Description

Ridgeway Heights is a landmark development occupying a prominent, elevated position on the Lincombes hillside, well placed for Torquay harbour, marina and seafront. This CHAIN-FREE second floor, two bedroom apartment offers a well-proportioned layout, enhanced by a private, covered balcony to the front aspect, providing a pleasant extension of the living space.

Beneath the development is a sheltered communal area with clothes drying facilities and allocated bin stores. Residents benefit from a selection of parking bays, arranged both within an underground garage and at an entry level car park, subject to availability and separate agreement with the management company. In addition, unrestricted on-road parking can be found along Ridgeway Road and neighbouring roads.

The location is ideally placed for accessing Torquay's harbour and marina, with the seafront promenade extending towards the Princess Theatre and Torre Abbey Sands. The area is noted for its leisure opportunities, with nearby walks to Meadfoot Beach, Ilsham Valley and sections of the South West Coast Path. Wellswood is equally accessible and provides a desirable local hub, offering Kent's Pub, a post office, patisserie, the Co-op, St Matthias Church and Ilsham Primary School, contributing to the appeal of this well-situated apartment.
