1 Torwood Gables

About this property

1 Torwood Gables is a charming reverse-level apartment in Torquay, Devon, occupying part of a former Victorian school house with designated parking and the beach nearby. Designed for two guests and welcoming one well-behaved dog, this unusual duplex makes an appealing starting point for days on the English Riviera. Enter on the ground floor, where the double bedroom offers space to unpack, with the bathroom just across the hall providing a bath with shower over. Upstairs, large windows retained from the building’s school days inject character into the living/dining room. Let the morning unfold over breakfast at the dining table, then return from the coast later to settle on the sofa and switch on the Smart TV.

When dinner calls, the separate kitchen provides an oven, hob, microwave and fridge/freezer for putting together something tempting before planning the following day. Torquay itself puts the coast at the heart of your stay. Wander down towards the harbour, spend time on the nearby beach or delve into the fascinating caves at Kents Cavern. Venture onwards to Paignton for another day beside the water, pairing a stroll along the seafront with a visit to Paignton Zoo. Continue around the bay to Brixham, where fishing boats bring colour and activity to the harbour and Berry Head National Nature Reserve provides a scenic spot for coastal walking.

With shops, dining and the shoreline also close to home, you can leave the car in its designated space when your plans stay local. For Victorian character and days exploring the English Riviera, make 1 Torwood Gables your Devon base.
