The property occupies a prime position on the highly sought after Belgrave Road, one of Torquay's most established hospitality locations. Torquay's vibrant marina, picturesque harbour, and bustling town centre are all within easy walking distance. A leisurely stroll along the palm lined promenade reveals spectacular coastal views across Torbay, stretching towards Paignton and the historic fishing port of Brixham, showcasing some of the finest scenery in the South West.
