Property of the Week
We take an unorthodox turn for the latest Property of the Week, a former haven for sea anglers that is on the market with John Lake Estate Agents for £550,000.
Occupying one of Torbay’s prime waterfront positions set above Fairy Cove and Paignton Harbour with the expanse of Torbay beyond, Ravenswood presents an extensive and versatile period property which has been home to the Paignton Sea Anglers Association since 1986.
The building features an open plan members bar, lounge, function room and leisure space to the first floor taking full advantage of the dramatic sea views.
A private terrace provides space for bench seating outside, with a private single garage nearby, and primary parking on-road or the neighbouring Torbay Council operated car park.
The property adjoins public memorial gardens, a pebble's throw from with Roundham Head, and the picturesque South West Coast Path heading north toward Paignton Beach and Torquay, or south toward Goodrington Sands and Brixham. Set in the very heart of the English Riviera, a wide range of amenities, leisure activities, and beautiful scenery are all easily accessible.
SELLERS INSIGHT: “We acquired the building derelict off Torbay Council back in 1986, which we understand had previously been residential flats and sadly in severe disrepair. We transformed it into a vibrant club, which at one point had nearly one thousand members.
“Although our club continues to enjoy a strong core membership, we no longer have the need for a building of this size.
“It has been a good home for Paignton Sea Anglers, and hopefully we have done our part in its history in preserving and utilising such a lovely building.
“We hope whatever its next use, it will continue to play a prominent part in the life around Paignton Harbour.”
