Park Hill Road, Torquay

Set in a select gated development nestled on the hillside above Torquay’s vibrant Harbour and Marina, enjoying fine sea and coastal views over the inner harbour and yacht marina, this THREE BEDROOM MARINE TOWN HOUSE provides comfortable living space arranged over three levels, thoughtfully planned and benefitting from a private paved terrace and balcony to the westerly elevation taking full advantage of these wonderful views. 

An open plan kitchen/dining room is situated to the ground floor and is complemented by a sitting room, three bedrooms (two en-suite) and family bathroom over the upper two levels.  The property also offers allocated parking and a single garage.

'The Riviera' is enviably tucked back from the hustle and bustle in a peaceful setting yet just a short saunter from the vibrant waterside bars, restaurants, Princess Theatre and array of leisure activities.

OWNERS INSIGHT

"Our association with Torquay has spanned three generations with the family enjoying many happy and memorable stays. We bought the property in 1999 as one of the original owners when the historic Hotel Riviera was turned into a residential development. Our children were very young at the time and have grown up visiting Torquay and the beautiful surrounding Riviera. The property is in a truly fantastic position overlooking the harbour and the marina and benefits from a garage and a dedicated parking space behind electric gates, but only a few minutes walk away from the numerous attractions on the seafront. Although one of the smaller homes, No 2 offers very well planned and spacious accommodation. We also fitted a new kitchen last year. As our family has grown up, we feel now is the time to move on and sell."
