Seafront Serenity: Your Versatile Coastal Retreat at 15c Hesketh Crescent Experience the ultimate coastal lifestyle in this historic Grade II* listed Victorian building. 15c Hesketh Crescent offers a magnificent duplex apartment with panoramic sea views. Perched on the top two floors, this stunning property provides a versatile retreat, perfect as a full-time home, private holiday home, luxury rental, or long-term let. Enjoy the best of both worlds: the tranquility of your private residence and the exclusive amenities of the Osborne Hotel. As a member, you can indulge in great hotel facilities right on your doorstep with the incredible backdrop of Meadfoot beach. I’ve always admired Hesketh Crescent, it’s such an impressive landmark for Torbay and in such a serene setting. It is a beautiful building. I’ve sold a few apartments in the crescent over the years, however, this particular apartment is really very special indeed and therefore represents an incredibly rare opportunity to buy. As soon as you enter, you’ll feel a sense of calm that only the sound of the sea can provide. 15c is located at the far end of the crescent and with that it enjoys the closest proximity to the water. The apartment is flooded with light and the sunrises are spectacular. You’ll enjoy the sun until it sets, thanks to the south facing setting. A Piece of Victorian History Hesketh Crescent, a magnificent Grade II* listed building, is steeped in history. Constructed between 1846 and 1848 by the Harvey brothers, this iconic landmark was originally named Meadfoot Crescent. In 1849, it was renamed in honor of the birth of Sir Lawrence and Maria Hesketh's first child. The crescent has played host to many notable figures throughout history. Charles Darwin, the renowned naturalist, stayed here in 1861, just a few years after publishing "The Origin of Species." Agatha Christie, the world-famous mystery writer, also had ties to the crescent, as her childhood friends, the Lucy family, resided here. Additionally, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the brilliant engineer behind the Great Western Railway, was a frequent visitor to the crescent. Today, the centerpiece of the crescent is the historic Osborne Hotel, formerly known as Osborne House. This elegant 4-star hotel offers 33 rooms and 46 self-catering apartments, providing the perfect blend of luxury and convenience. Owning 15c means you could enjoy access to the hotel's amenities, including indoor pool, tennis court, gym, and a restaurant, through a hotel membership. As a Grade II* listed building, Hesketh Crescent stands as a testament to its historical significance and architectural beauty. Its preservation ensures that future generations can continue to appreciate its charm and character. A Spacious and Luxurious Retreat 15c Hesketh Crescent offers a spacious and luxurious interior, designed to maximize natural light and breathtaking sea views. The apartment's generous layout begins with a welcoming hallway where you’ll find a convenient cloakroom and stairs to the floor above. A door leads to a well-appointed kitchen-dining room. This bright and airy space features modern appliances, ample storage, and a cozy fireplace. Large sash windows frame stunning panoramic views of Thatcher Rock, Orestone Rock, and the coastline, making it the ideal spot to enjoy a morning coffee while taking in the sea views. The adjacent living room is equally impressive, boasting large windows to the side and front of the building that flood the space with natural light and frame incredible sea views. The room is ideal for relaxation and entertaining guests. A convenient study (could be a useful fourth bedroom), also with sea views, provides a peaceful setting. Ascending the staircase to the upper floor, you'll find three bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a true sanctuary, with gorgeous sea views, built-in wardrobes, and an en-suite bathroom featuring a bath, separate shower, and underfloor heating. A private terrace off the bedroom offers an idyllic spot to enjoy the sea air and views in complete privacy. The second bedroom is also a large double, with original fireplace and offering sea views and plenty of natural light. The third bedroom to the rear aspect is ideal for guests. The main bathroom, located on this floor, is well-appointed and features a bath with shower over, WC and basin. The property has been well looked after externally too. In May 2024 the roof was overhauled by skilled professionals using Welsh slate, lead and meticulous workmanship, preserving the building for years to come. Location Hesketh Crescent is set in a prime position overlooking Meadfoot Beach. Meadfoot is a charming area of Torquay just a few minutes drive from Torquay Marina or the shops at Wellswood. There is something for everyone at Meadfoot, from enjoying a coffee at the cliff side Meadfoot cafe just a very short walk from the apartment, to walking along the South West coast path, to paddleboarding to Thatcher Rock or simply relaxing on the beach, there is plenty to see and do. The renowned ‘Little Theatre’ is also just a short walk away. Set in a converted church complete with a cosy bar, the Little Theatre promises to be a great night out with something to entertain everyone, including well-known classics, thrillers, comedies and ground-breaking shows. The Osborne Hotel is set in the centre of the crescent. With restaurant, gym, indoor pool, tennis court, gardens and a terrace overlooking the sea, perfect for afternoon tea.
