About the home

8 Torwood Gables is a 3 bedroom mid-terraced stone built house that is one of a number of properties converted from a former school building in Meadfoot Lane, Torquay.

The house still has original wooden beams and windows and has recently been completely refurbished to a high standard, with luxury fittings and contemporary furnishings. It has a solid wood flooring in living area, ceramic tiles in kitchen and bathroom and fitted carpet on the stairs and in the bedrooms.

The location is quiet, yet is a few minutes walk down the hill to the town centre and harbour where you will find The Princess Theatre, and the pleasant waterfront walks along the marina. The popular Fleet Walk Shopping Centre is also close by.

You will find numerous restaurants and bars on Torwood Street and around the inner harbour plus upmarket restaurant, The Orange Tree, is just a 1 minute walk away in Parkhill Road. Living Coasts, Torquays coastal zoo, is another 2-minute walk.

Torre Abbey Sands and Meadfoot beach are within walking distance, as is the Torquay stretch of the South West coast path. The medieval Torre Abbey is around 5 minutes walk away and other nearby attractions such as the Babbacombe Model Village, Kents Cavern and Bygones are a short drive away.

Torwood Gables benefits from on-site parking.

The West Country / Devon region

With lush rolling hills, green lanes and golden beaches, it is easy to see why Devon is such a popular holiday destination. Whether you want to soak up its stunning scenery, try one of its many activities or indulge in some fabulous food, Devon is an ideal destination for a truly memorable self catering holiday.

In September South Devon hosts a walking festival with a wide variety of activities taking place. For more information on the festival please see http://www.southdevonwalkingfestival.co.uk/.

The Torquay area

The heart of the town is the harbour which is lined with cafes, bars and restaurants; a great place to watch the world go by. From here, take a pleasant stroll along the marina with the area’s trademark palm trees, or hop on a boat for a cruise across the bay or round to Dartmouth. The Living Coasts, The Princess Theatre and Pavilion shops are also located here. Torquay is rich in Victorian architecture and identity as the country’s first ‘resort’.

Torquay is host to many more attractions, including Babbacombe Model Village, Kents Cavern, Torquay Museum. Or take a trip back through time to Cockington Village where thatched roofs prevail and watch a blacksmith working in the 14th Century forge.

Those looking for a beach will not be disappointed either. Torquay is the ‘sandcastle capital of the UK’ offering the ideal mix of sand and water, according to research conducted by Bournemouth University. With five Torquay beaches currently holding Blue Flag Awards for cleanliness and quality, you really are spoilt for choice.
