An exceptional seven bedroom, seven bathroom villa, superbly positioned within easy reach of the harbour, offering an exciting blend of elegant coastal living and outstanding commercial potential spanning 8,800 sq ft. Recently and comprehensively brought back to life with extensive refurbishment throughout, the property is presented in turnkey condition and ready for immediate occupation. Formerly operating as a small hotel, the generous and versatile accommodation naturally lends itself to continued hospitality use, offering clear scope for conversion into multiple apartments, creating the opportunity for significant income with relatively modest further investment. Plans are available by request for suggested eight apartments or fourteen HMO units. Equally well suited to multigenerational living, a substantial family home or a lifestyle business, this impressive villa represents a rare and highly flexible opportunity in a sought-after location. STEP INSIDE The villa is approached via an impressive entrance hall with striking marble flooring, immediately setting the tone for the quality and generous proportions found throughout the property. From here, a series of beautifully arranged reception spaces provide exceptional versatility for both family living and entertaining, all with large windows and high ceilings allowing light to flood each room. The ground floor is anchored by a substantial kitchen/breakfast room, thoughtfully designed as a social hub with extensive work surfaces, an impressive central island with imported Italian granite worktop and space for informal dining. Three double French doors open onto the front garden and integrated appliances include two dishwashers, a six burner induction hob, three warming drawers, two double width ovens and an instant hot water tap. Adjacent is a spacious utility room and a range of practical service areas including laundry, boiler and storage rooms, ensuring the property functions effortlessly on a day-to-day basis. A magnificent sitting room, formally a swimming pool, forms a striking focal point, featuring a curved Oak ceiling and an abundance of natural light creating a wonderfully atmospheric principal reception space. Complementing this are a formal dining room, a snug, a conservatory overlooking the front garden and a separate study, together offering a variety of environments to suit both relaxed living and more formal occasions. Additional office space, a lobby area and guest cloakrooms further enhance the flexibility of the ground floor layout. The ground floor also incorporates a generously proportioned bedroom with en-suite facilities, ideal for guests, multigenerational living or as part of a self-contained arrangement. The first floor continues the theme of space and adaptability, hosting a large studio apartment, complete with its own living area and en-suite facilities, alongside further substantial bedrooms. All bedrooms benefit from en-suite shower rooms and several from dressing rooms, creating private, well-appointed suites. The second floor provides additional accommodation, including further bedrooms, eaves storage and en-suite facilities, making this an ideal level for guest rooms, staff accommodation or extended family use. Overall, the accommodation has been arranged to offer remarkable flexibility. Formerly operated as a hotel, the property naturally lends itself to continued hospitality or income-generating use, while also presenting excellent scope for simple conversion into multiple apartments (plans available upon request) or reconfiguration as a substantial private residence. The layout equally supports multigenerational living, home working and lifestyle business opportunities. STEP OUTSIDE The property has a substantial private parking area, providing off-road parking for approximately fourteen vehicles, an invaluable feature for a home of this scale and for those considering hospitality or income-generating use. Beyond the parking area, the rear garden is laid predominantly to artificial lawn for low maintenance and offers a generous, level space ideal for relaxation, recreation and entertaining. A paved patio provides an excellent spot for outdoor dining and seating, enjoying a sunny aspect and a good degree of privacy. To the front of the villa is an additional garden area, combining artificial lawn and patio, creating a welcoming frontage and further outdoor space to enjoy throughout the day. Collectively, the grounds complement the