Hele, Torquay

An ideal opportunity to purchase a spacious TWO BEDROOM FLAT situated to the first floor of this PURPOSE BUILT DEVELOPMENT in this established residential setting.  Providing well-proportioned accommodation and enjoying views over the surrounding area and toward Great Hill from the front, the flat offers entrance hall, sitting room with balcony off, modern kitchen, two good size bedrooms and a bathroom.  There is also an additional, versatile store room and the flat has the benefit of gas central heating.

Set on the outskirts of Torquay the property is positioned within a short drive of the town centre, but equally easily accessible to the South Devon Highway for those looking to commute out of the town.  The Willows out of town shopping centre is found reasonably close to hand, as is Torbay Hospital.  Local primary and secondary schools can be found within walking distance and the playing fields at Windmill Hill are found at the top of the hill.

OWNER INSIGHT

"When I was looking to purchase a property to use as a rental investment, I visited this apartment and immediately realised that this was an ideal opportunity for me. The apartment offers a good level of living space, enjoys open views over the surrounding rooftops to the Great Hill hillside beyond. With it being on the first floor I felt that it was safe and secure. Having now owned the property for 9 years I have found it to be a lovely apartment and it has been an ideal investment for me. In fact my family have even enjoyed their time living there over the last couple of years. We have found there to be a lovely sense of community within the area. With my family now moving on to a home of their own I now feel that the time is right for me to sell the flat but I hope that it will be as happy a home for the new owner as it has been for me."
