3 bed maisonette for sale

Torbay Road, Rayscroft Torbay Road TQ2

New to the market is this beautifully presented maisonette forming the larger portion of Rayscroft, a striking 1930s residence comprising just two dwellings. Arranged over the ground floor and two upper levels, this is a substantial and versatile home that delivers the proportions of a house with the practicality of apartment living.

Positioned on Torbay Road, the location is exceptional - just moments from the seafront, a short stroll to Abbey Sands, the harbour and marina, and perfectly placed for those who want the coastline quite literally on their doorstep.

The property is approached via a generous driveway providing ample parking and access to your own private garage - a rare advantage in this location. To the rear, a private garden enjoys a sunny aspect, creating an ideal outdoor retreat for entertaining, relaxing or dining al fresco.

An entrance vestibule, currently utilised as a practical laundry space, leads into a welcoming hallway with understairs storage and cloakroom area. From here, steps rise to the principal floor where the accommodation opens up beautifully. A modern shower room features a double-width walk-in enclosure, while the landing is spacious and finished with hardwood flooring.

The kitchen/dining room is a standout space - contemporary in design with sea views towards Corbyn Head. Fitted with a Bosch oven and combi microwave, large induction hob with extractor, twin stainless-steel sinks and space for a dishwasher and generous dining table, it is both functional and sociable.

The bay-windowed lounge enjoys excellent proportions, natural light and a feature fireplace, creating a superb main reception room. A generous double bedroom with sliding doors leads directly onto a private rear terrace and benefits from its own en-suite shower room. A second spacious double bedroom completes the first-floor layout.

From the landing, stairs rise to the top floor - a bright and expansive room with large Velux windows framing far-reaching sea views across Corbyn Head and the seafront. This versatile space could serve as a further bedroom, additional lounge, studio or home office, and includes excellent built-in storage.

Gas central heating runs throughout.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a sizeable coastal home in a prime position - ideal for buyers seeking their first home, a lock-and-leave coastal base, or simply more space and flexibility than a typical apartment offers.

Location

Set in one of Torquay’s most enviable coastal positions, this home places you right in the heart of the English Riviera lifestyle. Step outside and you are moments from Torre Abbey Sands, a long, sandy beach with cafés, watersports and a vibrant promenade that stretches along the bay - perfect for morning coffee walks, sunset strolls or a quick dip in the sea.

The location is wonderfully walkable. A gentle stroll along the seafront takes you to Torquay Harbour and Marina where you’ll find an excellent choice of waterside restaurants, cocktail bars and independent cafés - ideal for relaxed lunches or evening dining with a view. Nearby favourites include beachside cafés around Abbey Sands, along with the Grand Hotel and surrounding terrace bars that create a real holiday feel all year round.

For those who enjoy an active lifestyle, this stretch of coastline is a dream - flat promenade walks for runners and cyclists, access to the South West Coast Path, and scenic routes towards Corbyn Head, Livermead and beyond. Whether it’s early morning runs, dog walks or weekend sea swims, everything is literally on your doorstep.

Day-to-day convenience is equally strong. Local shops, cafés, gyms and leisure facilities are close by, with Torquay town centre and the harbour-side amenities all within easy walking distance - meaning you can genuinely leave the car at home.
Transport links are excellent for a coastal location. Torquay Railway Station sits just along the seafront, offering direct services towards Exeter and onward connections to London, making this an ideal base for commuters or second-home owners. Regular bus routes run along Torbay Road connecting Paignton, Brixham and the wider bay, while road links quickly join the A380 for Exeter, the M5 and beyond.

In short, this is a true “walk-to-everything” address - a lifestyle setting where the beach, restaurants, transport and coastal scenery all combine to create one of Torquay’s most desirable everyday locations
