2 Osprey House is a distinctive ground-floor apartment forming part of an attractive converted period building, positioned close to Walls Hill and within easy reach of Babbacombe Downs. The property offers a highly individual layout, with ground-floor access, a mezzanine level and a private courtyard garden, making it an appealing option for buyers looking for something a little different in a well-connected coastal setting.

The apartment is approached via a communal entrance with entry phone system, leading into the communal hallway and onward to the private front door. Once inside, the accommodation opens into a reception hallway, with a large cloakroom/WC positioned to one side. This space also incorporates a useful utility area, adding practical day-to-day storage and laundry provision.

The main living area is a standout feature of the apartment. Designed as an open-plan kitchen, lounge and dining space, it has excellent natural light from a large roof lantern, creating a bright and sociable central area. The kitchen is neatly arranged with fitted units, a built-in oven, microwave, induction hob, composite sink and a small breakfast bar, while the adjoining living and dining space offers a flexible layout for relaxing, dining and entertaining.

A spiral staircase rises from the living area to a mezzanine level, which provides a useful additional space and would lend itself well as a bedroom area, occasional sleeping space, study or snug, depending on the buyer’s needs. From the main living area, there are also two further rooms, one currently suited as a small single bedroom and a second bedroom offering additional flexibility.

To the rear of the apartment is a modern shower suite, fitted with a shower cubicle, low-level WC, wash hand basin and heated towel radiator. A door from the living area leads directly out to a private courtyard garden, giving the apartment its own outside space - a valuable feature for a property of this style and location.

The apartment would suit first-time buyers, those seeking a lock-up-and-leave coastal base, or buyers wanting to be close to the amenities of Babbacombe, Reddenhill Road, Wellswood and the surrounding coastline. Parking is available on nearby adjoining roads, including around St Anne’s Road, with further parking options potentially available via Torbay Council car parks, subject to permit availability and the usual local authority arrangements.

Overall, 2 Osprey House is a characterful and highly individual ground-floor apartment, offering flexible accommodation, a private courtyard and a superb position close to Walls Hill, Babbacombe Downs and some of Torquay’s most popular coastal walks and amenities.
