Take a look inside this property of the week.

Astunning Torquay apartment with a 2,500 square foot terrace and uninterrupted coastal views has been put up for sale. The enticing apartment is part of a development of luxury homes in Torbay Road, built on the site of one of the most prestigious residential addresses in Torquay.

Formerly known as Abbey Crescent, the site once featured a crescent of three-storey town houses which was later converted into the Palm Court Hotel and flourished over many decades until a devastating fire in 2010 reduced the building to a derelict site.

In 2012 planning permission was obtained to create the award-winning and now iconic Abbey Sands development – the design of the building influenced by the Art Deco style of the British seaside capturing the spirit of Riviera style.

The building is arranged over six floors, with the ground floor offering vibrant restaurants and café culture, and is phase one of the luxury homes development.

On sale with a guide price of £795,000, No.7 Abbey Sands is a simply stunning contemporary leasehold apartment.

With an exceptional terrace of 2,500 square foot, the apartment is unique within the development and captures outstanding views from the Marina, taking in the bay in its entirety, and overlooking Torre Abbey Sands.

The fourth-floor apartment has a video and audio door entry system, and stair and lift access.

It boasts an open-plan living area, the kitchen fitted with a range of Symphony units, Silestone work surfaces and appliances by AEG, including a built-in oven, induction hob, combi-microwave and grill, semi-integrated telescopic hood, integrated dishwasher and fridge/freezer and Caple wine cooler.

The apartment has a separate utility room, two bedrooms, an en-suite shower room and separate bathroom with sanitary ware by Villeroy & Boch. The apartment also has an allocated parking space.

The spectacular terrace is bounded by plate-glass panels with a marine-grade stainless steel handrail, and incorporates an enclosed and sheltered area with opaque glass panels. A further feature of the terrace are the steel box planters with automatic irrigation.

The building is extremely energy-efficient too with a centralised gas-fired central heating and hot water system with separate plant room for the boiler.

Individually metered, the apartment has a mechanical ventilation heat recovery system, double-glazed windows and sliding doors appropriate for the coastal location.
