Description

Occupying a desirable position within the well-regarded St Francis development, this spacious two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers well-planned accommodation and pleasant open views across The Warberries hillside and Torwood Gardens below. Forming one of just six apartments within this purpose-built 1970s development, the property benefits from generous storage, a private garage, and parking to the rear.

Ideally located between Meadfoot Beach and Torquay's picturesque harbourside, the apartment is perfectly placed for access to the marina, waterside dining, and the town's array of leisure amenities. This is an ideal setting for those looking to embrace the best of coastal living in a well-maintained and established development.

Entrance

Access to the property is gained via a set of steps leading down from the roadside to a well-maintained communal entrance, complete with an intercom entry system for added security. Once inside, further stairs rise to the first floor where the apartment’s private entrance is located.

Adjacent to the apartment entrance is a lockable external storage cupboard, providing convenient space for the utility meters and consumer unit.

Upon entering the apartment, the hallway features a wall-mounted telephone intercom system and doors leading to all principal rooms. The hallway also benefits from four built-in storage cupboards, offering excellent storage capacity; one of which houses the hot water cylinder.

Living Room & Balcony

The living room is generous in proportion, providing a comfortable and versatile space. Natural light fills the room through a double-glazed window, enjoying an attractive outlook towards the Warberries hillside. A radiator is conveniently positioned beneath the window for efficient heating. A double-glazed door opens directly onto the property’s private balcony, which offers the same lovely elevated views, an ideal spot to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Kitchen

The kitchen is fitted with a range of matching wall and base units complemented by roll-edge work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. A stainless-steel sink and drainer is positioned beneath a double-glazed window enjoying a front aspect outlook, allowing ample natural light. The gas boiler is neatly concealed within matching cabinetry. There is under-counter space for a washing machine, provision for a freestanding fridge/freezer, and a built-in pantry cupboard, providing additional and practical storage options.

Bedrooms

Both bedrooms are well-proportioned double rooms, with the principal bedroom benefitting from an extensive range of integrated wardrobes, including over-bed storage, a built-in wardrobe, and a built-in dressing table, offering an abundance of storage and functionality. A double-glazed window allows natural light to fill the space and enjoys pleasant views of the surrounding area, with a radiator beneath. The second bedroom is also of good size and features both an integrated wardrobe and a built-in wardrobe with hanging rail, providing excellent storage solutions. A double-glazed front-facing window with a radiator below completes the room.

Bathroom and WC

The apartment benefits from a separate bathroom and WC, both featuring part-tiled walls and obscured double-glazed windows, allowing natural light while maintaining privacy. The bathroom is fitted with a panelled bath, a pedestal wash basin, and a heated towel rail.

Garage

The apartment is complemented by a single garage, with parking available directly in front, providing convenient access. The garage is fitted with lighting, making it practical for vehicle storage and general use.
