2 bed flat for sale

Lower Warberry Road, Torquay TQ1

Set within one of Torquay’s most sought-after coastal settings, this beautifully refurbished, entry-level apartment delivers stylish single-level living with a genuine “turn-key” finish. The seller purchased the apartment in 2017 and has since gutted and comprehensively modernised it, creating a bright, exceptionally warm home with a high EPC rating and a notably sunny aspect – the very things that first drew her to it.

The apartment is approached via a well-kept communal entrance and opens into a spacious reception hall with a telephone entry system and a superb run of built-in storage cupboards The heart of the home is the generous living/dining room where a large bay window and additional side window pull in plenty of natural light. A glazed door opens onto the enclosed private balcony, which has been upgraded and now features a sleek glass balustrade – an ideal spot for a morning coffee, a book, or an evening drink, with pleasant coastal views. The flooring is a real delight with an engineered oak herringbone which coats the apartment in luxury.

The kitchen has been finished to a high standard with quartz worktops, excellent storage and a premium appliance package including Neff induction hob and extractor, Neff Hide & Slide oven, Neff combi microwave, an integrated fridge/freezer, plus an InSinkErator Practical touches include smartly planned storage, new sockets throughout, and integrated speakers (also in the bathroom) adding a polished, modern feel.

Both bedrooms are proper doubles The principal bedroom enjoys a rear aspect with far-reaching views and full-height fitted wardrobes, while the second bedroom provides additional built-in storage and side window sea glimpses. The shower room is equally impressive – a luxury suite with marble tiles, a generous walk-in shower, vanity unit with backlit mirror, WC and heated towel rail.

Outside, residents enjoy attractive landscaped communal gardens and a private outdoor swimming pool (typically open spring through to October, subject to seasonal scheduling). The apartment also benefits from a garage, with on-site parking available on a first come, first served basis

Location

Positioned in a highly regarded Torquay residential setting, the apartment sits within easy reach of Wellswood village, known for its day-to-day shops, cafés, deli/food options and community feel. Torquay Harbourside and seafront are also within comfortable walking distance, offering waterside restaurants, marina life and coastal walks.

For transport, Torquay offers rail links via Torquay Station (and nearby Torre Station) with routes connecting through Newton Abbot and on to Exeter and beyond. Road access out of the bay is straightforward via the A380, linking to Newton Abbot, the A38/M5 corridor, and wider Devon. Local bus routes serve Wellswood, the Harbourside and surrounding areas, making the location convenient whether you’re commuting, downsizing, or using the property as a lock-up-and-leave base.

Garden

The development is set within beautifully maintained communal grounds, with a sweeping driveway approach leading to residents’ and visitors’ parking (available on a first come, first served basis), plus the added benefit of the apartment’s private garage. The gardens are thoughtfully landscaped with level lawned areas, mature trees and well-stocked borders, creating a calm, green outlook and plenty of space to sit out and enjoy the setting. A more secluded seating area known as “The Glade” provides an additional quiet spot to unwind, and there’s also convenient pedestrian access out towards the surrounding roads, making it easy to stroll to local amenities and the Harbourside.

A standout feature is the private outdoor swimming pool, available exclusively to residents and typically open from spring through to around October, offering a real lifestyle boost during the warmer months. The apartment itself also enjoys an upgraded private balcony with a sleek glass balustrade-ideal for a morning coffee, some sun, or evening relaxation with a coastal feel.
