Spa Villa, Wellswood, Torquay TQ1

Description

Situated within the exclusive Spa Villa development on the prestigious wooded slopes of the Warberries, this impressive ground floor apartment offers beautifully appointed accommodation in one of Torquay's most sought after residential locations. Forming part of a select collection of just nine luxury homes, the property combines contemporary design, privacy and security with an enviable coastal setting.

This chain-free apartment is presented to a high level of quality throughout, with a well-planned interior designed for both comfort and practicality. At the heart of the home is a striking open plan living space, beautifully light and airy. This space opens directly onto an extensive private south-facing terrace. This provides an excellent space for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply relaxing in peaceful surroundings. There are two generous double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en-suite, together with a separate bathroom and a useful utility cupboard.

Approached via electric gates, Spa Villa provides a secure and private environment. This apartment enjoys the rare advantage of a double parking bay positioned directly opposite the terrace. The property further benefits from its own private entrance, enhancing the sense of independence more often associated with a house than an apartment.

Despite its peaceful setting, the apartment is exceptionally well placed for access to Torquay's harbourside, town centre and yacht marina, reached conveniently via a pedestrian gate from the lower garden. The marina, waterfront restaurants, bars, shopping and promenade all contribute to the vibrant coastal lifestyle on offer. Nearby Wellswood adds further appeal, with its charming village atmosphere and selection of local shops, eateries, pubs, church and primary school.
