A smartly refurbished top floor apartment enjoying outstanding panoramic views across Torquay and out to sea. This two double bedroom home is beautifully presented throughout, offers a share of the freehold, private garage parking and a southerly facing balcony, and is set within well-kept communal grounds with residents’ swimming pool. Offered for sale with no onward chain
The apartment is approached via a secure communal entrance with entry system, with stairs and lift rising to all floors. On reaching the top floor, the private front door opens into a generous entrance hall which instantly sets the tone of space and order.
The hall offers excellent built-in storage; a bank of cupboards to one side works well as cloaks or office storage, with an alcove opposite that lends itself to a compact desk or console. Two further cupboards house the newly fitted combi boiler and an airing/storage space with plumbing for a washing machine, keeping appliances neatly out of sight.
The refitted kitchen/breakfast room has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of the outlook. A contemporary range of matching wall and base units is complemented by an inset Franke sink and drainer with boiling-water tap, integrated neff “hide-and-slide” electric oven, induction hob with cooker hood, integrated dishwasher and space for an upright fridge freezer. A breakfast bar is perfectly positioned to sit and enjoy morning coffee while taking in the coastal views and sunsets. The room benefits from both low-level and high-level lighting to suit the time of day and mood.
At the far end of the hall, the living room is set slightly apart from the rest of the block and is flooded with natural light. A wall of windows to the southerly side, together with a double glazed door, opens out to the balcony and frames the far-reaching views. An electric fire creates a focal point with built-in shelving to either side, along with a TV point and radiator. The balcony itself is bathed in sun, enclosed by glass panels and chrome balustrades, and provides a superb vantage point to sit and enjoy the outlook over Torquay and the coastline.
Both bedrooms are well-proportioned double rooms with large double glazed windows to the front aspect and each has fitted wardrobes with hanging and shelf space.
The modern bathroom is larger than is typical for the block and features a contemporary three-piece suite comprising panelled bath with mixer taps and shower attachment, separate double shower cubicle, wash hand basin, fully tiled walls and flooring and a radiator. A separate WC with modern low-level toilet and tiled floor completes the internal accommodation.
The development sits in established communal grounds with a wide driveway leading to residents’ and visitors’ parking, available on a non-allocated basis, alongside on-street parking with no current restrictions. The property also benefits from a private single garage within the communal car park.
Steps lead down to a beautifully maintained communal garden with lawns, mature trees, well-stocked flower beds and decorative planters creating a calm outdoor environment. A more secluded section, known as “The Glade”, offers additional seating and a good degree of privacy, with a pathway leading through to an adjoining road providing handy pedestrian access towards local amenities and the Harbour.
Residents also have the added benefit of a private outdoor swimming pool, typically available during the spring and summer months, giving the development a relaxed, almost holiday feel in the warmer seasons

Location
The apartment is set in a sought-after position within easy reach of both Wellswood and Torquay Harbourside. Wellswood offers a popular high street with a range of independent shops, cafés, eateries and everyday amenities, while the Harbourside and Marina provide waterside restaurants, bars and leisure facilities.Torquay forms part of Tor Bay – alongside Paignton and Brixham – a naturally sheltered bay renowned for its mild climate, clean bathing waters and attractive coastline. A series of beaches and coves curve around the bay, with the South West Coast Path providing excellent coastal walks. The area is also well served for golf and other outdoor pursuits.
Altogether, this refurbished top floor apartment combines a strong specification, impressive views, excellent residents’ facilities and a highly regarded location – an ideal low-maintenance home or lock-up-and-leave on the English Riviera
