Description

Occupying an elevated position within the highly desirable Danby Heights development, this beautifully presented three-bedroom duplex apartment enjoys a peaceful setting above the wooded slopes of Lincombe Valley, with far-reaching sea views and an exceptional sense of privacy.

The property is modern in style and immaculately maintained throughout, offering spacious and well-balanced accommodation arranged over two levels. At the centre of the home is an impressive open-plan living space, seamlessly combining the sitting room, kitchen and breakfast area to create a sociable and contemporary environment, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. From here, doors open directly onto a private enclosed balcony, perfectly positioned to enjoy lovely coastal views framed by the surrounding greenery.

The apartment has been enhanced by the current owners, including the installation of a new balcony in 2025, which benefits from a 20-year guarantee. In addition, a replacement flat roof completed in 2026 and covered by a 15-year guarantee.

Further advantages include an allocated parking space for one vehicle, in addition to visitor parking within the development.

Danby Heights is situated within the Lincombes, one of Torquay's most sought-after residential locations. Approaching via Lincombe Drive, an elegant Victorian carriage route originally designed to reveal the area's sweeping coastal outlooks, the development enjoys an ideal combination of tranquillity, natural beauty and convenience.

The nearby village of Wellswood offers an excellent range of day-to-day amenities within a welcoming community setting, including a deli, patisserie, café, pharmacy and post office. For those who enjoy the outdoors, a woodland walk from the development leads down to Meadfoot Beach, while the South West Coast Path provides access to some of Devon's most striking coastline. Torquay's harbourside, with its marina, restaurants and boutique shopping, is also just over a mile away.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a stylish and well-appointed home in an enviable coastal setting.
