Flat for sale in St. Marychurch Road, Torquay TQ1

Occupying a top floor, south east corner position of an established development, this bright flat has been a loved home for our client circa thirty years. The versatile accommodation has been redesigned with bio-folding doors between the sitting/dining room and second bedroom to afford extended principal living space, although easily reverted. A garage compliments the interior, providing secure parking or exceptional storage.

Local shops at Plainmoor are within close proximity with St Marychurch and Babbacombe beyond where the renowned funicular railway takes passengers down to the shingle beaches of Oddicombe and Babbacombe. Torquay's town centre is equally accessible, whilst public swimming pool, selection of schools and regular bus services also all within walking distance.

EPC Rating: D

Owners Insight

"Ryan Place has been my home for twenty years, and I have made the emotional decision to sell having moved out of the county. There was so much which attracted me to the flat initially, and remain relevant today. The top floor corner position with no one above, and private garage were main points of attraction for me, whilst so many amenities are within a short walk or cycle.

I am able to offer the flat free of a chain, and I am sure the next owner will receive as much enjoyment as I have from their new home."
