Property description
A two/three bedroom penthouse apartment enjoying a southerly aspect with lovely views over the valley and to the sea.
Cottington Court is a popular development situated to the west side of town. The town centre is within walking distance, where an excellent range of amenities can be found as well as the popular Regency Esplanade. Nearby, on Station Road, there are regular bus services to the surrounding area. The development includes superbly maintained, communal grounds - the majority situated to the south side.
This spacious penthouse flat is in need of a little modernisation, however it does enjoy a lovely southerly aspect and superb views over the town to Salcombe Hill and out to sea. The sitting room, master bedroom and dining room/bedroom three all take full advantage of the views, with the sitting room having sliding patio doors leading onto a good size balcony. uPVC double glazed windows are installed throughout and heating is by night storage heaters. There is no garage conveyed with this flat, however there is a store which is situated within the development.
