Property description
OWNER'S INSIGHT "Collingwood provides an easy lifestyle, and there was so much which attracted us to the apartment and remain key attributes.
Entrance on the ground floor level is convenient and comfortable, with no need to use the lift or stairs. Once inside it has the feeling of being first floor, with the main rooms and veranda elevated above the communal gardens, which are easily accessed by our own private staircase.
Being in a tranquil area, yet it's just a short walk to the hustle and bustle of bars, restaurants and the wide range of amenities that Torquay has to offer. No worries about finding parking or driving after a night out. The lovely nature walks on our doorstep give us the best of both worlds.
No matter the weather, the sea views from our French doors over the beautiful gardens never fail to lift the spirits, and it's very special to enjoy an early morning coffee or sundowners on the veranda, overlooking this stunning bay.
We would not be selling the apartment if our life was not taking us outside Devon, and we are fortunate to be able to sell chain free."
