DESCRIPTION

Lucerne stands on the desirable wooded hillside of the Warberries commanding SEA VIEWS to Tor Bay and across the valley. Occupying a FIFTH FLOOR POSITION to the bright south west corner, the FLAT has been priced to reflect a degree of modernisation now beneficial. Outside is an allocated parking space with additional visits provisions, and extensive communal garden which slope away from the development. Torquay's town, harbourside and yacht marina lie at the base of the hill offering a hive of activity and boasting a wealth of water sports, waterside restaurants, bars, and shopping. From Torquay Marina, the sea front promenade flows past the Princess Theatre to Torre Abbey Sands Beach and Torre Abbey Meadow. Local amenities can be found at nearby Wellswood with its village ambiance, located just past the end of Lower Warberry Road providing a parade of shops, restaurants, pub, Church and primary school.

OWNER'S INSIGHT

"The flat has been in our family ownership for ten years, and for ourselves a rental investment. We appreciate it would now benefit from a general uplift as showing its age, but offers the key attributes of view, location, and value for money. The flat is a blank canvass for a new owner to enhance to their own style, whether a continued buy-to-let, owner occupier, or second home. The position is excellent, with Wellswood a comfortable walk and the harbour at the bottom of the hill, although we would say it is easier getting down then back up! The allocated parking space was important to us, and the gardens can be enjoyed by the residents without the hassle of upkeeping them which is organised by our professional block management."

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on April 27, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on April 27, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
