Description

This Victorian villa, steeped in history and character, is situated in the desirable Lincombes area, offering spectacular vistas over Tor Bay. Approached by a lengthy driveway, the property is conveniently located near Wellswood's boutique cafes and the vibrant Torquay Harbour, amidst beautiful coastal scenery and sandy beaches. Originally built in the 1840s for Lady Emma Sophia Edgcumbe, this impressive residence boasts six spacious bedrooms with original features that reflect its storied past. While it currently serves as a private home with gas central heating and double-glazing, there exists significant scope for renovation to modernize the interiors or adapt the space for dual family living. Options for reconfiguration may include establishing guest accommodations or turning it into an arts retreat or small conference center, all subject to appropriate consents. The extensive gardens and parking facilities further enhance its appeal as a standout investment opportunity in one of Torbay's most sought-after locales.
