2 bed flat for sale

Preston, Paignton TQ3

This exceptional coastal apartment is situated within an exclusive waterfront development in one of Torbay's most sought-after seaside locations, perfectly positioned between Preston Sands and Paignton Beach. Arguably one of the finest apartments within the development, it enjoys a prime front-facing position with a generous private terrace and breathtaking panoramic views across the stunning waters of Tor Bay.

Ideally located, the apartment offers easy level access to the excellent amenities of both Paignton and Preston, while beautiful beaches and scenic green spaces are just moments from the doorstep. A pleasant walk along the promenade leads to Paignton Harbour, with the nearby coastal towns of Torquay and Brixham offering additional marina facilities, waterside dining, and leisure opportunities.

The Redcliffe hotel has had a recent change of ownership, we understand there are exciting plans to build upon the property's long established reputation, developed over more than four decades of private ownership, with a vision to create an even more luxurious experience within this historic waterfront setting.

Owners Insight

"There are very few properties in Torbay that are truly on the beach without a steep hill to climb, and that's one of the things we've loved most about living here. We can walk to three beautiful beaches and have direct access to the South West Coast Path. It's also the perfect spot to enjoy the air show, fireworks and every event held across the bay. The sense of community is wonderful every neighbour is friendly, welcoming and helpful, and we've made lifelong friends here.

The property also offers secure gated access with CCTV, covered parking for two cars, a car wash bay and visitor parking. With the ongoing renovation of the Redcliffe Hotel, we believe the area will become even more desirable.

This has been more than just a home to us it's been an incredible place to live, combining an unbeatable beachfront location with a warm, supportive community."
