Dunboyne Court, St Marychurch Road, Torquay

Positioned on the first floor of this smart and well regarded modern retirement development, Flat 22 is a bright and spacious two bedroom apartment designed for comfortable, independent living with the reassurance of on-site support if and when required.

Enjoying a sunny corner position with open views, this welcoming apartment offers approximately 68.9 sq. M. / 741.9 sq. Ft. Of well planned accommodation with a light and airy feel throughout. The layout is practical, easy to manage and thoughtfully arranged for day to day convenience.

A welcoming entrance hall gives access to all rooms and provides useful space for coats, shoes and storage. The main sitting/dining room is a particularly pleasing room with plenty of space for both lounge and dining furniture, creating a sociable main living area. Doors open onto a private balcony, offering a lovely place to sit out, enjoy the fresh air and make the most of the natural light.

The kitchen sits just off the living space and is well proportioned, fitted with a good range of units, ample worktop space and everything positioned for ease and convenience.

Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles. The principal bedroom is a good size and enjoys access to the Jack and Jill en suite, making it an ideal main bedroom with a peaceful and private feel. Bedroom two is another generous double and would work equally well for guests, hobbies or as an additional sitting room if preferred. The Jack and Jill shower room is accessed from both bedrooms and is fitted with a shower, WC and basin, all designed with practicality and ease of use in mind.

Dunboyne Court is a development that has clearly been designed to offer much more than just an apartment. Residents can enjoy a strong sense of community alongside independent living, with an excellent range of communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, restaurant, activity/television room, mobile hairdressing service, communal roof terrace, guest suite, buggy store and attractive communal gardens. Staff are available 24 hours a day, emergency call assistance is in place, and additional care can be arranged if required, giving owners genuine flexibility and peace of mind.

Outside, the development is approached via secure entrance doors leading into a welcoming reception area and lobby. There are communal gardens for residents to enjoy, mainly laid to lawn with mature planting and seating areas, together with a communal roof terrace accessed from the third floor. Parking is available subject to availability.

All in all, this is a spacious and well positioned apartment within a development that offers real reassurance, a sociable environment and an excellent level of convenience for day to day living.

Location

The location is another major strength. Dunboyne Court is set in a particularly convenient part of Torquay, just a short, level walk from St Marychurch precinct, one of the area’s most established and popular local centres. St Marychurch has a genuine village feel and is known for its pedestrianised shopping area, independent businesses, everyday amenities, churches, cafés and places to sit and watch the world go by. It remains one of Torquay’s best known neighbourhood hubs, giving residents the benefit of being able to get out and about easily without needing to rely heavily on the car. Nearby Plainmoor adds to the convenience with further independent traders and a Lidl supermarket close at hand. The area also places residents within easy reach of Cary Park and the wider Babbacombe area, while Babbacombe Downs - famed for its sweeping sea views and coastal setting - is also close by. This part of Torquay is especially appealing for buyers wanting a more relaxed pace of life without feeling cut off, with local bus services and wider links into Torquay town centre and the seafront readily accessible
