About this home

Occupying an enviable position within the sought after Warberries, this beautifully presented TWO BEDROOM MAISONETTE offers a wonderful combination of space, privacy and OPEN VIEWS, complemented by the rare benefit of a shared DOUBLE GARAGE with space for one vehicle. The accommodation is well proportioned throughout, with windows positioned to make the most of the outlook and fill the principal rooms with natural light, while the two bedrooms offer flexibility for guests or a home office. Outside, residents enjoy beautifully maintained communal gardens that wind throughout the development, providing a lovely outdoor backdrop without the burden of upkeep. The Warberries is one of Torquay's most established and leafy residential pockets, rising above the town in a peaceful, elevated setting while remaining within easy reach of Torquay's harbourside, marina and town centre. Pleasant walks lead down through Warberry Copse towards the seafront and Rock Walk, with local schools, shops, cafes and churches close by, along with Torquay mainline railway station and principal bus routes for convenient onward travel. OWNER INSIGHT "When we first came to live in Torquay, we had our hearts set on a house, but it simply wasn't within our price range at the time. Choosing this property instead turned out to be a compromise we made easily, as it has given us the feel of two storey living with a genuinely good amount of space, all in a wonderful location. It has always felt far more spacious than most apartments we looked at, and one of the real luxuries has been never having to lift a finger for garden maintenance, as it's all taken care of within the service charge. Our neighbours have been lovely throughout our time here, and it has always felt like a safe and secure place to call home. The double garage is something we know we will miss when we move on, but with plans to relocate back to our roots, it feels like the right time for us to pass this lovely home on to its next owners." STEP INSIDE A sloped and stepped approach leads up to the apartment, with a secure communal entrance and stepped approach continuing to the first floor where a private front door opens to the RECEPTION HALL with understairs cupboard. The spacious SITTING/DINING ROOM enjoys three sash windows overlooking the communal gardens towards Torquay, feature fireplace housing an electric fire. The KITCHEN is fitted with a range of wood effect fronted units and marble effect work tops with inset sink, built-in electric oven, four ring electric hob, integrated fridge/freezer and provisions for washing machine. Part tiled walls and window. A downstairs CLOAKROOM completes the ground floor accommodation. STEP UPSTAIRS From the reception hall stairs rise to the first floor landing with storage cupboard. There are TWO DOUBLE BEDROOMS, with the principal bedroom benefiting from a built-in double wardrobe and both rooms having windows overlooking the communal gardens and enjoying open views over Torquay. The BATHROOM has a suite of panelled bath with electric shower over, wash basin set in vanity unit with cupboards beneath and WC. Part tiling to walls, heated towel rail, tiled effect flooring and window. STEP OUTSIDE The development benefits from two entrances, with this particular apartment featuring a shared DOUBLE GARAGE to the rear with space for one vehicle. Hillsborough enjoys large, well tended wrap around communal gardens, mainly laid to gently sloping lawns for the enjoyment of all residents. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ACCESS: Stepped approach.
