SITUATION AND DESCRPTION
This fabulous apartment forms part of the landmark development of Shirley Towers, standing in a prominent position overlooking Torquay's pretty harbour with commanding views out to sea from the panoramic windows. You will not tire of watching the cormorants diving for breakfast or the fishing boats as they head out to sea for their catch as there's no grander spot for your morning coffee. The property is perfectly situated to enjoy the coastal lifestyle that is available in the area.
Torquay is the 'jewel in the crown' of The English Riviera, offering a wonderful quality of life for its residents. Whether you choose to relax on one of the nine beaches within the bay, some beautiful and secluded, or sail from the international deep water marina situated in the busy harbour where numerous events take place throughout the year, including internationally renowned yacht races and the highly charged power boat championships. Torquay offers a mild climate and a comprehensive range of shopping, eating and educational facilities.
Torquay has mainline railway links to London Paddington and the cathedral city of Exeter is located within a commutable distance thanks to the new South Devon Highway. Regional airports at both Plymouth and Exeter mean the whole country and the continent beyond are within easy reach.
