Park Hill Road, Torquay

Occupying possibly one of the finest marine locations in Torbay this spacious TOWN HOUSE offers a quite breathtaking direct Yacht Marina and harbour panorama, poised above the marine activity of the bustling harbour entrance and yacht anchorage. Set in a select gated development of just 10 quality homes the property affords generous living space with most of the principal rooms facing seaward and enjoying the beautiful sea and coastal views.  The property provides accommodation arranged over three levels offering THREE DOUBLE BEDROOMS (all with en-suite facilities) complimented with two reception rooms, a balcony and private garden, with a garage and additional parking further attributes of this wonderful home. 

'The Riviera' is enviably tucked back from the hustle and bustle in a peaceful setting yet just a short saunter from the vibrant waterside bars, restaurants, Princess Theatre and array of leisure activities.

OWNERS INSIGHT

"Torquay has been a second home to the family for more than 40 years. Number 6 The Riviera has been a much loved and cared for family ‘home away from home’ since 1999, when we were among the first to take up residence when the development launched. The panoramic views of the harbour, out across the English Riviera and its enchanting sunsets or stormy seas beyond are as breathtaking now as they ever were- you could never tire of them. As well as these, we will miss waking to the sounds of seagulls, barbecues in the garden with family and friends, skimming stones and dips in the bay at Beacon Cove, the glimpses of our boat in the marina and the short stroll, from our elevated vantage point above the town, to our favourite seafood restaurant, Number 7."
