EPC Rating: D OWNER INSIGHT As an original Owner I have enjoyed this delightful flat for over 50 years. The view over the bay is an ever changing and engaging scene. The flat is so easy, comfortable and warm to live in and has been a great joy. The spacious lounge allows plenty of room to socialise especially for events like the August firework displays immediately opposite on Corbyn Head. The gardens include the ‘Circle’ stone seating for Owners to meet. A great benefit almost unique in Torquay, is the flat access to bus and train services within less than 5 minutes walk, enabling many journeys to be car free. The nearby Walnut Road shops, with a C0-0P, wonderful butcher and Post Office add to its advantages. It's a lovely 25 minute walk into Torquay right by the sea, always feels like being on holiday! Halfway to Torquay there are restaurants, so a lovely evening stroll to my favourite, Bistrot Pierre, is a bonus as is the Theatre. The Company has a strong and effective Board of Directors and good reserves. STEP INSIDE Two steps lead to a security operated communal entrance from where a lift and stairs rise to the first floor.
