Sovereign House – Stylish Georgian Apartment Above Torquay Harbour

Perfectly positioned just above Torquay’s vibrant harbour, Sovereign House is a beautifully restored Georgian Regency apartment offering period charm, modern comfort and an unbeatable location. Set within a Grade II-listed building dating back to 1811, this spacious one-level, two-bedroom holiday home blends elegant heritage features with contemporary style—making it the ideal retreat for families, couples, or food-loving explorers.



With parking for one car, generous living spaces, two stylish bedrooms and unique character touches throughout, Sovereign House provides a calm and welcoming escape in Britain’s most up-and-coming seaside town. Step outside and within seconds you can enjoy waterfront cafés, marina walks, award-winning restaurants and the best of the English Riviera.



Character, Comfort & Contemporary Living



Thoughtfully designed to highlight its Georgian origins, the apartment features original cast-iron railings, wooden shutters, high ceilings and a private terrace restored from the former coal store. The bright living and dining area is perfect for gathering after a day at the beach, offering reclining sofas, a generously sized dining table and a fully equipped open-plan kitchen.



The spacious hallway leads to:

- Bedroom 1 – Flexible Twin / Super-King

A generous twin room with zip-link beds (convertible to a super-king), ideal for families and groups. There’s ample floor space for a travel cot if needed.



- Bedroom 2 – Peaceful Master Suite

A calming double bedroom with French doors opening onto a totally enclosed, high-walled inner courtyard—safe for children and perfect for morning coffee. The ensuite shower room adds a touch of luxury and convenience.



A family bathroom with a large bath and hand shower completes the layout.



Unique Outdoor Spaces



To the front of the property, descend the original Georgian steps to a private undercover patio, once the coal store and now transformed into a stylish outdoor seating area. It’s wonderfully cool on summer afternoons and a cosy hideaway for board games on rainy days.



A rear door leads directly to the lift and steps up to the private car park, ensuring easy movement throughout the property.



Access & Guest Experience



Fresh Escapes provides full check-in details 48 hours before arrival. Guests enjoy exclusive use of the apartment, terrace and designated parking. The property is part of an active Neighbourhood Watch area, helping ensure a peaceful, respectful environment for all.
