Relax and soak up the views with lofty Torquay apartment

Set in a striking coastal location on Torquay's exclusive Ilsham Marine Drive, this stunning apartment forms part of an iconic development commanding dramatic sea views that may well take your breath away from its third floor position across Tor Bay with Meadfoot beach in the foreground.
Extensive landscaped and wooded grounds extend to around seven acres, affording a selection of tranquil seating areas for residents and their visitors’ enjoyment.


Kilmorie is enviably positioned close to the scenic Ilsham Valley leading to the parade of shops and restaurants in Wellswood 'village', whilst Torquay's harbour, yachting marina and seafront are equally accessible within a few miles from the property.
The design affords an open plan principal room and principal bedroom commanding full-width picture windows encapsulating the sea and stretching coastline of Tor Bay, and inner hall, bathroom and second bedroom presenting a suite for guests enjoying a view over parts of the wooded grounds.
The apartment asks for a £370,000 leasehold and more details are available from the agents, John Lake.
From the secure communal entrance, lift or stair approach rises to the third floor from where an oak panelled front door opens to the entrance lobby with cupboard housing the fuse board and meter.


And inner door opens to the impressive open-plan living space, which features full-width picture windows encapsulating the dramatic views over the communal gardens and across Tor Bay stretching from Brixham's Berry Head around the coastline to Meadfoot beach in the foreground.
A breakfast bar separates the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of white high-gloss flush units with brushed steel handles and granite effect work tops with mosaic tiled splash backs and inset sink unit.
A built-in oven and microwave, ceramic hob with filter hood over, integrated dishwasher, washing machine and fridge/freezer are all in the kitchen. There is a picture window to the rear, enjoying a beautiful green outlook, a walk-in storage cupboard with coat hooks and airing cupboard beyond housing the immersion cylinder and an obscure glazed window.
The principal bedroom has full width picture windows enjoying the dramatic sea views. A range of fitted furniture comprises a bank of wardrobes and matching additional wardrobe and dressing table. There is an en-suite with double shower with body spray and rain head, wash basin and WC with concealed cistern. There are fully tiled walls and floor, a shaver point and downlighters. An inner hall with storage cupboards lead off the reception room, providing a guest suite.


Bedroom 2 has a bank of fitted wardrobes and a window to the rear overlooking parts of the grounds of Kilmorie. The bathroom has a double ended bath with shower attachment tap, wash basin and WC. There are fully tiled walls and floor, shaver point and obscure glazed window.
The extensive communal grounds of Kilmorie are beautifully tended with woodland pathways and a selection of patio and seating areas from where residents can enjoy the attractive views.
An observatory set elevated in the grounds provides a particularly relaxing and tranquil space. A secluded “hidden garden” is located on the seaward side of Ilsham Marine Drive. This area is enclosed by a stone wall and is ideal for summer
barbecues/entertaining.
The owners said: “We fell in love with Kilmorie as soon as we walked through the door and were captivated by the dramatic sea view. We were searching for a holiday home and it just ticked all the boxes, a beautiful apartment which we could lock and leave without worries.”
