Can Anyone Help?

Wondering if anyone can help. A women has two cats she can't keep because of a serious illness she has. It's an illness which can and does cause her paralysis, hospital stays in the ICU, inability to talk when she has her flare ups and can cause sudden upper respiratory failure. She lives in Paignton. Her cats are absolutely lovely and both related and bonded. She has no family. She has rung cat shelters including Hector's House who all stated they couldn't take them due to lack of space. She is unable to keep them herself. It's not safe for them to be with her because if she has a sudden flare up she's unable to look after them and would need to go to hospital. She didn't have her illness when she got them a year ago. She's in a difficult predicament so I'm posting to see if any kind folk can take them both to give them the life she once could but no longer can. She is happy for me to send pictures of the cats and evidence of the illness.

Anyone live near the train station in Torquay and could do me a huge favour?

I need some very basic sleuthing from someone who can drop by Chelston Road, which is very close to the railway station.

We've booked a holiday let in Torquay for a few weeks' time. It was listed on airbnb but they did the classic "oh pay us directly, we basically just use it as an advertising platform". We were pushed for a place that suited all of our large family needs and on the balance of things, despite a bank transfer being a massive red flag, following "hi xxx" on a piece of paper photos sent from inside the property, we went ahead. These didn't appear to be AI.

On review the listing pictures DID contain no small amount of AI, which I think are for embellishment, but some suspicions remain.

It's called Chelston House. On Google maps it has a single 5 star review, the contents of which come across as fishy. Comparing street view with the listing photos, the front elevation at least looks to have been heavily renovated - the street view is from 2022 and appears quite old still - with a name of "Redcliffe" outside. However the listing shows a photo of it done up, but the house name sign looks clearly AI.

The actual gmaps location for Chelston House shows as the property next door, which is definitely not the one from the listing. So it's all a bit sus.

If anyone can walk past Chelston road and take a photo of the exterior of both the one labelled Chelston House on gmaps and also the larger building one to the Southeast (yellowy exterior), I will send you a massive internet cookie of thanks.

Stokeinteignhead: Can anyone help me identify the building in the photo?

This photo, which was in my grandma’s collection, shows my grandfather’s mother outside where the family lived in Stokeinteignhead. (Date: c1892-1896)
Features:
There’s one chimney in a central position (there are no gable end chimneys)
The land behind is raised and looks like a small hill.
Is anyone familiar with the area able to help me identify the building as it is today?
