Wolborough occupies the most superb elevated position along the historical coast of Brixham in the English Riviera. The spectacular far reaching views from the house look north
across Torbay and Lyme Bay - both hypnotic with their plethora of activities
from trawlers to dolphins during the day, to a spectacular light show at
night.
The historical and picturesque fishing village of Brixham offers the Breakwater
beach and public slipway as well as a range of quaint local shops, tearooms,
pubs and restaurants. The surrounding area also offers a huge range of activities
from the most relaxing like sailing, steam trains, zoos and walking to the
most extreme of holidays like skiing, power boating and sea cliff climbing.
Wolborough house was built in 1910 by Charles Hellier, a wealthy fishing fleet owner who paid £48 thousand guineas at the time for building this wonderful period mansion. He employed only the finest craftsmen and used only the finest materials in this project which is still apparent today. The house has been lovingly and painstakingly maintained to a very high standard over the years thus retaining Wolborough’s unique character and charm.
Wolborough house combines all modern conveniences with original architectural features such as high ceilings, decorative plasterwork, and an oak paneled ornamental staircase with a magnificent stained glass window. The quality of the facilities at Wolborough are outstanding. This large but warm 8 bedroomed property has been painstakingly equipped with everything you could imagine to an extremely high standard.
