About this property
Laguna Mansion is a hidden gem nestled behind high walls close to the heart of Torquay. This Victorian Mansion, surrounded by more than three acres of meticulously maintained gardens, is a true testament to timeless elegance and modern luxury. As the electric gates swing open, revealing the grand porticoed entrance, you'll find yourself transported into a world reminiscent of the Downton Abbey dream.
Laguna Mansion boasts five bedrooms and five bathrooms, accommodating up to ten people—making it the perfect retreat for family get-togethers and seaside breaks. This discreet lady exudes sophistication and charm, offering an escape from the outside world behind its high walls and electric gate.
Step into the hallway, and you will be enveloped in a sense of calmness and tranquillity, a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle beyond the walls. The two main reception rooms, overlooking the gardens, provide a smart gathering space. The drawing room exudes elegance, while the smaller room offers a pool table for those with a competitive streak.
Turn right from the hallway to discover the expansive kitchen—a true culinary haven. With bespoke hand-painted units, top-of-the-line appliances, and a spacious dining table, it's a place where guests can come together to enjoy meals. The property even features a second kitchen, the Butler's Kitchen, equipped with additional amenities and surprises waiting to be discovered.
For those seeking relaxation, there is a TV room with plush chairs and sofas, and a gym to stay active during your stay.
Laguna Mansion's commitment to culinary excellence extends to its fully equipped kitchen, featuring Miele and Gaggenu appliances, providing an exceptional cooking experience. The Butler's Kitchen adds an extra layer of convenience, complete with a washing machine and tumble dryer.
The journey to bed is as impressive as the rest of the mansion. Ascend the sweeping staircase to the upper hallway, adorned with a magnificent glass domed ceiling. The luxury bedrooms await, each offering a unique experience. The master bedroom overlooks the gardens and features a sumptuous super king bed and ensuite with bath and shower. The additional bedrooms boast equally lavish amenities, ensuring a restful night's sleep.
The outside space at Laguna Mansion is equally enchanting. The expansive garden of more than three acres is a rarity in Torquay, providing a peaceful haven. Children can explore the garden safely within the walled enclosure, whilst the adults might prefer to unwind in the inviting waters of the cedar wood hot tub or cozy up by the flickering flames of the fire pit. It is the perfect place for guests to relax and stay warm during their stay. The highlight however, is the outside kitchen on the front lawn, offering a magnificent setting for outdoor gatherings, complete with cooking appliances and shaded seating.
Laguna Mansion is not just a holiday home; it is an experience of luxury, tranquillity, and Victorian charm, all within reach of Torquay's vibrant centre.
Laguna Mansion, located in the heart of Torquay on the English Riviera, stands as an oasis of tranquillity amidst the bustling coastal charm.

Torquay itself, a picturesque seaside town, offers a myriad of attractions, from its sandy beaches and lively promenade to quaint shops and vibrant restaurants.
The mansion's strategic location ensures easy access to Torquay's vibrant centre, where guests can explore the marina, indulge in local cuisine, or simply stroll along the palm-lined avenues. The English Riviera's allure extends beyond Torquay, with neighbouring towns such as Paignton and Brixham inviting exploration. Whether revelling in the mansion's expansive garden, strolling to nearby attractions, or venturing further along the scenic coastline, Laguna Mansion provides a unique blend of seclusion and accessibility, making it an ideal holiday destination for those seeking both relaxation and the vibrant ambiance of coastal life.

Laguna Mansion is a beautiful house, that was beautifully decorated. It is warm, cozy and yet extremely spacious and is equipped with everything you could wish for. Well positioned, not far from the beach and walking distance from the town centre. Hot tub is great and the outside kitchen looked fabulous, although we couldn’t use it because of the weather. We’ll have to come back another time to try it out!

The accommodation is fabulous, comfortable and spacious with exquisite decor. The grounds are well manicured and the equipment perfectly maintained. Has all the comforts you can dream of and not far from the harbour and several beaches. Adam provided great customer service, promptly responding to all needs and acting in a professional manner throughout our stay. Would highly recommend holidaying at Laguna Mansion in Turquay!
