A particularly important feature of the property is its two separate private sun terraces.

Positioned on opposite sides of the apartment the east and west terraces are accessed independently from the main hallway and provide contrasting spaces in which to enjoy the setting throughout the day. Both take in attractive surrounding and coastal views, including outlooks towards Paignton and Brixham.

The apartment also benefits from two allocated spaces within the secure underground car park accessed through electronically operated gates. A useful double storage cupboard with lighting is positioned within the parking area while both lift and stair access connect the parking level with the apartments above.

This is a particularly unusual opportunity for buyers who want the proportions of a substantial house without the maintenance responsibilities associated with a large detached property.

As the larger of only two penthouse apartments within Marine Palms the property has considerable presence. Its origins as two separate apartments have resulted in unusually generous accommodation including two substantial reception rooms, four bedrooms, four bath or shower rooms and excellent storage.

The two private terraces, coastal outlook, secure underground parking for two vehicles, private coded lift access and high level of specification further distinguish the property.

It would be particularly well suited to buyers downsizing from a sizeable family home who are unwilling to compromise on space, those seeking a prestigious main residence by the coast or purchasers wanting a secure second home within walking distance of Torquay's seafront and harbour.
