Description

Commanding a prime elevated position above Torquay's picturesque harbourside, this exceptional waterfront townhouse offers a refined take on coastal living, complete with breathtaking panoramic views across the marina and bay. Designed to maximise its outlook, the property features private balconies on each level, providing an ever-changing backdrop of the sea and sky. Constructed circa 2015 by renowned McCarthy developers, the home forms part of an award-winning development recognised nationally with the LABC Building Excellence Award in 2016 for its design and build quality. This contemporary four-bedroom residence combines stylish interiors with practical living, including the added benefit of two secure parking spaces both within the underground garage. One is located within a private car port and the other is an allocated space within the garage.

Occupying a distinguished elevated position above Torquay's harbour and yacht marina, Park Hill Road lies in one of the town's oldest residential quarters. This is now a designated conservation area known for its historical character and enviable setting. This prestigious address offers direct access to the vibrant marina and the wide range of amenities in the town centre. This makes it an exceptionally convenient location for both leisure and everyday living. From the nearby harbour, the Millennium Bridge seamlessly links the north and south piers, guiding pedestrians onto the picturesque seafront promenade that curves gracefully around the bay. The waterfront is lined with an excellent selection of cafés and restaurants, many specialising in fresh, locally sourced seafood. Many feature outdoor terraces ideal for enjoying Torquay's coastal atmosphere.

The Approach

Accessed via secure gated entry points, Corbyn Sands offers pedestrian access from Parkhill Road and vehicle access through a remotely operated underground garage. The property benefits from its own secure car port, with a private internal staircase leading directly to the principal reception level. Alternatively, arrival via the pedestrian entrance brings you to an obscured double-glazed front door, opening into a bright and contemporary reception hallway. This welcoming space is finished with polished large-format floor tiles and crisp white walls, setting a clean, modern tone for the interiors beyond. From here, a staircase rises to the upper level, while a discreetly located ground floor cloakroom provides practical convenience, complete with full-height tiling, a wall-mounted basin, WC under an obscured window, and a chrome heated towel rail. The hallway leads onwards into the dining area through an internal door, seamlessly connecting the entrance to the heart of the home.

Contemporary Dining

Continuing the sleek aesthetic introduced in the reception hallway, the open-plan kitchen and dining area is finished with polished large-format floor tiles, creating a clean, cohesive flow throughout. The dining space is well-proportioned, easily accommodating a family-sized table beneath twin contemporary chandelier-style light fittings that add elegance and symmetry. A standout feature is the toughened glass partition with sliding doors, offering a stylish division between the dining and sitting areas while maintaining a bright, open-plan feel. Practicality is considered with a built-in storage cupboard and shelving, alongside an internal door providing direct access to the landing and stairs down to the secure underground garage and car port. For added convenience and security, the dining room also houses a wall-mounted video intercom system, enabling remote access through the pedestrian gate on Parkhill Road.

Bespoke Kitchen

The bespoke kitchen presents a striking visual centrepiece, anchored by a slate-blue feature wall that houses twin integrated fridge/freezers and a premium AEG double oven, thoughtfully flanked by open shelving and wine storage, all highlighted by ambient downlighting. Matching high gloss wall and base cabinetry continues throughout, complemented by granite work surfaces and subtle undercounter illumination. A breakfast bar overhang provides casual seating, with a built-in wine cooler neatly positioned beneath. Additional integrated appliances include a Neff induction hob with sleek extractor, eye-level microwave, dishwasher, and a deep brushed steel one-and-a-half sink with instant hot water tap. The space is completed with full-height tiled splashbacks, large polished floor tiles that extend from the dining room, and discreet plinth lighting set within the base units, adding a refined finishing touch to this thoughtfully curated culinary space.

Sitting Room with Harbourside Views

The sitting room features polished large-format floor tiles and provides a generous setting to enjoy uninterrupted views across Torquay’s picturesque harbourside. A stainless steel vertical designer radiator adds a contemporary edge, while an integrated air conditioning unit offers climate control for year-round comfort. Natural light floods the space through double-glazed French doors and an adjacent sliding patio door, both fitted with privacy glass to reduce solar glare and maintain a discreet outlook. These doors open onto a private terrace laid with low-maintenance composite decking and enclosed by frameless glass balustrading with stainless steel handrails, framing the coastal scenery to full effect. This superb outdoor extension of the living space is thoughtfully equipped with exterior lighting, electrical sockets, and a tap. It is ideal for alfresco dining or relaxing while enjoying the marina backdrop.

Serving the first floor is a luxurious and well-appointed four-piece bathroom suite, designed with contemporary finishes and an emphasis on comfort and style.

The suite comprises a generous double shower enclosure with a rainfall showerhead and handheld attachment. It also comprises a concealed cistern WC, and a modern waterfall-style basin set atop a tiled shelf. A heated towel rail and a double-glazed window complete the space, offering comfort, practicality, and natural light in equal measure.

Second Floor - Modern Shower Room

Serving the upper floor is a contemporary shower room, finished to a high standard with fully tiled walls and flooring for a sleek, cohesive aesthetic.
