Belton Lodge Higher Lincombe Road Torquay Devon TQ1 2EY SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION Belton Lodge Is a very substantial Victorian property situated in a highly regarded residential area with spectacular southerly views across Torbay to Berry Head and the open sea. The house comprises by far the larger part of a highly impressive villa which dates from the mid 1800 s and it retains gracious rooms so typical of the period together with a host of character features including intricate corniced ceilings and large windows designed to take full advantage of the spectacular views. Belton Lodge is approached via a sweeping driveway (the first part of which serves just two other properties) with plenty of parking and turning space in front of twin garages. The extremely versatile accommodation will appeal to those requiring lots of space and in particular to anyone seeking the potential to create self-contained living space within their main dwelling. There are delightful gardens from which the beautiful sea and coastal views can be fully enjoyed. The house benefits from gas central heating, and there is a monitored burglar and fire alarm system. The immediate vicinity is amongst the most sought after residential locations in the area. It is well served by excellent local amenities in nearby Wellswood village while the town centre and harbourside with their wide range of shopping and leisure facilities are only about a mile away. There are numerous spectacular coastal walks virtually from the doorstep. Torquay also offers picturesque beaches, a golf course, and a railway station connecting with intercity services at Newton Abbot.
