Standing at the top of Waldon Hill commanding EXCEPTIONAL SEA AND COASTAL VIEWS of Tor Bay and rolling hills beyond, this BEAUTIFUL APARTMENT occupies a sixth floor position within a landmark purpose built development. The principal room and enclosed balcony take full advantage of the bright south westerly aspect, with the property having undergone a program of modernisation over recent years to present a striking marine home in the very heart of the English Riviera.
Lytton House is set above Torquay's sea front promenade, harbourside, marina, and the town centre, all easily accessible and providing a comprehensive array of amenities including the beach of Torre Abbey Sands, waterside restaurants, bars, Princess Theatre, and mooring facilities. On the opposite side of the sea front and beach is Torquay Train Station, just one stop from the main line Newton Abbot for direct links to major cities.

OWNERS INSIGHT
"The property has provided us with a beautiful space to relax, and take a breather away from our busy work schedules. On a beautiful day the balcony is lovely to watch the world go by with the windows opened wide to enjoy the sun, but equally as nice shut tight and watching the weather change across the bay on a stormy day. Being keen sailors, the marina directly in front of us was a big advantage, and a gateway within the communal garden makes swifter access down through Rock Walk to the sea front. Our work life is now slowing, and the need to come down to Torquay has become less, so we feel the time is right for us to sell. We hope the new owners take as much enjoyment as our family have, and a little less renovation work needed then we took on!
