Rock Close, Broadsands, Paignton, TQ4

Number 3 Rock Close is a fine example of the work of Swiss born American architect, William Lescaze in the International Modern style. Lescaze is also known for the design of High Cross House at Dartington Hall.  It was originally designed to be part of a larger development of similar houses, although ultimately only 7 were built. From its position the house enjoys sweeping open and sea views over Tor Bay, Churston Common and the Brunel's landmark Hookhills viaduct.  The house offers extensive accommodation principally over two floors but capped by a top floor roof terrace where the views are at their best.  The ground floor offers a sun loggia, lounge, dining room, kitchen with utility off and shower/cloakroom.  The four bedrooms plus the house bathroom are on the first floor with stairs giving access to the roof terrace above.  The house is set in a generous size gently sloping garden with a long driveway leading to the garage.  There is gas fired central heating.  The sandy beach at Broadsands with its beach cafes and coastal path is at the bottom of the hill.  Just around the corner are the local shops and buses, with the centres of the town of Paignton and the port of Brixham both being just over two miles away.  The property is offered for sale with no onward chain.
