Chelston, Torquay

Located in one of Torbay's most sought-after residential locations, Scottleigh was constructed in 1998 and occupies a commanding corner position just yards back from the sea front at Corbyn Head. This particular apartment is set to the first floor with the south easterly facing principal accommodation and balcony gaining some sea views into Torbay. The apartment provides well-proportioned accommodation with both PVCu double glazing and gas central heating as well as a single garage.

The picturesque Cockington Country Park covering circa 450 acres of woodland, meadows and lakes to enjoy are accessible virtually on the doorstep, whilst Torquay rail station is approximately a five minute walk away. For more comprehensive amenities the town centre and Yacht Marina are within a pleasant almost level sea front saunter.

SELLERS INSIGHT

"When we took the hard decision to downsize from our former home we decided that an apartment was the obvious choice for us. Having looked at several developments within the town but not finding what we needed we suddenly found Scottleigh, which appeared to offer us exactly what we wanted. Upon visiting the development we immediately knew that we had found our new home, and we still love living here over 21 years later, having never regretted our move! We have found that Scottleigh offers a good size, easily maintained home in an extremely convenient location. Whilst living here we have enjoyed strolls along Torquay's picturesque seafront, as well walks through the Cockington Valley in the opposite direction. The parade of shops in nearby Walnut Road admirably cater for our everyday needs and the regular bus service found within a short walk has provided us with an easy link to the town centre and harbourside.
