Harbourside, Torquay

The Vinery is one of Torbay's most prestigious retirement developments, commanding a prominent position on the lower hillside above Torquay's harbour. This particular APARTMENT is one of the largest in the development, originally designed to afford three bedrooms, with the smallest bedroom having been opened up to create a spacious sitting/dining room, yet could easily be reverted as the separate doorway remains. The Development features a communal roof top conservatory and raised gardens with both enjoying exceptional sea views, residents laundry, guest suite and secure lower ground parking with allocated space.

Torquay's vibrant harbour, yacht marina and town centre are all within a gentle stroll, providing an array of shopping, dining and leisure amenities. A pleasant, level walk across the sea front promenade leads to the Princess Theatre, Torre Abbey Sands, leisure centre and train station.

OWNERS INSIGHT

“Having previously owned a property in the town and enjoyed my time living here there was only one place to consider when I wanted to purchase a holiday home in England, and so I returned to the area that still holds lots of happy memories for me, Torquay. Having returned to the town I have found that I still loved it here and was immediately attracted to The Vinery, due to the quality of the building, the facilities that it offers and its convenient location – with the scenic harbourside just a short stroll away and the amenities of the town centre also easily accessible. Due to my advancing years and change of plans it is with great reluctance that I am now considering selling my beautiful apartment but this will give any new owner the opportunity of enjoying the benefits that The Vinery offers.”
