PHASE TWO NOW RELEASED AND READY FOR IMMEDIATE OCCUPATION

Location

Much more than leafy lanes...

There’s far more to Devon than it’s soft rolling hills, wild moors, stunningly beautiful coast, quiet walks and real country pubs. Look beyond its world famous cream teas, ice cream and creamed rice puddings. There are vibrant cities with fashionable shops and boutiques, large department stores, lively wine bars, clubs and pubs. Plymouth boasts the largest regional theatre in the UK to satisfy the hungriest of culture vultures. Exeter has one of the finest university campuses in England, an awesome cathedral, a tantalising collection of exclusive shops, and an expanding airport providing an incredibly easy gateway direct to Europe and beyond. In addition there are a diverse range of country towns including Totnes, England’s focus for all things alternative.

The sea and its shores play an essential rile in Devon life. In summer people are out and about on the water, be it pottering about in dinghies, dashing across the channel for supper L’Aberwrach, or playing at speed amidst the waves and wakes. The historic picture postcard town of Dartmouth is home to England’s famous Naval College, the training ground for generations of young royals. Plymouth sees sailors set out in search of transatlantic fame. The estuary on which the little town of Salcombe stands, positively teems with nautical life, providing an endless source of fascination.

The south west of England is building an enviable reputation not only for the quality of life but for the quality of its food; fresh, local produce - widely available of you care to look beyond the supermarket shelves and heralded by many local restaurants.

The English Riviera
Torquay embodies the notion of an English Riviera and was so christened by the Victorian gentry who were attracted by its mild and balmy climate, and sparkling blue sea. They built its crisp while villas and elegant crescents and probably enjoyed a dip in what we now become its famous blue flag beaches. Reminiscent of its famous continental counterparts, Torquay comes complete with an elegant palm lined promenade, stately parks and gardens and effervescent Cafe culture. Its fashionable and lively nightlife includes some highly acclaimed restaurants, No7, Edwards, The Rainbow, just to name a few, together with sophisticated bars and clubs, live music, and a casino.

The area around the sea front and the harbour provides the daytime focus. Fishing boats jostle against the harbour wall, vying for customers for sea fishing expeditions and offering freshly caught shellfish. The marina is known locally as something of a Monte Carlo due to the seriously expensive yachts and motor cruisers in the exclusive line up. The town centre itself has a good range of independent shops and boutiques, national brand names a grand old department store. Alternatively, there is a large M&S, Next, Sainsbury’s, electrical stores and computer shops at The Village, an out-of-town shopping centre.

The tourist industry has nurtured some splendid nearby attractions; Paignton Zoo Environmental Park has one of the largest collections of sensitively housed animals and exotic plants in the country, the Living Coast offers an irresistible penguin party, then there’s the miniature village, a cliff railway and a steam railway.

South Devon’s main central hospital is in Torquay and the town is generously supplied with schools and colleges. Torquay is easily accessible by road with a direct (mainly dual carriageway) route to the A38 / M5... and the world beyond - should you ever need it.
