Set within an elegant Grade II listed period residence believed to date from 1853, this beautifully proportioned two-bedroom second-floor apartment occupies an enviable position within a sweeping crescent in the highly regarded Lincombe Conservation Area. Combining generous accommodation with period character, the property also benefits from gas central heating, attractive sea views and access to landscaped communal gardens.

The accommodation is approached via a welcoming entrance hallway with a central heating radiator and useful space for coats and outdoor clothing.

A particular highlight is the impressive living room, where high ceilings and generous proportions create a wonderful sense of space. Attractive multi-pane Sash windows are set within deep recessed surrounds, drawing in excellent natural light whilst framing delightful views towards the sea. A traditional brass chandelier-style light fitting complements the character of the room, while the spacious proportions comfortably accommodate both the living and dining areas. The chimney breast forms an attractive focal point and incorporates an original cast-iron fireplace, complemented by decorative tiled inserts. The fireplace is retained as a character feature and is not currently in use. The fireplace is retained as a character feature and is not currently in use.

Adjoining the living room is the kitchen, fitted with a coordinated range of wall and base units beneath work surfaces, complemented by tiled splashbacks and a composite sink. The kitchen is equipped with a washing machine, electric cooker with extractor hood and fridge, all of which can be included in the sale at no additional cost if required by the purchaser.

There are two well-proportioned double bedrooms. The front bedroom enjoys a traditional sash window with particularly appealing sea views, while the second double bedroom is positioned at the rear and also features a traditional sash window. Further period character is provided by a decorative cast-iron fireplace, again believed to date from the original construction of the building.

Serving the accommodation is a spacious four-piece bathroom with tiled walls. The suite comprises a bath, separate enclosed shower with mains-fed shower, low-level WC and a vanity unit incorporating a wash basin, worktop and useful storage beneath.

Externally, residents have the use of an attractively landscaped communal garden to the front of the building, providing a pleasant setting in which to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

The location is another significant attraction. The popular village of Wellswood, with its excellent selection of independent shops, cafés and everyday amenities, is within comfortable walking distance, while Torquay's harbourside, marina and town centre are also readily accessible. Meadfoot Beach and picturesque coastal walks are close to hand, making this an appealing home for those seeking character accommodation in one of Torquay's most desirable residential areas.
