Set within a small development of just twelve purpose-built apartments, this generously proportioned three-bedroom penthouse presents a superb opportunity to enjoy coastal living in a prime Torquay location, close to the sought-after Wellswood area and the town's popular yacht marina.

This exceptional home is enhanced by a private terrace that provides spectacular views towards the marina and the sea-an outstanding feature that sets this property apart. Internally, the apartment impresses with its spacious and versatile accommodation. This includes two reception rooms, a stylish contemporary kitchen, a separate utility room, and three bedrooms, one of which includes an en-suite.

The area is also home to the Parish Church of St Matthias, a local landmark and community hub. Babbacombe Road and Ilsham Road offer easy access to Torquay's bustling harbour, town centre, and the coastal areas of Babbacombe and St Marychurch.
