1 Bed Apartment in Preston

About this property

The romantic bolthole, high on the hill above Paignton, looks out over the rooftops to the sea beyond. The beautiful apartment is within walking distance of the bustling seaside town, as well as its long sandy beach (1 mile). If you’re looking for traditional seaside charm, you won’t be disappointed. Stroll along the promenade with an ice cream, relive your childhood on the pier and take holiday snaps in front of the colourful beach huts. A great way to experience the beauty of the English Riviera is on the Dartmouth Steam Railway, which you can board in Paignton.

The stylish loft apartment is situated next to the owner’s luxury coastal home, yet privacy and seclusion are assured. A small flight of stairs leads from the parking area and once inside you’ll be met with crisp, clean lines and chic furniture. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is bright and airy, thanks to floor-to-ceiling French doors which open onto a Juliet balcony. Relax on the comfy sofa and watch the Smart TV or simply sit back and admire the magnificent views. Outside, there’s a fabulous glass-fronted patio where you can enjoy a meal for two in the sunshine, looking out to sea. Suitable for two small dogs.

Wander down to Paignton’s 18th-century harbour (2 miles) to watch the fishing boats coming and going and to sample a catch of the day at one of the exquisite seafood restaurants. After dinner, stroll hand in hand along the red sands of Fairy Cove, one of Paignton’s hidden gems, tucked away behind the harbour wall. Keen walkers will be in their element, with a wonderful selection of routes to explore. Pull on your hiking boots and stride out along the South West Coast Path to Brixham (6.6 miles) or head inland to discover the rugged beauty of Dartmoor National Park (13 miles).
