See Image and Image; it's difficult to get a different view of the building. http://www.torbay.gov.uk/media/7592/watcombe-park-caa.pdf gives the following: "The stuccoed villa has been delisted - being somewhat disfigured by its extension and corridor link - despite this the original house retains some good original detail including its low-pitched slate roof; rendered stacks with recesses and platbands, canted corners; deep-bracketed eaves; and an imposing west-facing landing window one-and-a-half storeys in height with stained glass". The building housed a children and adolescent mental health hospital until 2017, when it closed after adverse reports. Other past occupalnts include a trade union convalescent home and the Raleigh-King film production company.
