Description One of the finest views over the English Riviera is encompassed from this coastal apartment forming part of a select development perched on the hillside overlooking Torquay's sheltered harbour and yacht marina. The property is tastefully presented and featuring a striking principal room with picture window facing a westerly aspect taking full advantage of the breath-taking outlook. A communal garden is available for residents enjoyment, and a large private garage is located in a nearby block.
'Vane Cliff' is enviably tucked back from the hustle and bustle in a peaceful setting yet Victorian pathways make swift access to the vibrant harbourside, yacht marina and town centre. Waterside bars, restaurants, Princess Theatre and array of leisure activities can all be found on the doorstep, whilst following the sea front promenade takes you to the flagship Torre Abbey Sands Beach, historic Torre Abbey, Torquay Train Station and leisure centre.
Owners insight "The apartment has been owned by our family for 50 years and has never been on the open market. The building was one of the Torquay villas dating from the mid 1860's and converted to Serviced Apartments in 1966. To start with our relatives rented flats in the building for holidays and in 1969 took the opportunity to buy their favourite apartment when the usage was changed to residential. Initially they used it for holidays but on retirement they moved from London and made it their permanent home"
"When we inherited about nine years ago, it was their wish that we should enjoy it with our friends and family, which is precisely what we've done"
"Following renovation work, we've had such happy times and numerous guests. There's always something to watch from the window, be it the constant activity in the harbour, beach and town and the ever changing weather to sailing events, air shows, fireworks and, at the end of the day, spectacular sunsets – all enjoyed from the comfort of an arm chair!"
