1 bed flat for sale

Wellswood, Torquay TQ1

Ilsham House stands prominently in the very heart of leafy Wellswood, with this apartment occupying a fourth floor position enjoying an open aspect toward the tree lined Asheldon Road. The development benefits from lift access to all levels, a communal laundry, sheltered courtyard garden area, and ample parking where there is an allocated space for the flat and additional visitor provisions.

Ilsham House is virtually a stone's throw from the local amenities at Ilsham Road, with Wellswood retaining a ‘village’ ambiance and selection of shops which include a fine delicatessen, restaurant, pub, chemist, post office, florist and travel agent. Following Ilsham Road down through the picturesque Ilsham Valley takes you to Meadfoot Beach, a heaven for water sports and popular Meadfoot Beach Cafe.

EPC Rating: D

Owner's Insight

"I watched Ilsham House being built and moved in from new in 1975, then took the option to purchase my flat in 1982. I've certainly seen quite a few changes over the past 49 years, and I still dearly love my home, but my family are wanting me closer so i'm heading north again.

The location is simply perfect. Everything I could need is on the doorstep, and I even previously worked at Kents Cavern so no excuse for being late! Ilsham House is a friendly community, and I hope the next owners experience as much enjoyment and longevity here as I have."
