About this home

Stunning COASTAL APARTMENT enjoying breath-taking SEA VIEWS across Tor Bay and the surrounding woodland from this exceptional third-floor apartment, located within the highly regarded Lyncombe Crescent development. The principal living room, kitchen, and a deep, full-width SOUTHERLY FACING BALCONY all capture the impressive outlook. Set in beautifully maintained communal gardens with a residents' swimming pool, Lyncombe Crescent occupies a commanding position atop the prestigious Lincombes hillside, one of Torquay’s most sought-after residential areas. Just above Torquay's vibrant harbour, marina, and seafront, the location offers both serenity and convenience. In the opposite direction lies Wellswood, known for its village-like charm, featuring a post office, popular pub, delicatessen, excellent primary school, and the well-supported St Matthias Church. Picturesque walks through the scenic Ilsham Valley, Meadfoot Beach and Daddyhole Plain link Wellswood to the harbour.

EPC Rating: C OWNERS INSIGHT "I relocated to Torquay 20 years ago for business, and after viewing Lyncombe Crescent, I knew this was the apartment for me. The spectacular sea views that take in all of Tor Bay, along with the large private terrace, instantly captured my heart. It’s the perfect place to relax during the day or enjoy the stunning sunsets in the evening. A real bonus has been the double garage, conveniently located on the upper-level car park, right next to the lift — ideal for easy access, especially when bringing in shopping or luggage. I’ve spent 20 happy years living here, and it has truly felt like home. Now, I’ve made the decision to move closer to family, but I leave with many fond memories and great appreciation for this beautiful apartment and its unbeatable setting."
