St Marychurch, Torquay

Set in the very heart of St Marychurch amidst its vibrant village atmosphere, this GROUND FLOOR FLAT forms part of a small, select development sympathetically converted to afford all the conveniences of a modern home yet retaining the character of its origins. This particular apartment enjoys individual accommodation complimented with a large conservatory flowing onto its own sizeable private terrace. The development enjoys the benefits of beautiful communal gardens, complete with striking Canadian Redwood, with an off-road parking space also an added advantage.

Chatsworth House stands just a short, level saunter to all the amenities St Marychurch has to offer including local shops, chain stores, medical centres, eateries, Churches, post office and banking facilities to name but a few. A short distance further, yet within comfortable walking distance lies Torquay's Golf Club and the picturesque Babbacombe Downs with the shingle beaches of Oddicombe and Babbacombe below which can be accessed by the renowned funicular Cliff Railway or winding wooded pathways.

SELLERS INSIGHT

"Being set in the heart of St Marychurch we are on the level and within an easy walk of all of the day-to-day amenities that we need. There are a splendid range of shops almost on our doorstep, with a selection of independent traders and two supermarkets, doctors, dentist, chemist, post office and much more. There are also a number of bus routes here too, ensuring that we are not dependent on the car for anything we do. Torquay Golf Course is just around the corner, which of course was an added attraction! We have now got to the time in life where health is necessitating a move for us, and it is with a heavy heart that we have decided to sell our lovely home and move to somewhere that will offer us extra assistance. We will take fond memories of our time at Chatsworth House with us and wish any new owners every happiness here."
