    “The house was quirky!”

    Spaces for a large party to gather but also spaces to be apart and quiet. Well placed to walk down to the town (rather an uphill return!) But overall house a but shabby: cobwebs, curtains not fully on rails, one toilet not flushing properly, one toilet seat cracked, kitchen not well equipped (we had to buy kitchen and toilet cleaner, bin bags, washing up liquid and dishwasher tabs, as well as a frying pan big enough for our party)

Clarence Grey House is a grand Victorian villa nestled among Torquay's conservation streets in Devon.

Clarence Grey House is the ideal location for a family of eight's seaside break, boasting gorgeous sash windows and architectural ceiling roses throughout, whilst being within easy reach of Devon's activities and beautiful beaches.

With four parking spaces, you can arrive and unload quickly before appreciating the property's stunning entrance hall, where a baby grand piano gives the space a classical touch.

Progress to the sitting room, which features three plush sofas, an electric fire, and a TV with FreeSat, making it ideal for unwinding.

Continue to the kitchen, which contains wooden cabinetry and is amply equipped with everything you'll need for a self-catering stay, including an excellent AGA range cooker.

Enjoy a culinary feast prepared by the group's designated chef in the formal dining room; why not open a bottle of wine and make a toast to this marvellous break?

The shower room/utility can be found close by and is a convenient spot, thanks to both its walk-in shower and washing machine.

Climb the carpeted l-shaped staircase and you'll discover a well-equipped cloakroom and a bathroom, both ideal for preventing morning queues!

Progress across the first floor to find four wonderfully furnished bedrooms, two of which have king-size beds, one of which has twin beds with access to an en-suite shower room, and the last room comprising a super-king-size bedroom with zip/linked beds; all of the bedrooms have ample storage.

Take advantage of the property's charming garden, where you can tuck into an alfresco meal on the terrace while the children play on the swing.

Spend some time in Torquay, a seaside town with a plethora of eateries and well-stocked stores, as well as a superb array of attractions, like the Princess Theatre, The Real Crime Museum, and Torquay's Dinosaur World, all of which rest by the harbour.

Enjoy a day of sun and sand on Torquay Beach or Meadfoot Beach before visiting the interesting Kents Cavern Prehistoric Caves and the famed Torre Abbey; alternatively, stroll down the coast to Thatcher Point and take in the coastal scenery.
