Harbour & Quays, 22 Cleveland Road, Torquay, TQ2 5BE

A period detached property with accommodation arranged over three floors, Harbour & Quays has been reconfigured over the years to provide flexible accommodation both in conventional care home bedrooms and a more independent provision.

The main building (Harbour) is conventionally laid out with main reception rooms and kitchen on the ground floor along with one bedroom and office whilst the first floor is separated by two independent (and unconnected) staircases leading to a total of four first floor bedrooms and a small independent studio flat.

On the lower ground floor (Quays) there are three independent flats, two of which are accessed from the main entrance and another that has fully independent access from the driveway.

Externally there is a dual driveway – either side of the main building – and access can be gained all the way around the property to the rear garden which is divided into three sections and also includes a sun terrace/patio.

The current layout of the accommodation and general flexibility that it offers means that this property could lend itself to a variety of future uses whether as a registered provision or more independent living.

The property is situated in a primarily residential area towards the outskirts of the town yet within easy reach of both local amenities and those within the town centre as well as the Harbour and seafront.

Torquay, along with the neighbouring towns of Paignton and Brixham forms the area known as Torbay and has good road connections via the A380 which links with the motorway network at Junction 31 of the M5, Exeter. It also has a branch line railway which connects to both Newton Abbot and Exeter St Davids where it joins the main Penzance to Paddington line providing direct access to central London.

Having operated as part registered provision, part supported living, Harbour & Quays ceased trading in the spring of 2026 and is now being offered for sale with immediate vacant possession.

The arrangement and layout of the property affords a great deal of flexibility given the independent and semi-independent nature of the accommodation alongside the main property and with multiple access points it could suit a variety of potential care uses as well as various alternatives, subject to the necessary planning permissions being obtained.

It is rare to find properties of this nature offering such scope and therefore, we expect it to appeal to a wide range of potential purchasers.

We are inviting offers on a guide price of £595,000 for the freehold interest in the property with immediate vacant possession.

The buyer will, on completion of the sale, be required to enter into an Election under Section 198 of the Capital Allowances Act apportioning £1 of the sale price to each of the integral features and plant and machinery at the property.

Harbour (the main building) was previously registered with CQC to provide residential care to a maximum of six residents under 65 years of age and with specialisms in Learning Disabilities and Sensory Impairments however this registration ceased in December 2025.

Therefore, any interested party seeking to re-establish a registered provision should make their own enquiries of CQC prior to committing to a purchase.
