About this property
Monkswell Park Garden Rooms
Monkswell Park Garden Rooms is self-contained accommodation that has been fully renovated with all modern conveniences and with stunning panoramic sea views over Lyme bay.
For additional detail see our web site, ask us for details.
Monkswell Park dates back to the 1920s, and is described in Pevsner's Buildings of England as 'The most distinguished property tucked into the slopes overlooking Hope Cove with wings angled to create a protected terrace with veranda facing the sea.' With fabulous sea views over Lyme Bay Monkswell Park benefits from an extremely rural and quiet, picturesque cliff top location, but is only one and a half miles from Torquay town centre, and approximately twenty miles from the historic city of Exeter. There are excellent local shops and restaurants nearby, and a sandy beach within half a mile of the property. There is also 'near-private' access to a pebble beach from the one and a half acre lawn garden. The nearest railway station is Torquay although Newton Abbot is only seven miles away. The nearest airport is Exeter

We loved our cottage. The garden for children to run around and the mesmorising ocean views.
