bedroom house, the current owners utilised the fourth bedroom as a dressing room to the master bedroom. Should one wish to revert to the original layout, this could easily be done. There is a lovely dual aspect lounge and dining room leading through to a well-appointed, bespoke kitchen / breakfast room. There is a cloakroom to the ground floor level, shower room to the master bedroom and family bathroom, both of which are to the first floor level. The lower ground floor offers a utility room, TV room or gymnasium and there is additional useful storage and integral access to the double garage.

Outside of the double garage is private driveway parking for an additional car and steps to the side lead up to the front of the house and front garden. The main garden is located to the front of the house making the most of the outstanding views. There is a level sun terrace interconnecting the main living room and a large balcony accessed from the main bedroom enjoying breathtaking views out to Thatcher Rock and beyond.

This really is a house that needs to be viewed to be fully appreciated, particularly with some of the finest views you will find in South Devon. If you are seeking a waterside lifestyle with sheltered beaches and boating opportunities, then Torbay and Thatcher Heights provide the perfect location.

STEP INSIDE

From the main entrance hallway, several rooms radiate off it. There is a cloakroom / wc, access up to the first floor via a feature curved staircase and a door leading into the living room and dining room. This is a light and spacious ‘open plan room’ with a feature inset gas fire to the living room part and door leading out to the front sun terrace affording fabulous views. From the dining room a door leads into a bespoke kitchen with room for table and chairs as well. The kitchen offers a comprehensive range of modern base level and wall mounted units with integrated appliances and space for a tallstanding fridge freezer. Again, there are views out to the bay to the front of this room and tilt and slide patio doors head out to a small rear section of paved garden. From the kitchen, stairs lead down to the lower ground floor level which provides a utility area, TV or games room (without window) and there is additional useful storage and an integral double garage.

A feature curved staircase with oak balustrade leads up to a spacious landing area with a vaulted ceiling, roof light and handy storage cupboard. Currently, the property offers three good size bedrooms with a dressing room, modern family bathroom suite and en suite shower room to the master bedroom. As previously mentioned, the property was built as a four bedroom home and the layout could be reconfigured should one wish. Both bathrooms provide high quality suites within fully tiled rooms and there is access to the large balcony via the master bedroom with views that really have to be seen to be appreciated.

STEP OUTSIDE

Number 6 affords easy to maintain outside spaces with the main areas situated to the front of the property making the most of the panoramic views. There is a level, tiled sun terrace to the ground floor level leading into the main living room and there is a large balcony to the first floor level affording even finer views across the bay towards Brixham, Paignton and Livermead.

To the rear of the house is a narrow strip of paved garden providing useful storage. The meters are situated here and the wall marks the boundary with maintenance of the land above covered under the costs of the management company. Similarly, the land to the front of the development leading down to Ilsham Marine Drive is looked after and maintained by the management company. Works undertaken include the trimming of trees and bushes and cutting of grass. There is outside lighting and an electric gate into the development with costs covering upkeep divided equally between the houses in Thatcher Heights.
