7 Bayview at Vernon Court in Devon

About 7 Bayview at Vernon Court

Holidays on the English Riviera are all about making the most of the stunning south Devon coastline, and if you’re looking for a beautiful place to base yourself during your stay, this swish apartment is simply perfect!
Recently refurbished to a very high standard, 7 Bayview sits within Vernon Court and boasts a light-filled, bright and airy interior as well as an exceptional position above Abbey Sands, and with far reaching views on display from nearly every room, you’ll feel truly relaxed from the moment you set foot inside.

Awash with stylish furnishings and contemporary features, this two-bedroom apartment has a master en-suite and a family bathroom, an open plan living / dining / kitchen area which opens out to the balcony, and a small, private-use terrace with furniture and sea views. Whip up family feasts together or put your feet up and simply enjoy the view, and if you fancy popping down to Torquay for a wander around the shops or a day on the beach, the palm-tree lined seafront is just a short walk down Rock Walk which lies alongside the building.

Tastefully styled and very well-equipped guests can expect to find plush décor and sumptuous beds, modern bathrooms with good quality fixtures, and a high spec kitchen with built-in appliances and a wine cooler. Both bedrooms open out on to a sea-facing balcony, so if you like to enjoy your morning coffee with a view, this is the perfect spot.

Torquay is home to many good restaurants including Pier Point which overlooks the Marina, and Bistro Pierre which sits on the promenade, so if you’re planning on eating out during your stay, you’re just a few minutes’ walk from a host of great options. The harbour is also within easy reach on foot and here you can hop aboard a ferry and enjoy a day out in the famous fishing town of Brixham.
