Commercial property for sale in Cliff Road, Paignton TQ4

Paignton is situated at the very heart of Torbay – a sheltered, natural harbour of immense beauty, made up of the three towns of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham. Torbay was affectionately labelled the English Riviera in Victorian times where its sunny climate, breathtaking views, and long safe sandy beaches were likened and compared to those of the French and Italian Rivieras. Today, Torbay is still a very popular and attractive place to live with micro-locations (such as this opportunity) boasting incredible marine and coastal views from elevated positions. 26 Cliff Road is situated in the Roundham area of Paignton, enviably positioned between the much regenerated (but still quaint) Paignton Harbour and the stunning long sandy beaches of Goodrington. The property immediately fronts onto the public memorial gardens and a few steps away from Roundham Head. The property has spectacular views to the northwest toward Torquay, taking in much of Paignton seafront.

The beautiful and family friendly Goodrington Sands is immensely popular and easily accessible via walks from Roundham Gardens. Alternatively, in the opposite direction Paignton’s vibrant and popular harbour, seafront and pier are a short walk away. Roundham is an incredibly convenient place to live, with first class beaches and water sports on the doorstep, the Southwest Coast path passing immediately in front of the property but still with access to all expected large town amenities nearby. Paignton is situated between the resort town of Torquay and the beautiful fishing port of Brixham.

Access to the A380 gives almost continuous dual carriageway access from Paignton to the M5 and motorway network at Exeter (18 miles). Exeter also boats an international airport. Mainline railway connects are from Newton Abbot with branch connections and daily direct services from Paignton itself.

26 Cliff Road presents an extensive and versatile period property which has been home to the Paignton Sea Anglers Association since 1986. The building comprises a semi-detached two storey property in an elevated position on a level plot. The building is arranged as a private members club with an open plan bar, lounge, function room and leisure space on the first floor and office and storage space on the ground floor. Externally the property benefits from a private terrace area, with a private single garage nearby, and primary parking on-road or in the neighbouring Torbay Council Car Park. It is envisaged that purchasers for the property would be motivated to either continue the commercial use of the property or create a spectacular coastal residence/ residences in a high value and stunningly beautiful location.
