Description

Shirley Towers consists of three purpose built blocks enjoying a superb elevated position, providing stunning sea views and panoramic outlooks across Torquay Harbourside and beyond. This apartment is located within Block A on level 5. However, this is only 1 floor up from the main entrance. The lift opens into a private hallway leading to the apartment's front door. On entering the apartment your eye is immediately drawn to the fabulous view.

The entrance hallway leads to the lounge & dining room. The sunroom extends from the lounge where the view can be enjoyed from large picture windows. The kitchen and the 3 bedrooms, master ensuite, cloakroom and family bathroom are accessed from the hallway. The apartment which benefits from double glazing and gas central heating, is being offered with vacant possession and would benefit from some modernisation, making this the perfect opportunity to create a luxurious apartment in this coastal location.
