Meadfoot, Torquay TQ1

Commanding striking sea views from the sheltered balcony and principal room, this fine coastal apartment occupies an exceptional position to the top, south easterly corner within a prestigious development set at the head of a peaceful cul-de-sac with adjoining mature woodland. Royal Pines sits in extensive, established communal gardens with visitors parking provision, and the apartment benefitting from a private garage and communal lift.

The picturesque Meadfoot Beach is virtually a pebble's throw, being a haven for water sports, with the wooded Ilsham Valley beyond leading toward Wellswood. Torquay's bustling harbour and marina lie approximately one mile away, providing deep water mooring facilities, and where the sea front promenade leads past the Princess Theatre to the flagship Torre Abbey Sands. Royal Pines presents a true lifestyle in the heart of the English Riviera.
