Edge of Warberries, Torquay

This GRADE II LISTED residence occupies one of the most prestigious positions on the lower wooded slopes of the Warberries, set proudly behind a secure gated approach with beautiful communal gardens. Sympathetically converted into twelve individual homes, this LOWER GROUND FLOOR APARTMENT occupies one of the finest positions within the development, enjoying a southerly aspect with lovely views over the surrounding communal grounds. The accommodation centres around an impressive open plan reception room, while the principal bedroom benefits from doors opening directly onto the communal gardens.

Collingwood enjoys a peaceful and leafy position on the Warberries hillside, yet remains within easy reach of the amenities at the base of the hill. Torquay's vibrant harbour and marina are close by, along with the sea front and town centre, offering a wonderful array of waterside restaurants, bars and shops. The Princess Theatre and Torre Abbey Sand beach are also within easy reach, along with local schools and transport links, making this a superb setting for those wanting both tranquillity and convenience.

OWNER INSIGHT

"Collingwood is an incredible place to live. I fell in love with it at the first viewing and have been extremely happy living there. From the beautiful and peaceful setting and a feeling of being on holiday all the time, to the wonderful and friendly neighbours where there is a sense of privacy but also community. I had planned on it being my forever home as I love it so much but life has thrown some unexpected but brilliant changes my way so am moving on to a new adventure. I know whoever buys it will be equally as happy as I have been, it really is a little paradise."
