Description

This substantial former 26-bedroom hotel occupies a commanding central position in the highly sought-after coastal town of Torquay. Boasting stunning sea views and set within approximately half an acre, this impressive site is just a short stroll from the town centre, harbour, and beachfront. Over the decades, the property has been significantly altered and extended, including the addition of a three-storey southern extension. Located on a tree-lined road renowned for its high-end boutique hotels, the site enjoys a peaceful setting while being mere moments from Torquay's vibrant bars, restaurants, theatre, and marina. The property also benefits from dual access to the seafront a rare and valuable feature. Early viewing is highly recommended

The main entrance is on Croft Road, right in the heart of Torquay, with direct access to the large Shedden Hill car park. From the garden, a private pathway leads conveniently down to the seafront promenade. This prime location provides excellent access to main road links, with both bus and train stations within easy walking distance. The town centre and all local amenities are just a few hundred metres away - making this an unparalleled opportunity in a truly unique setting.
