SITUATION Located in the heart of the English Riviera famed for its mild climate and crystal clear waters interspersed with palm fringed sandy beaches. This grand anchorage was favoured by the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars and Torquay soon benefited from their presence as smart 'lodging houses' which were built to accommodate the officers.
 
With a mild south-facing aspect, miles of sandy beaches large marina, palm trees and subtropical gardens, elegant Georgian terraces it is no surprise that the area is known as The English Riviera. With its myriad of bars and restaurants (one with Michelin-starred cuisine), the seafront remains the most attractive area. Sunnyhill stands in a quiet residential area yet within an easy stroll from the harbour and Marina. The new owner of this fine apartment will not go hungry or thirsty as the ever popular Wellswood village with its bistro restaurants, local pub and small parade of shops is also within sensible walking distance. DESCRIPTION Stags are truly delighted to offer this highly unusual yet desperately attractive, gracious apartment to the open market. Forming a significant part of this gated small development of luxury apartments and mews style houses all set in stunning communal grounds, this beautifully presented and maintained four bedroom apartment extends to in excess of 1880 square feet. It occupies the entire top floor, and enjoys spectacular views over Tor Bay. Lateral space like this really doesn't exist and was only able to be created by the architect cleverly and seamlessly stitching together part of a detached Victorian Villa built in 1864 and believed to be the former home of Admiral Sir Thomas M. C. Symonds (Commander in Chief at Devonport in 1875 and Admiral of the Fleet GCB in 1880). It has also been frequently used as a scene in some Agatha Christies novels, with a modern extension. Those that want secure, spacious accommodation need to look no further. ACCOMMODATION This apartment boasts extensive living accommodation and many period features usually associated with the bygone age, including lofty ceiling heights, moulded cornice work and window shutters, yet stylishly re-furbished to a contemporary specification. This ideal splendid apartment is perfect for those seeking a character home yet with few maintenance or security worries.
 
A short flight of stairs leads from the entrance door and smart communal parts sweeping to the galleried dining hall, providing a terribly grand entrance. In front of you is the drawing room, a significant space which would embarrass homes three times the price. Picture windows bathe the interior in natural light and allow its residents far reaching views across the bay and down the wooded slopes of the Warberrys. French windows give access to the balcony and allow a gentle breeze on balmy evenings. Beyond this is the kitchen - breakfast room, a magnificent room with a fine triple aspect and access out onto a balcony. As you would imagine from a luxury apartment there is no shortage of bells and whistles some of which are fully integrated.
 
There are three or even four bedrooms, depending on your accommodation needs. One of the many unique features of this truly fine apartment is the flexibility the accommodation offers. To illustrate the point the master suite can either have its own exclusive en suite or be shared jack and jill style with the other bedrooms. The second bedroom also has its own en suite facilities. The fourth bedroom makes a great home office or study, although in the past has been used as a dressing room. GARDEN & GROUNDS In addition to the three balconies this apartment has exclusive use of the extensive communal grounds measuring in excess of an acre and beautifully maintained. There are terraced areas for enjoyment and entertaining.
