The lounge also has a beautiful chandelier and a large 3D TV with Sky package.
DEN
The den is a sumptuous room located on the lower ground with dark flooring – the den can be open to the rest of the lower ground or shut away by doors. There is a projector in this room.

GARDEN
Outside can be assessed on two levels either from the kitchen by two oversized folding doors to a sheltered south westerly facing garden (Number Nine gets the sun all day long). The garden is tiered into three zones. The lowest zone is at the same level as the kitchen and makes for great socializing space in the kitchen and garden combined in the summer with the doors open. With the doors shut it’s a lovely view looking out to the garden. This lowest zone overlooks the middle zone with the sunken hot tub area. Then on the top zone is a large seating area, plus table and chairs and a BBQ for Al Fresco dinning – in this zone you have elevated views of Torquay. This zone also joins to the pathway where you can go on the balcony across the back of the house and to the level above. You can access the garden from the grand lounge also onto this balcony. The garden is lit up beautifully and is a great extension of the house and creates a feeling of even more space.

TORQUAY
Torbay is made up of Torqay, Paignton and Brixham with Babbacombe Downs a 30 minute walk away. These can be accessed by car, boat, ferry, steam train or bus. Torbay has 22 miles or beautiful coast line :-)

About the host
Hosted by Leeann Dawkins
We love Torquay - AKA Torbaydos! We moved to the area for Number Nine as a renovation project. We both love the outdoors and living by the sea. Our favorite day out is walking, going on a boat or paddleboarding to all the lovely coves and beaches with a nice meal thrown in! We know the area well and can give great advice making the perfect holiday for you.
Why they chose this property
We bought this guest house to renovate as its is a beautiful building with lots of character and history. The house has appeared on Channel 4 the Hotel Inspector. We really wanted to make a large holiday home that friends and family can enjoy as we have a large family ourselves and have found it hard to get places to fit us all in.
What makes this property unique
A beautiful period home set over four floors, tucked in a peaceful location however close proximity to town/ harbor/ marina. The grand sweeping stair case and all the original coving makes you feel like you are Lord and Lady of the Manor!
