Preston is a seaside conurbation of Paignton, located to the norther edge of the town between Paignton and Torquay. Preston has a popular beach and is a great destination for both local families and holiday makers, with its easy access and its safe swimming.
The beachfront is adorned with traditional beach huts during the summer months and has a wide level promenade to the front. The subject property is only a short stroll to Paignton Green, Paignton Pier and the town centre. Paignton harbour is located just beyond this, again with easy access from Preston beach.
Paignton is loved for its long sandy beaches and is a colourful, traditional seaside resort, popular for its mild climate and lively seafront. Forming part of the English Riviera with its neighbours Torquay and Brixham, Paignton is accessed via the A380 passing Newton Abbot, approximately 20 miles from the City of Exeter. Paignton has a Mainline Railway Station and is connected to the M5 Motorway via the A380 at Exeter.
