Sans Souci

Great Hill Road | Great Hill | Torquay | TQ2 8JS

Standing on the outskirts of Torquay at Great Hill, Sans Souci commands EXCEPTIONAL OPEN VIEWS over rolling

patchwork Devon fields to the front, and across the surrounding area to the sea from the rear. The property has been

sympathetically extended and redesigned by our clients for their own occupation, presenting a simply beautiful home in one of

Torquay's favoured districts. The versatile accommodation affords the principal living space to the ground floor, with two

further bedrooms and bathroom upstairs. The outside does not disappoint boasting extensive parking with garage, and

landscaped gardens complete with natural rainbow stone terracing and a barbecue lodge.

Great Hill is enviably located on the fringe of Torquay making easy access both in and out of the town. Local shops at Barton

Hill Road as a matter of minutes away, with more comprehensive amenities found nearby at the Willows, home to a host of

national stores including M&S, Sainsbury's, Boots and Next.

Our Area

coastline, mild climate and recreational facilities reinforce why it has rightfully earned the renowned nickname of the English Riviera.

OWNERS

INSIGHT

"As soon as we walked into Sans Souci the views captured us. The

accommodation was not quite right for us, but we could see how we could

make it work with a little imagination and quite a bit of building work!

Approaching four years later and having time to reflect over the global

pandemic, we decided to sell and make a major lifestyle change abroad. It

is certainly with a very heavy heart we've chosen to sell, and if we were

staying in the UK we would be enjoying San Souci for many more years

to come.

One thing we will miss is the beautiful dog walks on the doorstep. The old

reservoir is very close, leading on toward Brunel Woodland, Watcombe

Woods and sheltered cove where the South West Coast Path can be

joined. We will also miss watching the sunrise over the bay whilst having

breakfast and the fantastic sunsets over the moors in the evening."