scale of the property and enhance its versatility, offering both practical functionality and attractive outdoor living. SELLERS INSIGHT “We were searching for a character villa in Torquay that offered genuine scale, and Stuart Lodge immediately stood out. We needed considerable space, and the size and proportions here were perfect. While considerable work was required to bring the property up to our own standards, that never concerned us – the location and the sheer scale were exactly what we were looking for, and everything else we could improve. Since owning the property, we have comprehensively upgraded it throughout, including Cat 5 cabling, new plumbing, full redecoration and new fittings. Every floor came up and every ceiling came down, effectively rebuilding and reconfiguring every aspect of the building and bringing it back to life. We wanted generous rooms, flexibility of space and elevated views, all of which Stuart Lodge provides. It has been a wonderful large home for us and has suited our needs perfectly. Unfortunately, our circumstances have now changed, and with them, our requirements, which is why we have made the difficult decision to sell. As a former hotel, the property also offers tremendous business potential. We have already created two self-contained apartments and have had plans drawn up to reconfigure the building further, including options to create up to eight apartments or fourteen HMO units. If we were younger, we would absolutely undertake this project ourselves. The works required are relatively modest in the context of the building, and the potential income could be substantial, in the region of £70,000 per annum. The beauty is that you could enjoy living in a magnificent home and have substantial income from a variety of letting possibilities at the same time – with no contact with your tenants, Stuart Lodge is a truly special opportunity.” LOCATION
Stuart Lodge affords a pleasant, elevated position off Rousdown Road, with some pleasant Bay views from the front aspect of the property and first floor level in particular. This exceptional Villa offers easy access into Chelston's shops, Torquay town centre, the harbour and the Royal Torbay Yacht Club. There are wonderful, level walks along the coast with a variety of sandy beaches, attractive headlands and Torre Abbey Meadows surrounding the historic Abbey. Cockington Village & Country Park is also within a short drive or walk from the house. Torquay town centre is around a mile away and offers an excellent variety of established shops, amenities and restaurants. Torquay Railway station is also a very short walk from the property.

Une villa exceptionnelle de sept chambres et sept salles de bains, superbement située à proximité du port, offrant un mélange passionnant de vie côtière élégante et d’un potentiel commercial exceptionnel s’étendant sur 8 800 pieds carrés. Récemment et entièrement remise en vie avec une rénovation approfondie, la propriété est présentée en état clé en main et prête à être occupée immédiatement. Autrefois fonctionnant comme un petit hôtel, cet hébergement généreux et polyvalent se prête naturellement à une utilisation continue de l’hôtellerie, offrant une possibilité claire de conversion en plusieurs appartements, créant ainsi une opportunité de revenus significatifs avec des investissements supplémentaires relativement modestes. Des plans sont disponibles sur demande pour huit appartements suggérés ou quatorze unités HMO. Tout aussi bien adaptée à la vie multigénérationnelle, à une maison familiale imposante ou à une entreprise lifestyle, cette villa impressionnante représente une opportunité rare et très flexible dans un emplacement très prisé. ENTREZ La villa est accessible par un impressionnant hall d’entrée avec un sol en marbre saisissant, donnant immédiatement le ton à la qualité et aux proportions généreuses présentes dans toute la propriété. À partir de là, une série d’espaces de réception magnifiquement agencés offrent une polyvalence exceptionnelle pour la vie familiale et les réceptions, tous avec de grandes fenêtres et de hauts plafonds laissant la lumière inonder chaque pièce. Le rez-de-chaussée est ancré par une grande cuisine/salle petit-déjeuner, soigneusement conçue comme un centre social avec de vastes surfaces de travail, une impressionnante île centrale avec un plan de travail en granit italien importé et un espace pour la restauration informelle. Trois portes doubles françaises s’ouvrent sur le