Property information

Nestled just above Torquay's harbour, Britain’s most booming seaside town, you’ll find this gorgeous Georgian building. Sovereign House is a modern, spacious and quirky one-level apartment with beautiful period features, including parking for one car. This historic homestay sleeps four people in two bedrooms and is the perfect holiday escape at any time of year, being cool in the summer and cosy and warm in the winter. Simply step out the door to explore cool harbourside cafes, gastro pubs, ice-cream parlours, traditional tea rooms, trendy cocktail bars, shops, the beach, the Princess theatre, museums and much more without the need of a car. To help maintain a safe and respectful environment for both guests and local residents, Sovereign House is part of an active Neighbourhood Watch scheme. Any unsociable or disruptive behaviour will be reported via the appropriate channels. Sovereign House is perfectly situated for a family-friendly stay or a grown-up foodie gastro extravaganza. Built in 1811, this grand building is everything you’d expect from a classic Georgian regency property, with its original cast-iron railings and curved south-facing terrace. Formerly known as Higher Terrace, the grade II-listed property was designed by Jacob Harvey and originally comprised nine houses. It was one of the most important developments in Torquay in its time. Strictly, no same sex groups

Neighbourhood information

Torquay is a stylish resort with a real continental atmosphere. It knows how to cater for everyone’s tastes. For watersports, fishing and sailing, Torquay has a fabulous choice of beaches, while the evenings provide fine dining, theatre, cinema and star-studded shows for all the family. Torquay also has some of Devon’s best attractions including Kents Cavern, 800-year-old Torre Abbey with its Agatha Christie-inspired Potent Plants Garden and Babbacombe Model Village. Go back in time along Cockington’s narrow lanes, a charming village lined with thatched houses that date back to the 16th century. You can also walk the Agatha Christie mile and discover some of the murder scenes described in her novels. Take the picturesque steam train to Kingswear and jump aboard a riverboat up the Dart to visit her magnificent riverside residence at Greenway, run by the National Trust. If you have your car, you can play a round at Torquay Golf club (2.6 miles away), discover the local beaches, such as Torre Sands at Torquay; nearby are Paignton, Goodrington Sands and Broadsands.
