TORQUIL HOUSE

This substantial and magical seven-bedroom stone and slate hung Edwardian property, is situated just steps from the Camel Estuary and Daymer Bay beach with its tranquil waters and soft, golden sands. Steeped in history and exuding comfortable old-world charm, this quintessential coastal property seamlessly blends traditional features with modern luxuries. The poet, John Betjeman, fondly visited Torquil House during his childhood and affectionately refers to Torquil in his poetry.

Set in a sought-after location, this rare gem enjoys views of Brea Hill with glimpses of the sparkling estuary waters from two of the bedrooms. Graceful interiors with high ceilings, solid wood floors and panelled sash windows include a light filled entrance hall, a large open-plan kitchen/breakfast room, a generous drawing room with an open fireplace and garden access, along with a TV snug with double doors into a third reception room with potential as a study / 7th bedroom. Six bedrooms are set on the first floor along with six bathrooms (3 with en-suites). 

Currently a holiday let with Latitude50, Torquil House would make a wonderful family home or holiday retreat, being only moments from the beach, St Enodoc Golf Course and the Southwest Coast Path.
