4 bed Flat For Sale £560,000
Description Standing proudly above the picturesque Meadfoot Beach amidst seven acres of landscaped grounds on Torquay's exclusive Ilsham Marine Drive, Kilmorie is an iconic development commanding arguably Torbay's most prominent coastal location with unparalleled sea views.
This fine double apartment exudes space, combining two apartments to afford one commodious marine residence of great versatility. Centrally positioned within the development on the fourth floor, the striking coastal views are unrivalled being one of Torbay's most prominent waterfront locations overlooking Thatcher Rock, Meadfoot Beach and across Tor Bay to Brixham's Berry Head. The gentle curve of the building not only retains an architectural statement 60 years on but ensures privacy to the southerly facing main rooms and enclosed balconies whilst maximising natural light and warmth.
Owners insight "We will miss the huge tinted windows showing uninterrupted panoramic views of Meadfoot Beach and the most fantastic views across the bay, which never cease to amaze. Every day there is something different to see and there were special moments of Fireworks at New Year and annual acrobatic displays by the Red Arrows. Not forgetting the glorious sunsets; we were truly spoilt. It's a lovely warm, secure flat and the spacious rooms, together with masses of storage space, would be the best place to isolate, if you ever needed to again!
Wellswood has a wealth of little shops which have everything you need, but there is a choice of interesting shops in St Marychurch or larger supermarkets not far away at The Willows.
The Management Committee helps things to run smoothly; the gardens are beautifully kept and the Caretaker at Kilmorie is second to none – nothing was ever too much trouble and good to know help is always quickly at hand."
