Occupying one of the most dramtic coastal positions on the exclusive Rock End Avenue, Overcrag commands 180 degree panoramic views over Tor Bay and the stretching coastline, arguably one of the finest sea views in South Devon.  The property affords a versatile five bedroom design of some 3,000 square feet, with the principal living space to the ground floor, and primary bedroom to the first floor.  The accommodation is complemented by extensive driveway parking, double garaging, and south facing garden. 

The location provides a true lifestyle in the heart of the English Riviera, with the garden bordering the picturesque South West Coast Path between Daddyhole Plain and Torquay Harbour.  A selection of waterside bars, highly regarded restaurants, and the Royal Torbay Yacht Club are within walking distance, with Torquay Marina beyond the vibrant harbour.  Meadfoot Beach, a haven for water sports can be found past Daddyhole Plain to the north east. 

OWNER'S INSIGHT

"When the opportunity to purchase Overcrag came up in 2014, we knew we had to make it our home. We were already living on Rock End, but there are only a select few properties with such a dramatic position benefiting from uninterupted sea views. The building was in its original state, and over the years we have enhanced it to meet our needs, but appreciate with a house such as this it is the plot which is the attraction, and a new owner may wish to redesign to their own requirements. In our opinion the location is unrivalled in Torbay. Not only do we enjoy the outstanding views, but we are a matter of minutes' walk to restaurants, theatres, Torquay Marina, or Meadfoot Beach. We are fortunate to own a second property and therefore can offer Overcrag chain free."
