Flat for sale in Bedford Road, Torquay TQ1

Occupying a prime position this beautifully presented second/top floor flat presents a lifestyle as much as a stylish home. Forming part of Sefton Court, a development of just nine individual properties, the property has been tastefully refurbished by our client to include upgraded kitchen and shower room, and gas central heating system. A particular attribute is permitted holiday letting, therefore ideally suited to both owner occupiers or an investment opportunity.

Set in one of Torquay’s most sought-after locations, just a stones throw away from the picturesque Babbacombe Downs with shingle beaches of Oddicombe and Babbacombe below. A wide selection of amenities and leisure activities are a matter of minutes from the property, including Babbacombe Theatre, Cary Parks, wide choice of shops, pubs and eateries, and the stunning Babbacombe Downs with the renowned funicular railway taking passengers down to Oddicombe Beach.

EPC Rating: C

Owner Insight

"Sefton Court was bought initially as a holiday let investment and we enjoyed a high occupancy level being in the heart of Babbacombe and so close to the Downs and beaches. More latterly it has been home to our mum, but with her decision to move closer to us in Brixham it makes sense to invest on the other side of the bay.

Sefton Court is a great development, professionally managed and the benefit of parking. We renovated the flat, upgrading the shower room, kitchen, and heating system so new owners will have little worries, and hopefully just enjoy the lifestyle."
