Description

Located within a distinguished Victorian Grade II listed building, this exceptional ground floor apartment offers expansive living spaces, including two bedrooms, a master ensuite, a spacious lounge, a modern kitchen, and a family bathroom. The property also features secure, gated off-road parking, accessible via automated gates, making it an ideal lock-up-and-leave residence.

Castle Chambers, originally built as a hospital in 1850 and later used as a county court, was expertly converted into a sought-after apartment complex in 2002. Situated in the heart of Torquay Town Centre, it is within close proximity to the Harbourside and a wide range of local amenities.

Accommodation

The apartment is accessed via a secure entry point leading into a communal hallway with level access to the property.

Upon entry, a hallway with a secure telecom entry system provides access to all rooms. Additional features include Wi-Fi and telephone points, central heating radiators, and two storage cupboards with shelving and hanging rail storage.

The impressive Lounge-Dining Room features timber sash windows, central heating radiators, and a range of power and media points. The room is enhanced by stunning four-meter-high ceilings, period details such as coving, cornice, and a picture rail, as well as a feature fireplace. An opening leads into the modern kitchen.

The well-appointed kitchen is equipped with a range of wall and base units, work surfaces with splashbacks, an integrated cooker, gas hob, and extractor fan. The boiler is mounted to the wall, and the kitchen offers space and plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine. An inset sink with a mixer tap and a service hatch into the lounge further complement the space.

The family bathroom features a modern three-piece suite, including a panelled bath with a glass screen and shower over, a low-level WC, and a washbasin. The bathroom is finished with tiling to the splashbacks, a vanity mirror with shaver point, and a central heating radiator.

Master Bedroom & Ensuite

The master bedroom, with timber sash windows to the rear, benefits from a central heating radiator and a range of power and media points. The room has direct access to the spacious ensuite bathroom.

The ensuite is a luxurious space, featuring a free-standing roll-top bath with a feature shower attachment, a low-level WC, and a pedestal washbasin. The room is partially tiled, with dual aspect timber sash windows to the rear, tiling to the floor, and a central heating radiator.

Second Bedroom/Office

The second bedroom, also with timber sash windows to the rear and central heating radiators, is ideal as either a bedroom or a home office. Originally part of the master ensuite, it still retains plumbing connections, offering flexibility for future use.

Exterior

The property is set back from Union Street, with secure access to the front leading to a spacious communal hallway, providing level access to the apartment. The rear parking area is accessible via remote-controlled gates, offering secure off-road parking.
