The Approach

Entry to the development is gained from St. Luke's Road North, with both a secure pedestrian gate and automatic barrier-controlled vehicular access leading to the residents’ parking areas. From here, an automatic door opens into the communal entrance lobby, complete with an intercom entry system and attractively presented, well-kept hallways. A lift and staircase serve each level of the building, with this particular apartment situated on level 2, effectively on the first floor due to the natural gradient of the site. Once inside, the apartment opens to an inviting entrance hall, incorporating two built-in storage cupboards. One accommodates the consumer unit, utility meters and fitted shelving, providing ample storage, while the second houses the hot water cylinder. The hall is further equipped with a wall-mounted entry phone system and a night storage heater.

Living Room & Balcony

The living room is filled with natural light and features wide double-glazed doors that lead directly onto the balcony, enhancing the feeling of proximity to Torquay Yacht Marina. From here, you can enjoy spectacular views extending over the Warberries and across to Berry Head, from a position rarely matched locally. The balcony itself benefits from a roof canopy and clear glass balustrading to the front and side, affording a pleasant, semi-sheltered seating area without detracting from the remarkable, open aspect.

Kitchen

The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of matching wall and base units with roll-edge work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. A selection of integrated appliances is provided, including a fridge/freezer, an oven, a surface-mounted induction hob with extractor hood over, and a washing/dryer. There is also a stainless steel sink and drainer set beneath a double-glazed window enjoying a pleasant outlook towards the Warberries.

Bedrooms & En-Suite

The apartment offers two double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefitting from both an en-suite shower room and a double-glazed patio door providing direct access to the balcony. This room also features a four-door mirrored wardrobe spanning one wall, providing generous storage. The contemporary en-suite is fully tiled to the walls and floor and comprises a vanity unit with countertop wash basin and storage beneath, an illuminated mirrored cabinet above, low level WC and a large corner shower cubicle with electric shower, together with a wall-mounted heated towel rail. The second bedroom is also of good proportions and lends itself to a variety of uses, including as a dining room, home office and guest bedroom. It has a double-glazed window and enjoys attractive views over the surrounding landscape and towards the Warberries.

Cloakroom

Adjacent to bedroom two is a contemporary and well-presented cloakroom, fitted with a large vanity unit incorporating a wash basin with storage beneath and an illuminated mirrored cabinet above. The suite is completed by a low level WC. The room is fully tiled to both the walls and floor, creating a smart and easily maintained finish.

The Grounds

The property is set within attractively landscaped communal gardens, offering a tranquil environment and superb far-reaching views over Torbay for residents to appreciate. Allocated parking is provided, along with designated visitor spaces, enhancing the development's convenience.