jardin avant et les appareils intégrés comprennent deux lave-vaisselle, une plaque à induction à six brûleurs, trois tiroirs chauffants, deux fours double largeur et un robinet d’eau chaude instantanée. Adjacente se trouve une vaste salle de service et une gamme d’espaces de service pratiques, incluant la buanderie, les chaudières et les salles de stockage, garantissant un fonctionnement fluide de la propriété au quotidien. Un magnifique salon, autrefois une piscine, forme un point focal frappant, avec un plafond en chêne courbé et une abondance de lumière naturelle créant un espace principal de réception merveilleusement atmosphérique. À cela s’ajoutent une salle à manger formelle, un douillet, une serre donnant sur le jardin avant et un bureau séparé, offrant ensemble une variété d’environnements adaptés à la fois à une vie détendue et à des occasions plus formelles. Des espaces de bureaux supplémentaires, un hall d’entrée et des vestiaires renforcent encore la flexibilité de la disposition du rez-de-chaussée. Le rez-de-chaussée comprend également une chambre aux proportions généreuses avec salle de bain attenante, idéale pour les invités, la vie multigénérationnelle ou dans le cadre d’un arrangement autonome. Le rez-de-chaussée poursuit le thème de l’espace et de l’adaptabilité, accueillant un grand studio, avec son propre espace de vie et des installations attenantes, ainsi que d’autres chambres de grande qualité. Toutes les chambres bénéficient de salles de douches attenantes et plusieurs de cabines d’essayage, créant ainsi des suites privées et bien équipées. Le deuxième étage offre des logements supplémentaires, incluant des chambres supplémentaires, des rangements sur les avant-toits et des installations avec salle de bain attenante, ce qui en fait un niveau idéal pour les chambres d’invités, le logement du personnel ou l’usage de la famille élargie. Dans l’ensemble, l’hébergement a été aménagé pour offrir une flexibilité remarquable. Autrefois exploitée comme hôtel, la propriété se prête naturellement à une utilisation continue d’hôtellerie ou génératrice de revenus, tout en offrant une excellente possibilité de conversion simple en plusieurs appartements (plans disponibles sur demande) ou de la reconfiguration en résidence privée importante. La disposition soutient également la vie multigénérationnelle, le télétravail et les opportunités d’affaires liées au mode de vie. SORTEZ À L’EXTÉRIEUR La propriété dispose d’un important parking privé, offrant un parking tout-terrain pour environ quatorze véhicules, une caractéristique inestimable pour une maison de cette taille et pour ceux qui envisagent une utilisation hôtelière ou génératrice de revenus. Au-delà du parking, le jardin arrière est principalement aménagé en pelouse artificielle pour un entretien limité et offre un espace généreux et plat, idéal pour la détente, les loisirs et les réceptions. Une terrasse pavée offre un excellent endroit pour manger et s’asseoir en plein air, profitant d’un aspect ensoleillé et d’un bon degré d’intimité. À l’avant de la villa se trouve un jardin supplémentaire, combinant pelouse artificielle et terrasse, créant une façade accueillante et un espace extérieur supplémentaire pour profiter tout au long de la journée. Ensemble, les terrains complètent l’ampleur de la propriété et améliorent sa polyvalence, offrant à la fois une fonctionnalité pratique et un espace de vie extérieur attrayant. AVIS DU VENDEUR : « Nous cherchions une villa de caractère à Torquay qui offre une véritable ampleur, et Stuart Lodge s’est immédiatement démarqué. Nous avions besoin d’un espace considérable, et la taille ainsi que les proportions étaient parfaites. Bien qu’un travail considérable ait été nécessaire pour amener la propriété à nos propres standards, cela ne nous a jamais préoccupés – l’emplacement et l’ampleur étaient exactement ce que nous recherchions, et tout le reste était possible. Depuis que nous possédons la propriété, nous l’avons entièrement modernisée, incluant des câblages Cat 5, une nouvelle plomberie, une redécoration complète et de nouveaux raccords. Chaque étage a été levé et chaque plafond est tombé, reconstruisant et reconfigurant chaque aspect du bâtiment et lui redonnant vie. Nous voulions des chambres généreuses, une grande flexibilité d’espace et des vues en hauteur, autant d’éléments que Stuart Lodge offre. C’est une grande maison merveilleuse pour nous qui a parfaitement répondu à nos besoins. Malheureusement, nos