Livermead, Torquay

Nestling on the lower slopes of the Livermead hillside this fine two-bedroom APARTMENT is situated on the third (top) floor of this purpose built development of just 12 quality homes, yet is only two floors above the entrance level, and enjoys some sea views into Tor Bay. The spacious principal room opens onto a sunny south easterly facing balcony overlooking the well-tended communal lawned garden, with the large master bedroom also enjoying some sea views and also benefitting from an en-suite shower room. Parking is provided by an allocated space.

Torquay’s sea front and Tor Abbey Sands are just a short saunter away whilst a host of amenities and leisure activities are within close proximity including the scenic Cockington Country Park, Torquay’s train station, leisure centre, theatre, harbourside and yacht marina to name just a few.

SELLERS INSIGHT

"We have owned this gorgeous flat in Torquay for about 8 years. It has been cosy and homely in all seasons. Bijou & perfectly formed with its balcony letting the outside in to its bright & airy lounge. This is a perfect flat for a little family, or a couple. A quiet getaway from the hubbub! Perfectly located for the beach, a stroll into Torquay, a visit to Paignton Zoo, as well as Babbacombe & cliffside Oddicombe. There’s a great atmosphere at the marina and families can be seen crabbing in the harbour. A short walk to local eateries and bars, as well as the quaint Village of Cockington, steeped in history and with its craft village and ‘The Drum Inn’, where they do a great pub lunch. Torre Abbey also offers Art galleries & extensive gardens. The people are warm & friendly - always ready for a chat. We will miss our wonderful holiday home and all of us have left part of ourselves in the beautiful English Riviera."
