EPC Rating: C OWNERS' INSIGHT The penthouse has given us a lifestyle, having moved across the bay from Brixham. When we first viewed we were sold on the location, views, private lift access, and size of the living space. However, we had to create the balconies and have also added professionally installed air conditioning to the southerly facing main rooms, particularly beneficial with the recent hot weather! We will be very sorry to leave, but with recent ill health we have decided to move closer to our family, we just wish we could pick up the apartment and move it!

A selection of waterside bars, highly regarded restaurants, and the Royal Torbay Yacht Club are within walking distance, with Torquay Marina beyond the vibrant harbour. Meadfoot Beach, a haven for water sports can be found past Daddyhole Plain to the north east. EPC Rating: F OWNER'S INSIGHT When the opportunity to purchase Overcrag came up in 2014, we knew we had to make it our home. We were already living on Rock End, but there are only a select few properties with such a dramatic position benefiting from uninterupted sea views. The building was in its original state, and over the years we have enhanced it to meet our needs, but appreciate with a house such as this it is the plot which is the attraction, and a new owner may wish to redesign to their own requirements. In our opinion the location is unrivalled in Torbay. Not only do we enjoy the outstanding views, but we are a matter of minutes' walk to restaurants, theatres, Torquay Marina, or Meadfoot Beach. We are fortunate to own a second property and therefore can offer Overcrag chain free.