circonstances ont désormais changé, et avec elles, nos exigences, ce qui explique pourquoi nous avons pris la difficile décision de vendre. En tant qu’ancien hôtel, la propriété offre également un potentiel commercial considérable. Nous avons déjà créé deux appartements autonomes et des plans pour reconfigurer davantage le bâtiment, incluant des options pour créer jusqu’à huit appartements ou quatorze unités HMO. Si nous étions plus jeunes, nous entreprendrions absolument ce projet nous-mêmes. Les travaux nécessaires sont relativement modestes dans le contexte du bâtiment, et les revenus potentiels pourraient être substantiels, de l’ordre de 70 000 £ par an. La beauté réside dans le fait que vous pourriez profiter de la vie dans une maison magnifique tout en bénéficiant d’un revenu substantiel grâce à diverses possibilités de location – sans aucun contact avec vos locataires, Stuart Lodge est une opportunité vraiment spéciale. » EMPLACEMENT

Una villa eccezionale con sette camere da letto e sette bagni, posizionata in modo superbo a distanza del porto, offrendo un entusiasmante mix di elegante vita costiera e un eccezionale potenziale commerciale che si estende su 8.800 piedi quadrati. Recentemente e completamente riportata in vita con ampi lavori di ristrutturazione, la proprietà è presentata in condizioni chiavi in mano e pronta per l'immediata occupazione. In precedenza operato come piccolo hotel, l'alloggio generoso e versatile si presta naturalmente a un uso continuo nell'ospitalità, offrendo chiara possibilità di conversione in più appartamenti, creando l'opportunità di un reddito significativo con investimenti relativamente modesti ulteriori. Sono disponibili su richiesta progetti per otto appartamenti suggeriti o quattordici unità HMO. Ugualmente adatta alla vita multigenerazionale, a una casa familiare imponente o a un'attività di lifestyle, questa imponente villa rappresenta un'opportunità rara e altamente flessibile in una posizione ambita. ENTRA La villa si raggiunge tramite un imponente atrio d'ingresso con un apparente pavimento in marmo, che dà immediatamente il tono alla qualità e alle generose proporzioni presenti in tutta la proprietà. Da qui, una serie di spazi per ricevimenti splendidamente disposti offre una versatilità eccezionale sia per la vita familiare che per gli intrattenimenti, tutti con grandi finestre e soffitti alti che permettono alla luce di inondare ogni stanza. Il piano terra è ancorato da una sostanziosa cucina/sala colazione, progettata con cura come un centro sociale con ampie superfici di lavoro, un'imponente isola centrale con piano di lavoro in granito italiano importato e spazi per la cena informale. Tre porte doppie francesi si aprono sul giardino anteriore e gli elettrodomestici integrati includono due lavastoviglie, un piano cottura a induzione a sei fuochi, tre cassetti riscaldatori, due forni a doppia larghezza e un rubinetto istantaneo. Adiacente si trova una spaziosa sala servizi e una serie di aree di servizio pratiche, tra cui lavanderia, caldaie e depositi, garantendo al complesso il funzionamento quotidiano della proprietà. Un magnifico salotto, precedentemente una piscina, costituisce un punto focale impressionante, caratterizzato da un soffitto curvo in quercia e un'abbondanza di luce naturale che crea uno spazio principale di ricevimento meravigliosamente atmosferico. A complementare ci sono una sala da pranzo formale, un accogliente, una serra con vista sul giardino anteriore e uno studio separato, che offrono insieme una varietà di ambienti adatti sia a una vita rilassata che a occasioni più formali. Ulteriori spazi per uffici, un'area atrio e spogliatoi per gli ospiti migliorano ulteriormente la flessibilità della disposizione al piano terra. Il piano terra comprende anche una camera da letto generosamente proporzionata con servizi privati, ideale per ospiti, convivenza multigenerazionale o come parte di una struttura autonoma. Il primo piano continua il tema dello spazio e dell'adattabilità, ospitando un grande monolocale, completo di area giorno e bagno privato, oltre a camere da letto più sostanziose. Tutte le camere da letto beneficiano di bagni con bagno privato e diverse di camerini, creando suite private e ben arredate. Il secondo piano offre ulteriori alloggi, tra cui camere da letto aggiuntive, depositi sulle grondaie e servizi privati, rendendo questo livello ideale per camere per ospiti, alloggi per il personale o per l'uso della famiglia allargata. Nel