Lincombes, Torquay

This striking GARDEN LEVEL APARTMENT forms part of an exclusive modern development set within the prestigious Lincombe Manor Retirement Village, adjacent to the Grade II Listed Manor House. Aptly named, Thatcher View commands beautiful sea views toward Thatcher Rock from its stunning position on the wooded Lincombes hillside, one of Torquay’s most prestigious districts and a conservation area set above the picturesque Meadfoot Beach. The apartment is appointed to a high specification, with the principal room flowing onto the private sheltered terrace and communal gardens. Communal facilities available to owners and occupiers include an extensive roof terrace, gymnasium, restaurant, coffee lounge and library.

The development is nestled peacefully at the head of a cul-de-sac with no through traffic, yet within easy reach of the hustle and bustle of Torquay's harbour, MDL Marina and town centre to the west. Meadfoot beach is directly in front within a mile distance to the south, accessed by winding roads and meandering wooded pathways.

OWNER'S INSIGHT

"Thatcher View has been my home since 2018, and is a warm and welcoming development. Whilst Thatcher View is set away from the main Manor House, I can enjoy all the benefits of the wider development which provides a comforting lifestyle. On the top floor of Thatcher view we have a gymnasium, not that I visited much!, and a large roof terrace where the views are magnificent. The manor has a wonderful concierge team, excellent restaurant, comfortable surroundings for a social coffee, glass of wine, or game of snooker. I am only leaving Thatcher View as move counties, and fortunately able to offer my apartment chain free."
