Torquil House is a substantial and attractive seven-bedroom Edwardian property, situated only 100 metres from the Camel Estuary and Daymer Bay beach with its tranquil waters and soft, golden sands. Steeped in history and exuding old-world charm, this beautifully appointed coastal property seamlessly blends traditional features with modern luxuries. The poet, John Betjeman, fondly visited Torquil during his childhood and affectionately refers to Torquil in his poetry.

Approached via a shared drive with Little Torquil behind, Torquil House is surrounded by a peaceful, private garden, peppered with mature trees, shrubs and colourful blooms. A rare gem, it offers views of Brea Hill and glimpses of the estuary from two of the bedrooms. Graceful interiors include a light filled entrance hall, a large open-plan kitchen/dining room, a generous sitting room with an open fireplace, study, large bay window and direct garden access, along with a TV snug with a cosy log burner. Additional generous ground floor room with potential as a study / 7th bedroom. Six bedrooms are set on the first floor along with six bathrooms (3 with en-suites).