complesso, l'alloggio è stato organizzato per offrire una flessibilità notevole. In precedenza gestita come hotel, la proprietà si presta naturalmente a un uso continuo per l'ospitalità o per generare reddito, offrendo anche un'eccellente possibilità per una semplice conversione in più appartamenti (progetti disponibili su richiesta) o per una riorganizzazione in una residenza privata di sostanzia. La struttura supporta ugualmente opportunità di vita multigenerazionale, lavoro da casa e lifestyle. ESCE UN PASSO ALL'ESTERNO La proprietà dispone di un ampio parcheggio privato, che offre parcheggi fuoristrada per circa quattordici veicoli, una caratteristica preziosa per una casa di questa portata e per chi sta considerando l'ospitalità o un uso generativo di reddito. Oltre l'area parcheggio, il giardino posteriore è prevalentemente composto da prato artificiale per una manutenzione bassa e offre uno spazio generoso e pianeggiante, ideale per il relax, il tempo libero e l'intrattenimento. Un patio lastricato offre un ottimo punto per mangiare all'aperto e per sedersi, godendo di un aspetto soleggiato e di un buon grado di privacy. Davanti alla villa si trova un'ulteriore area giardino, che combina prato artificiale e patio, creando una facciata accogliente e ulteriori spazi all'aperto da godersi durante la giornata. Nel complesso, i terreni completano la dimensione della proprietà e ne migliorano la versatilità, offrendo sia funzionalità pratica che un ambiente abitativo all'aperto attraente. OPINIONI DEI VENDITORI "Stavamo cercando una villa con caratteristi a Torquay che offrisse una vera scala, e Stuart Lodge si è subito distinta. Avevamo bisogno di uno spazio considerevole, e le dimensioni e le proporzioni qui erano perfette. Anche se è stato necessario un notevole lavoro per portare la proprietà ai nostri standard, questo non ci ha mai preoccupato – la posizione e la scala erano esattamente ciò che cercavamo, e tutto il resto potevamo migliorare. Da quando possediamo la proprietà, l'abbiamo completamente migliorata, includendo cablaggi Cat 5, nuovi impianti idraulici, ristrutturazioni complete e nuovi accessori. Ogni piano si alzò e ogni soffitto cadde, ricostruendo e riconfigurando ogni aspetto dell'edificio e riportandolo in vita. Volevamo camere generose, flessibilità di spazio e viste elevate, tutto ciò che Stuart Lodge offre al suo posto. È stata una splendida grande casa per noi e ha soddisfatto perfettamente le nostre esigenze. Purtroppo, le nostre circostanze sono cambiate, e con esse anche le nostre esigenze, motivo per cui abbiamo preso la difficile decisione di vendere. Essendo un ex hotel, la proprietà offre anche un enorme potenziale commerciale. Abbiamo già creato due appartamenti autonomi e abbiamo elaborato piani per riconfigurare ulteriormente l'edificio, incluse opzioni per creare fino a otto appartamenti o quattordici unità HMO. Se fossimo più giovani, ci occuperemmo sicuramente di questo progetto. I lavori necessari sono relativamente modesti nel contesto dell'edificio, e il potenziale reddito potrebbe essere sostanzioso, nell'ordine delle £70.000 all'anno. La bellezza è che potresti goderti la vita in una casa magnifica e avere un reddito consistente da diverse possibilità di affitto allo stesso tempo – senza contatti con gli inquilini, Stuart Lodge è un'opportunità davvero speciale." POSIZIONE
Stuart Lodge offre una piacevole posizione sopraelevata vicino a Rousdown Road, con alcune piacevoli viste sulla baia dal lato frontale della proprietà e in particolare dal primo piano. Questa eccezionale Villa offre un facile accesso ai negozi di Chelston, al centro di Torquay, al porto e al Royal Torbay Yacht Club. Ci sono splendide passeggiate pianeggianti lungo la costa con una varietà di spiagge sabbiose, promontori attraenti e prati dell'Abbazia di Torre che circondano la storica Abbazia. Anche il Cockington Village & Country Park si trova a breve distanza in auto o a piedi dalla casa. Il centro di Torquay dista circa un miglio e offre un'eccellente varietà di negozi, servizi e ristoranti già consolidati. La stazione ferroviaria di Torquay dista anch'essa a breve distanza a piedi dalla proprietà. I treni collegano la linea principale di Penzance a Paddington a Newton Abbot, con il tempo di treno per Londra che impiega circa 2 ore e 45 minuti da lì. Per voli interni o esterni, l'aeroporto di Exeter dista 28 miglia, impiegando circa 45 minuti tramite la South Devon Expressway fino a Exeter. INFORMAZIONI UTILI
