The property is conveniently located with near by Wellswood, with its range of vibrant independent shops and cafes currently anchored by the Co op local and soon to be joined by Sainsbury's. Wellswood also benefits from a well regarded primary school and independent Stoodley Knowle.

SITUATION The Headland is substantial detached period style property, constructed to take full advantage of its lofty position and the spectacular views afforded from its principal rooms. The views take in not only out to Paignton and Brixham but also the Jurassic coastline, Lyme Bay and out to Portland Bill in the far distance.



In its current format the property presents as a renovation or redevelopment opportunity subject to obtaining any necessary consents and is arranged as the primary period residence with a substantial addition in the past. Prospective buyers are encouraged to make their own independent enquiries regarding these matters.

The annexe in brief comprises two reception rooms, kitchen, shower room and two bedrooms. There is garaging for multiple vehicles, additional parking, cellar rooms and although in need of some repair now, a former recording studio.



Whilst in need some investment to restore or redevelop this is most certainly an exciting and unusual acquisition opportunity not to be missed and we anticipate considerable interest.

OUTSIDE The property sits on an elevated plot that takes full advantage of the spectacular views it has to offer. Some of the highlights of the gardens include the remains of a walled garden and fountain. A lawned area at the rear of the property and perhaps the most striking feature, the terrace to the front of the property which really does offer an outstanding and commanding view over the surrounding area and out to sea and beyond.A cursory measurement would suggest the garden is in excess of ½ acre.



There is abundance of mature trees and shrubs throughout the grounds and there are numerous areas to sit and enjoy the tranquillity and privacy afforded within the gardens. There is of course a gated driveway which leads up to the first garage (please see below) and continues to a further parking area and beyond to the under croft parking/garages beneath the annexe.

 

OUTBUILDINGS Garage
