This THREE BEDROOM GARDEN APARTMENT is nestled on the lower slopes of the Livermead hillside enjoying splendid sea views into Tor Bay and across to Torquay harbour. Forming part of a select development of just eight quality homes the apartment provides well presented, neutrally decorated accommodation, opening out directly on to a paved patio with the well-tended lawned communal gardens beyond. The principle living space offers a sitting room with separate dining area which flows into the kitchen, and this is complemented by an en-suite main bedroom.

OWNERS INSIGHT
"My first impressions of the property blew me away. From coming into the car park with the magnificent sea views to approaching the front doors and seeing such a clean and well-kept building. The flat is very spacious and having the third bedroom is ideal for family members to come and stay. The views from the lounge and master bedroom are absolutely amazing and provide an ever-changing scene throughout the changing seasons. The terrace area is an ideal place to sit and watch the world go by along with the boats going in and out of the harbour. The location is perfect for being close to all local amenities and being on the doorstep of Cockington."
