Queens Quay, Victoria Parade, Torquay

LOCATION
Perfectly positioned in the vibrant waterside location, this unique home presents a true lifestyle in the very heart of the English Riviera. Within a short saunter are mooring facilities at MDL Marina, host of waterside bars and restaurants, and sea front promenade passing the Princess Theatre toward Torquay's flagship Torre Abbey Sands Beach and Torre Abbey meadow.

Torquay is nestled on the warm South Devon coast being one of three towns along with Paignton and Brixham which form the natural east facing harbour of Torbay, sheltered from the English Channel. Torbay's wide selection of stunning beaches, picturesque coastline, mild climate and recreational facilities reinforce why it has rightfully earned the renowned nickname of the English Riviera.
