2 Bedroom Apartment For Sale, St Marychurch, Torquay

This GRACIOUS ENTRANCE LEVEL APARTMENT forms part of an established development enviably positioned just a short stroll from the vibrant St Marychurch ‘village’ precinct. Benefitting from private access and allocated parking, the apartment affords an elegant sitting room and principal bedroom suite, both within the original Victorian residence commanding lofty ceiling heights and detailed cornice work. The bright and airy kitchen/dining room flows out to a private terrace enjoying a westerly aspect and views toward St Mary the Virgin Church tower.

St Marychurch boasts a vibrant pedestrianised shopping precinct and a host of additional amenities easily accessible including, Churches, Post Office, supermarkets, bus services, doctors’ and dentist surgeries. The scenic Babbacombe Downs can be found within close proximity with the shingle beaches of Oddicombe and Babbacombe below, accessed down the wooded hillside via the winding pathways and roads or renowned funicular railway.

OWNERS’ INSIGHT “Our late dad bought the apartment in 2015 from the developer who converted the Kilverstone Hotel to residential in 2001, and had originally retained it as their home being the finest in the development. For our dad the level access, one level living, and gracious room dimensions were perfect for him and until he found Kilverstone, he was struggling to find everything he wanted when downsizing. He could also park directly outside, enjoy his private terrace with a view toward the Church, and an easy walk up to the shopping precinct.

We kept the apartment because of our own love of the property, and the emotional aspect of our father’s love for it. However, with the end of a recent tenancy we feel it is time to let go and let new owners place their own stamp and make their own memories”
