Prime Waterfront Investment Overlooking Torquay Harbour.

The property is situated in the borough of Torbay, in the county of Devon. It lies approximately 18 miles south of Exeter and 28 miles east-north-east of Plymouth. Torquay is the principal commercial and tourism centre of the English Riviera, attracting millions of visitors each year, whilst serving a resident population of approximately 65,000 across the town, and around 140,000 across the wider Torbay area.

Vaughan Parade occupies one of the town's premier trading locations, directly overlooking Torquay Harbour and Marina. The immediate area is characterised by a vibrant mix of restaurants, cafes, licensed premises, specialist retailers and leisure operators, including Prezzo, Princess Theatre, Domino's Pizza, Hoopers Department Store and Taco Bell.

Torquay Railway Station lies approximately one mile away, whilst excellent road links provide convenient access to Exeter, the M5 motorway and the wider South West.

The property comprises an attractive Grade II Listed period parade extending across Vaughan Parade and Palk Street, providing a mixture of retail accommodation at ground floor level together with office accommodation above.

The retail units occupy prominent positions fronting the harbour and surrounding streets, whilst the upper floors provide office premises accessed independently.
