Skyline Penthouse
Hesketh Crescent, Torquay is seen as an example of location and regency architecture style at its very best. It would be difficult to find anywhere
in England that can better it for location, views and style.
At the turn of the century the crescent comprised of private houses owned by professionals and gentry. Now most of the crescent is occupied
by the prestigious Osborne Hotel and private apartments and has been Grade II listed.
‘Skyline Penthouse’, as the name suggests, sits on the top floor of one of the few private apartment buildings. The views from the front aspect
are quite exceptional, looking directly out to sea to Shag Rock and to Thatcher Rock to the left side. The view continues around right to Berry
Head and the coastline.
The property is ideal as a holiday home or for commercial letting, or alternatively as a fine residence in which to reside. Maintained and upgraded
to a high standard the 3 bedroom accommodation is both attractive and comfortable. It is worth mentioning that for those seeking a special
location, the nearby Osborne Hotel offers membership of the Hesketh Health and Fitness Club, which has an indoor heated pool, fully equipped
gymnasium, sauna, solarium and tennis court. There is also a quality restaurant, bar and external pool.
All the facilities of Torquay resort, international marina and shopping centre are about a mile away. A designated parking bay is to the rear of
the crescent and there is extra storage space available in the cellar for canoe, surf boards etc.
There is no onward chain with this property – viewing is strongly recommended.
