Park Hill Road, Torquay

This CHARACTERFUL GARDEN APARTMENT is part of a small development converted within an elegant Victorian coastal residence, positioned virtually a pebble’s throw from Torquay’s vibrant harbourside and within the Torquay Harbour conservation area. Occupying the garden level and approached via an internal stepped access, the apartment offers deceptively spacious accommodation, boasting exceptional storage rarely found in properties of this nature. The principal living space opens directly onto the private garden, arranged with decked and lawned areas for ease of maintenance. Enclosed by walling and fencing, this sheltered outdoor retreat enjoys a desirable westerly aspect, perfectly positioned to capture the late afternoon and evening sunshine.

Peacefully tucked away from the bustle, the apartment enjoys an enviable position just a gentle stroll from the harbour’s lively waterside bars and restaurants, the Princess Theatre and an excellent range of leisure activities. Some of Torquay’s finest dining is also close at hand, including the renowned Orange Tree, Number 7 Fish Bistro and Michelin starred The Elephant on neighbouring Beacon Hill.

OWNERS' INSIGHT

“We have truly loved our time at Park Hill Road and have taken great pride in enhancing our home since moving here in 2018. One of the things we will miss most is the wonderful contrast between the vibrancy of the harbour, quite literally on the doorstep, and the peace and tranquillity of our home and garden, it has always felt like a private retreat from the bustle below. After a busy day, we have always looked forward to coming home, unwinding in the garden or hosting friends as the evening sun sets to the west. It has been a place filled with happy memories, laughter and relaxation. As we are relocating overseas, we are able to offer the property with no onward chain, and hope the next owners will enjoy this special home and lifestyle as much as we have.”
