The local beaches form a golden arc around the bay with shingle coves scattered nearby. The town provides a wonderful quality of life for its residents with excellent shopping, waterside restaurants, a theatre and bars. Internationally renowned water sports are held in the sheltered bay, with the marina providing excellent mooring facilities for luxury yachts and motor cruisers. The area provides many scenic walks along south Devon's coastal footpaths, with local golf courses also nearby.

Accommodation - The privately-owned Danby Heights Close leads up and around to this chic property, redesigned and optimised for modern living by the current owner. Accessed via a communal entrance vestibule with useful utility cupboard, a private ground floor entrance then leads into the home. Seven steps lead up towards the living space while skylights flood the stairwell and hallway with natural light. The hallway provides a welcoming space with ample shoe and cloak storage by the front door, as well as a large storage space on the first floor of the property for pantry, linen, or utility storage. On the first floor a well-appointed kitchen and lounge area face towards the impressive views of the sea over the woodlands above Meadfoot Beach, allowing the views to be enjoyed while cooking, entertaining, and lounging. The kitchen comprises of green base and wall-mounted units - complimenting the natural beauty of the trees outside the window - integrated slimline dishwasher, space for freestanding fridge/freezer, white sink with drainer and stainless-steel tap over, induction hob, inset eye-level double oven and microwave, and a marble-effect worktop with overhang creating a breakfast bar with space for stools underneath. While the kitchen has elegant tile-effect flooring, the lounge space is neutrally carpeted creating two distinct spaces. The L-shaped lounge area provides ample space for sofa and coffee table facing the wonderful views, and a separate dining area around the corner if desired, in addition to the breakfast bar. A well-ventilated large utility room with low-maintenance flooring on the second floor provides a discreet space for laundry, drying out water sports equipment, extra white goods, and general storage - there is space for a washing machine in here under the worktops, cupboards for storage, an elevated wall-mounted storage rack, and a stainless steel two-bowl sink with inset drainer. Across the hallway from the reception room is a bright double room which lends itself perfectly to being a second reception room if desired, i.e. a snug, study, or equally would make a generous bedroom overlooking the quiet and landscaped private road. The stairs ascend next to the principal bedroom, a considerably sizeable double bedroom naturally lit by the patio doors which open to a covered balcony. In here there is ample space for a large bed, bedside tables, a sofa or chaise, and chest of drawers, all in addition to the built-in wardrobes with attractive green shutter doors. Bedroom two or three, dependant on your preference, is located on the top floor of this property and benefits from blue shutter doors on the built-in wardrobes to give the space a distinct identity, with space for double bed and further storage or dressing table if wanted. The property benefits from both a bathroom and a shower room, both with WC and wash hand basins.

Outside - From the lounge and the principal bedroom are covered south-facing balconies, accessible through sliding patio doors. Both of these spaces provide a sheltered area with ample space for table and chairs from which to enjoy the views and the sunshine, with wildlife and birdsong surrounding.
