Elegant Coastal Living in Sought-After Livermead – Substantial Family Home with Sea-View Annexe

Positioned in the highly desirable Livermead area of Torquay, this exceptional family residence with a self-contained studio annexe offers generous and versatile living in a prime coastal setting. Ideally located, it’s just a short stroll to local shops, a well-regarded primary school, scenic woodland walks through Scadson and Manscombe, and the golden sands of Livermead and Corbyn Head beaches. For commuters, Torquay railway station is within easy reach, offering regular direct services to London Paddington, alongside convenient access to the A380 and M5.

Beautifully arranged over two floors, the main house combines classic proportions with contemporary comfort. The ground floor features a welcoming hallway, elegant living and dining rooms, a spacious kitchen/breakfast room with garden access, a utility, wet room, and an expansive family room with double doors opening onto the landscaped garden — the perfect space for entertaining or relaxing.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite enjoys views towards the marina from a Juliet balcony and benefits from a stylish en-suite shower room. A second bedroom also enjoys marina views, while bedrooms three and four each offer private walk-in dressing areas. A sleek family bathroom completes the upper level.

Adding flexibility to the accommodation, the detached studio annexe is ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or holiday letting. It features a bright open-plan living space with kitchenette and sea views, along with a private wet room.

Outside, the property is equally impressive. A large forecourt provides ample parking for multiple vehicles — including space for a motorhome or boat — alongside a double garage. To the rear, the expansive garden is beautifully landscaped for both family life and entertaining, featuring a generous lawn, two sun-soaked terraces (one with a charming pergola), and a bespoke outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven — all set against a backdrop that includes glimpses of Torquay Marina.

This is an exceptional home offering the perfect blend of coastal lifestyle, flexible living space, and modern convenience — a true gem in one of Torbay’s most coveted neighbourhoods.
