About this home
This spacious and beautifully maintained GROUND FLOOR APARTMENT, offering generous and well proportioned accommodation throughout. Forming Part of a select purpose built development on the lower slopes of the Livermead Hillside. With a sea glimpse towards Torre Abbey Sands and beyond from the large bay and private balcony. Sunleigh presents a lifestyle in the heart of Torbay, enviably placed just a short saunter from Livermead's local beach, neighbouring Corbyn Head and flagship Torre Abbey Sands with the vibrant waterside cafe bars, restaurants, Marina and Princess Theatre just beyond. The picturesque Cockington Country Park which covers circa 460 acres of meadows, lakes and woodland is equally accessible. OWNERS INSIGHT "We moved to North Devon in 2005 but needed a base in Torquay and after a lengthy search we found 3 Sunleigh. It was a perfect location for walking to Cockington and the Sea front. The apartment is spacious and light with level access from the car park and has been ideal for us and the family when they came to stay. It benefits from being a small complex of just 9 residential apartments, the occupants being friendly and caring. For health reasons we are reluctantly selling and will miss Sunleigh and its very special residents."
