A fantastic Development Site For Sale
Torquay, Devon
Probably one of the best development opportunities for years has now come to the market in the sought-after coastal town of Torquay. This substantial former 26-bedroom hotel site occupies a commanding central location and benefits from stunning sea views and it’s only a short stroll away to town centre, harbour and beach front. The building has undergone significant alteration and extensions over many decades, including a three-storey extension to the southern elevation and the size of the site is approx. 1/2 acre. The immediate tree lined road leading to the site is occupied by many high-end boutique hotels and whilst situated in a quiet area, it’s only a stone throw from the bars, restaurants, theatre, and marina.
The site entrance is on Croft Road in the heart of Torquay and benefits from direct access to large Sheddon Hill car park, which in turn has easy access to the seafront promenade from the bottom of the garden.
The site also benefits from two entrances and a separate cottage with large gardens having direct access to the sea front. Early viewings are highly recommended.
The location is ideal to access all main road links and both the bus and train terminal are walking distance away. The local amenities, town centre and seafront are only a few hundred metres away, which makes this location so unique.
