2 bedroom flat for sale

This COASTAL PENTHOUSE offers breathtaking sea views of Tor Bay, perched in the prime position on the Waldon hillside capturing the panoramic vista stretching from Torquay's inner harbour, over the marina toward Brixham's Berry Head, and stunning coastline toward Torre Abbey Sands. The wrap-around private sun terrace faces southerly, taking full advantage of the unparalleled views over the the sparkling waters, and a simply amazing space to relax or entertain from sunrise to sunset. The living space is bathed in natural light. The property also has potential for those wishing to redesign or adapt, potentially incorporating the kitchen in the principal room to have direct access to the terracing, and creating a larger second bedroom.

Waldon House is enviably set back from the vibrant sea front, yet a mere saunter from the MDL Marina, Princess Theatre, and wide array of waterside restaurants and bars. Torquay Rail Station is found beyond Torre Abbey Sands, and exceptional leisure facilities nearby include the TLH Resort, English Riviera Centre, and Torquay Tennis Club.

OWNERS INSIGHT

"I have owned the penthouse for nearly 20 years, and the views never cease to amaze me. You feel like you are in a bubble, watching the world go by at birds eye level. I particularly like the fact I have no directly adjoining neighbours, and the private terrace wraps around the full perimeter. The location on the Waldon hillside is also perfect. I can drop down to the harbour, Princess Theatre, beach, or town within a matter of minutes. The early morning sun rising up in the dark mornings of winter is truly memorable from the lounge bay window all before my first morning cuppa, and ends its journey later that day as it follows you to retire early. Peace and quiet is what I found here. It is with a heavy heart I have taken the decision to sell, but I am now caring for my elderly mum."
