If you want to feel the sea breeze in your hair then this home in Torquay – right on the English Riviera – is the one for you. It's situated just steps away from the harbour, so you don't have to go far to watch the boats bobbing in the water and hear the chatter of seagulls in the sky. Inside, you'll find a cosy space where you can kick back and relax between adventures, and we love the nautical blue and grey colour palette. The private balcony is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee as you make plans for the day – perhaps you'll discover the town's unique charms, with its Victorian pier and Ferris wheel. Or, take a drive along the coast to discover hidden beaches, beautiful walking trails and cosy country pubs to warm up in after your adventures.

About Torquay
Torquay has a long creative history, with Agatha Christie born in the town and Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s former home visible on Vaughan Parade.
