Located just moments from the picturesque seafront of Torquay, this elegant and spacious townhouse offers an exceptional lifestyle opportunity in one of South Devon’s most desirable coastal settings. Set within the exclusive Corbyn Lodge development, this home enjoys a prime position just yards from the beach, with sweeping sea views stretching across the bay towards Brixham and Berry Head. The property is perfectly situated for those who appreciate a blend of seaside tranquillity and easy access to everyday conveniences, leisure activities, and excellent transport links.
A level walk from the front door leads you to Torquay’s vibrant waterfront with its selection of stylish restaurants, cafes, and shops. For those who enjoy an active lifestyle, the South West Coast Path is practically on your doorstep, offering miles of scenic walking and cycling routes. Nearby, the formal gardens and woodland trails of Cockington Country Park provide a peaceful retreat, while the surrounding area offers a variety of leisure facilities including tennis courts, bowls clubs, water sports, an indoor swimming pool, and a fully equipped gymnasium. Torquay train station is just a short stroll away, providing regular services to Exeter, Bristol, and London Paddington, making this property ideal for commuters or those looking for a well-connected second home by the sea.
Spread over two spacious floors, the accommodation is thoughtfully designed to take full advantage of the property’s stunning position and natural light. On the ground floor, the welcoming hallway leads to three generously sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom features a dual aspect with sea views and double doors opening directly onto the private garden, as well as a modern en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is impressively large, complete with a floor-to-ceiling window in a hardwood frame, extensive built-in storage including walk-in space, and its own stylish en-suite. The third bedroom, located to the rear, offers versatility as a guest room, home office or additional sleeping space, with a window overlooking the garden.
The first floor is the heart of the home and is truly designed for both relaxation and entertaining. The expansive living room is flooded with natural light and boasts a striking triple aspect, high ceilings, and uninterrupted views across the sea to Berry Head and Brixham. A pair of double doors open out onto a private composite balcony, a peaceful space to sit and enjoy the sea breeze or watch the sun set. The open-plan kitchen and dining area spans over 20 feet and has been finished to a high standard with granite worktops, gloss cabinetry, and a range of integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer, and Neff ovens with an induction hob. A sleek breakfast bar provides a casual dining option while the adjacent dining space enjoys far-reaching views across the town towards Torquay Marina and Princess Gardens. A stylish family bathroom with a panelled bath, vanity storage, and tasteful tiling completes the upstairs accommodation.
Outside, 5 Corbyn Lodge enjoys the rare advantage of its own private garden, thoughtfully landscaped with a paved terrace ideal for outdoor dining, two level lawned areas bordered by established planting, and raised natural stone flowerbeds filled with a variety of shrubs, succulents, and bamboo. The garden has a sunny aspect and offers a sense of seclusion while remaining just a short distance from the coastline. A gravelled path winds around to the rear of the property, providing additional space for potted plants and garden storage. The development also features beautifully maintained communal gardens and a sun terrace for residents to enjoy, all securely accessed via gated entry. The property includes two allocated parking spaces within the residents' area.
This wonderful home is offered on a leasehold basis with a 999-year lease from 2007 and a share of the freehold, ensuring long-term security and a strong sense of community within this exclusive development. Pets are permitted with permission, although holiday letting is not allowed, making this an ideal choice for owner-occupiers or those seeking a peaceful coastal retreat. The current annual maintenance fee is £2,504.66, and the property falls under Council Tax Band F.
