Livermead, Torquay

Commanding an exceptional coastal position on the exclusive Livermead hillside, Cliff Lodge is a STUNNING DETACHED COASTAL HOUSE encompassing 180 degree sweeping views over Tor Bay and the stretching coastline, arguably one of the finest sea views in South Devon.  The property presents a true English Riviera lifestyle, with the stunning vista being the backdrop to the southerly terracing and heated outdoor swimming pool. The interior is beautifully presented, with the principal living space taking full advantage of the sea views, arranged in a traditional four bedroom design of circa 2500 sq ft.

Cliff Lodge is enviably located just a short saunter to Torquay seafront and rail station, with the promenade leading past the flagship Torre Abbey Sands Beach, Torre Abbey and meadow, and the Princess Theatre to the Marina and vibrant Harbour. Cockington Country Park is equally accessible, covering circa 460 acres of beautiful woodland, lakes and meadows, whilst heading south takes you to the neighbouring towns of Paignton and Brixham.

SELLER'S INSIGHT

Cliff Lodge holds many special family memories with us. Situated within uninterrupted panoramic views of the Bay our parents saw the potential and took full advantage of redesigning and making open plan living taking in every possible view of the Bay. With a choice of many nearby restaurants and bars, we also have Torquay town centre, the Princess Theatre, Marina and beaches all within walking distance. Owning this beautiful home is a fabulous one time opportunity which we have been lucky enough to have had the privilege of and we very much hope the new owners will enjoy and cherish every moment here as we have as a family.
