One of the finest views over the English Riviera is encompassed from this EXCEPTIONAL MARINE TOWN HOUSE forming part of a select development perched on the hillside overlooking Torquay s sheltered harbour and yacht marina. Set elevated in its plot behind secure electric gates, the property affords generous living space arranged over four levels being thoughtfully planned with the reception rooms opening onto a private garden and balcony which both face a westerly aspect taking full advantage of the breath taking sea views.

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

"Having relocated back to Torquay after many years away, we brought 3 The Rivera having fell in love with where it was, the amazing views of the Marina, beach and costal outlook! Also, the added security benefit of living in a gated development. It took nearly a year to renovate, we moved in late 2019 and have enjoyed every minute of living there ! But it s time to downsize, the house is just too big for us, our daughter is off to university soon and we just don t need a house of this size anymore ! We will be sad to sell but we have had 6 lovely years of living at 3 The Rivera and I hope who ever we sell to will love it as much as we have!"
