2 bed flat for sale

Compton House, Palermo Road TQ1

Apartment 6 Compton House is a well-proportioned two-bedroom apartment occupying the entrance level of this attractive period building on Palermo Road. The setting is a particular strength, with the property positioned immediately beside Cary Park and enjoying an attractive outlook towards the park from its principal reception room.

Access is through a secure communal entrance, with the apartment itself benefiting from convenient level access. Once inside, a long reception hallway connects the accommodation and gives the apartment a pleasing sense of space and separation between the living and sleeping areas.

The principal reception room is an impressive lounge and dining room with excellent proportions and plenty of flexibility for both seating and dining furniture. A characterful box bay with large windows draws in good natural light and provides an attractive outlook towards the mature greenery of Cary Park. The room has also recently been fitted with new carpeting, giving it a fresh and neutral finish ready for the next owner.

A broad arched opening connects the living space with the modern fitted kitchen, creating a degree of openness between the two areas whilst retaining a clearly defined kitchen. The kitchen is finished with a good range of contemporary wall and base units, contrasting work surfaces and an integrated oven, hob and extractor.

There are two genuine double bedrooms, both accessed independently from the hallway. Their proportions make the accommodation equally suitable for permanent occupation, guests or those requiring a dedicated home office alongside a main bedroom.

Completing the accommodation is a modern shower room fitted with an enclosed shower, WC and wash basin with useful vanity storage.

The apartment is presented in good order throughout with a light, neutral interior, allowing a purchaser to move straight in whilst retaining the opportunity to personalise the property over time. Importantly, the apartment is empty and offered for sale with no onward chain.

Compton House also benefits from an allocated parking space for one vehicle, communal grounds and a share of the freehold, adding further appeal in a location where dedicated parking is particularly valuable.

Location

Palermo Road occupies an excellent position between Babbacombe and St Marychurch, with Apartment 6 particularly well placed alongside Cary Park. The park is one of Torquay's established public green spaces and includes open recreational areas, a children's playground, bowling green and tennis courts. Its attractive mature surroundings form an important part of the Cary Park Conservation Area and provide an unusually green setting for such a conveniently positioned apartment.

Everyday amenities are readily accessible in nearby St Marychurch, which has an established shopping area with a broad mix of local and independent businesses. This makes the position particularly practical for purchasers who value having shops and day-to-day services within the surrounding neighbourhood rather than having to travel into Torquay town centre for every requirement.

Babbacombe is also close at hand, with Babbacombe Downs providing one of Torquay's best-known coastal settings. Positioned high above Babbacombe Bay and Lyme Bay, the Downs offer extensive coastal views together with lawns, walks and access towards the coastline. The historic Babbacombe Cliff Railway provides a connection between the Downs and Oddicombe Beach, further adding to the appeal of this part of Torquay.

The position therefore combines several qualities which are not always easy to find together: A green outlook, nearby coastal walks, convenient local amenities and the benefit of an allocated parking space. For purchasers looking for an apartment in Babbacombe or St Marychurch, the setting immediately beside Cary Park is one of the property's strongest selling points.

Garden

The apartment forms part of established communal grounds surrounding Compton House, with areas of lawn and mature planting complementing the period character of the building.

An allocated parking bay for one vehicle is positioned to the front of the development, providing the significant advantage of dedicated off-road parking.

The immediate surroundings are particularly attractive, with Cary Park directly alongside the property providing a green outlook and a pleasant open setting within this established residential part of Torquay.
