in the generous living room bring the sea view inside and flood the apartment
with light. In addition, this stunning property briefly consists of an elegant
spacious entrance hall, two well proportioned bedrooms, a bathroom en - suite
and a further shower room, a separate galley kitchen and very ample fitted
storage throughout.
Next door to The Royal Torbay Yacht Club, this is the perfect property for a
boat owner, there are two beaches within 10 minutes’ walk and numerous
restaurants, cafes, bars and shops around the harbours and along the seafront.
EPC Rating: C
**Owner Insight**
"There are only a handful of harbour - side apartments and Royal Marina Court is
by far the most impressive. The only remaining classic Victorian terrace
intact on the seafront, next door to the Royal Torbay Yacht Club, facing due
south, overlooking Torbay and harbour. A few doors down Beacon Terrace are two
of the best restaurants in Torbay and the hustle and bustle of Torquay Town
Centre is kept perfectly at arm’s length, just around the corner at the bottom
of the hill.
A few steps from the front door take you down to slipway and harbour and I
kept both a sailing boat and speedboat on the marina. Boat users could not
have a better location and the interest (and amusement) afforded by watching
comings and goings in the harbour is better than anything on TV!"
