Explore the delights of South Devon from this picture-perfect penthouse apartment, ideal for a family looking to get away from it all. Located in the sleepy village of Torcross, it's an excellent spot to recharge your batteries away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The modern, open-plan design means you won't miss out on any of the fun, whether you're relaxing on the low sofa or preparing a mouthwatering dinner in the sleek kitchen. At the end of the day, the three bedrooms offer a tranquil sanctuary and a sound night's sleep. Blessed with a prime position, you're just a short walk away from a three-mile expanse of shingle beach and the pristine Slapton Ley Nature Reserve – a haven for birders. Meanwhile, history buffs will appreciate the opportunity to discover more about the ill-fated Exercise Tiger that took place here in April 1944. Finally, if you want to explore further afield, the picturesque towns of Dartmouth and Salcombe are within a half-hour drive.
