Enviably positioned in the very heart of the English Riviera on Torquay's water front, this COASTAL MAISONETTE forms part of a character GRADE II LISTED DEVELOPMENT. The apartment is beautifully presented and is arranged over two floors from a first floor position and benefits from a PRIVATE COURTYARD and has recently been decorated throughout.
A selection of waterside restaurants, bars, Princess Theatre and comprehensive range of shops are all on the doorstep, whilst the harbourside and wider areas around Tor Bay are havens for water based activities including fishing, sailing, paddle boarding, and scuba diving. Exceptional mooring facilities are located within a few minutes walk at Torquay's MDL Marina, and the scenic beaches of Meadfoot and Torre Abbey Sands can be found in either direction.
OWNER INSIGHT
"When I was looking for a property, by chance I came across Royal Marina Court in Torquay which offered me a beautiful 3 bed, 2 bath apartment of the highest quality opposite the Marina with permit parking through Torbay Council just across the road on an annual charge. The features of the apartment reminded me of our first ever luxury apartment with features one could only expect from an elegant Grade 11 listed mansion. Sadly my health has continued to deteriorate so I have decided to move closer to family but I will very much miss my time at Royal Marina Court and hope that the future owners will appreciate it as much as I have, although the property does not have a sea view it does benefit from a lovely courtyard garden to sit out in and is also secure for any pet owners."

What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
