St Marychurch, Torquay

A SECOND (TOP) FLOOR APARTMENT forming part of Welton Park, an exclusive development of just eight homes, ideally situated in the heart of St Marychurch. The development comprises just six striking apartments and two elegant townhouses, all constructed to an exceptional standard. Great care has been taken to reflect the character of the surrounding conservation area, with the development’s elegant period styling thoughtfully combined with a contemporary finish. This particular apartment has been beautifully maintained by its sole owner since new, offering light-filled, airy accommodation throughout. The property benefits from a convenient and desirable location, as well as the added security of gated living.

Enviably set in one of Torquay's most desirable districts, the development is a short, level saunter to the vibrant pedestrianised shopping precinct and just a few minutes walk away from the picturesque Babbacombe Downs from where access is gained to both Babbacombe and Oddicombe Beaches.

OWNER INSIGHT

"Having previously lived in St Marychurch but since moved elsewhere, when I was last looking to move I immediately knew that I wanted to return to St Marychurch as it offers me so much, on the level, with a good selection of independent shops on the doorstep, strong transport links and wonderful walks also found close by, it admirably caters for my everyday needs. Since returning I still appreciate how convenient the location is. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time living here at Welton Park and found it to be an extremely comfortable home, easily maintained with surprisingly low running costs and lovely friendly neighbours. This is certainly something that I will miss when I move but now having the opportunity of starting a new chapter in my life and spending more time abroad travelling, I feel that the time is right for me to sell the apartment, enabling a new owner to enjoy the benefits of living here at Welton Park."
