2 bed Flat For Sale £325,000
Description Enviably positioned in the very heart of the English Riviera on Torquay's water front, this coastal apartment forms part of a character grade II listed development affording exceptional sea views over the neighbouring harbour, marina and stretching coastline of Tor Bay. The apartment occupies a top floor position with lift and stair access, and benefits from a private roof terrace.
A selection of waterside restaurants, bars, Princess Theatre and comprehensive range of shops are all on the doorstep, whilst the harbourside and wider areas around Tor Bay are havens for water based activities including fishing, sailing, paddle boarding, and scuba diving. Exceptional mooring facilities are located within a few minutes walk at Torquay's MDL Marina, and the scenic beaches of Meadfoot and Torre Abbey Sands can be found in either direction.
Owner insight "Already living in Torquay I already knew that I wanted my next home to be nestled on the harbourside, due to enjoying the beautiful harbour and marina views, the afternoon and evening sunshine and also appreciating the convenience of the location – with some fantastic restaurants and bars almost on the doorstep. I was attracted to Royal Marina Court for some time, having unfortunately previously missed an opportunity to purchase there, as it had all of the benefits that I was seeking and yet was just far enough away from the hustle and bustle to enable peaceful enjoyment. As soon as I saw this apartment come onto the market I knew that it was to be the next home for me, but I also knew that I would have to move quickly to secure it. Thankfully I was successful in purchasing the apartment and I have thoroughly enjoyed my time living here, enhancing the accommodation and making it an even more special place to live. Family commitments are now leading me to look to sell the property, with an extremely 'heavy heart', but this will enable any new prospective owners to appreciate the benefits of living by the sea on the English Riviera.
There is so much that I have loved about the property, from the convenience of having fine restaurants on the doorstep, the outstanding views and the large roof terrace for private entertaining or relaxation. These will certainly be missed when I leave Royal Marina Court, but I will be taking a host of fond memories with me."
