Approached along its own sweeping driveway, and commanding spectacular views towards Torquay Marina, this appealing property stands detached in a quiet corner of Lower Livermead, just a stroll from the seafront.
A pillared main entrance leads into a spacious interior, which boasts an attractive fireplace in the lounge, a sunny conservatory and an extensive range of Rosewood units in the kitchen, all of which enjoy superb sea views.
Three of the four bedrooms have sea views, the fourth overlooks the garden, rich in vegetation and housing an attractive summerhouse, as well as furnished patio areas in which to relax on warm summer days and balmy evenings. The landing leads onto a sun balcony, which runs the length of the house and affords stunning far-reaching views over the bay and surrounding area.
Mead House is conveniently placed for exploring the region. It lies a short walk from the seafront, several beaches, and bus stops, and within walking distance of bars, shops, parks, a railway station and the centres of Torquay, Paignton and Cockington.
There are many excellent beaches along the coastline, some offering boat or pedalo hire; choose from Abbey Sands, Meadfoot Beach, Goodrington Sands and a string of beaches and coves leading to Watcombe and Maidencombe. Paignton Zoo, Woodland Leisure Park, the model village at Babbacombe and the Paignton & Dartmouth Steam Railway all make for fun days out for families. Travelling inland, the town of Totnes offers a wealth of history - visit its classic Norman castle, local museum and the 14th-century Dartington Hall. Also well worth a visit is the idyllic village of Cockington, which offers its visitors an impressive Manor House, a craft centre, a pub, as well as pretty woodland walks along the shores of its lakes. Dartmoor National Park is within reach for scenic day trips. Golf and bird-watching opportunities locally. Three bars within a 5-minute walk, and local pubs within a mile.
