This SUBSTATIAL SEMI-DETACHED RESIDENCE is arranged as FOUR SELF-CONTAINED FLATS, with the upper rear levels enjoying OPEN SEA VIEWS of Tor Bay. Ideally positioned just one road back from Marine Parade and Preston Sands Promenade, the property occupies a highly convenient and sought-after coastal setting. Owned by our client’s family for approximately 25 years, the building was historically operated, and retains commercial status as owners’ accommodation with three holiday flats and a chalet (the garden studio). Although it has not traded in recent years, it has been more recently utilised for extended family living. The property now presents an excellent opportunity to re-establish holiday accommodation, or alternatively to explore conversion to residential dwellings, subject to the necessary consents and confirmation of residential status.
The location is particularly appealing, offering virtually level access to the amenities of Preston and Paignton, with attractive green spaces and beaches quite literally on the doorstep. Preston Sands lies just beyond the adjoining railway line, while Paignton Harbour can be reached by a pleasant stroll along the promenade. The neighbouring towns of Torquay and Brixham further enhance the area, both providing excellent marina and leisure facilities.
During the Covid pandemic, our mum made the decision to stop trading, and since then the building has been enjoyed privately by family and friends.
Our mum was always incredibly proud of her home. While we fully appreciate that new owners will bring their own ideas and may wish to redesign or remodel to suit their needs, Seascape offers wonderful potential to do just that. Above all, our parents loved the location, the sea views never failed to captivate them, and they cherished being so close to the beach and the many local amenities.”
Behind the studio is a lean-to storage shed with doors at either end. An external fire escape provides access to both the first and second floor levels. To the front of the property is a raised paved patio area.
UTILITIES & HEATING: Flat 1 (owners) is the only flat with gas central heating, flats 2, 3 and 4 have electric heating. There is a communal hot water tank tank located in flat 2. Electric is currently on two meters which are shared between the flats and not individually metered. Water is on one meter.
BROADBAND & MOBILE: We are advised that Standard & Superfast Broadband is available in the area via Openreach, with mobile signal good outdoor and in-home with EE, good outdoor with O2, good outdoor and variable in-door with Three and Vodafone (according to the Ofcom website).
