St. Marychurch Road, Torquay

Nestled to the top floor of this modern purpose built development, constructed by local builders of repute Messrs Cavanna Homes, this well presented TWO BEDROOM APARTMENT provides well proportioned, bright and airy living space enjoying open elevated views over the surrounding area and across to Dartmoor in the distance.  The accommodation offers a double aspect principal room, two double bedrooms (one en-suite) and a bathroom/WC.  The Pines is set within attractive landscaped communal gardens and the apartment benefits from one allocated parking space.

The property is situated in an enviable, level position close to parade of local shops at Plainmoor and Lidl supermarket, catering for everyday needs, with the more comprehensive amenities of both St Marychurch and Torquay town centre also easily accessible, with a regular bus service passing the door. A selection of schools and a public swimming pool are also all within comfortable walking distance.

SELLERS INSIGHT

"When mum decided to move to a newer home that also required very little maintenance she viewed many flats in Torbay but The Pines really was the standout property because of its smart design, how quiet the building was, the spacious bedrooms and beautiful gardens alongside the lovely communal areas. She told me that as soon as she walked into the flat she just knew it was the one. The location was also a strong pull factor given how close the flat is to both local shops and the town centre so I wasn't surprised when she chose this property above the others she viewed. More recently, we rented out the flat to a couple who stayed for 5 years and loved what the property had to offer but also its location for easy access to other parts of the Bay for work and to the A380 link road."
