Den Crescent, Royal Court, TQ14

Royal Court is a beautiful grade 2 listed building in an enviable position directly opposite the Den and seafront. Formerly The Royal Hotel, it is now designed for modern retirement living for those age 60 plus. It retains much of its original splendour in the galleried court residents lounge. The lounge looks out over the Den and is a popular place for the residents to take part in the social activities organised for everyone or just relax and enjoy the views and people watching. The Resident Manager is very supportive and particularly keen to ensure everyone gets the best experience of Royal Court. Its central location ensures quick and easy access to the seafront, shops, cafes and theatre as well as local health services. It’s only a short walk to public transport including train station.

Located on the lower level of the building are Guest Suites available for residents to accommodate visitors. There is also a well equipped laundry room and from here you can access the refuse room and rear car park.

There is a lift and stairs to all floors. This particular apartment has very quick and easy access to a staircase and exit on the side of the building nearest the town centre as well as the more central lift and stairs.

Royal Court is accessed via a communal entrance with an intercom entry system. The apartment, on the second floor which is one floor up from the entrance level, is situated on a rear corner of the building with views across the Den, Pier and out to sea as well as views over the town and beyond to farmland - with the added attraction of being able to enjoy Devon sunsets from the lounge and main bedroom. Stepping in to the entrance hall of the apartment there is an entry phone system, electric heater and large storage cupboard with light which houses the hot water cylinder. Doors lead off the hall to all rooms.

The good size lounge is bright and airy having double glazed windows to the rear and side aspects with far reaching views to farmlands beyond the town. This room enjoys afternoon sun and beautiful sunsets. Off the lounge is the kitchen, accessed via double doors, with a double glazed window to the rear, base and wall units, single bowl single drainer sink unit, tiled splashbacks, electric eye level oven, hob and cooker hood and space for appliances.

The main bedroom has a double glazed window to the rear which also benefits from the afternoon sun. The second bedroom has a double glazed window to the side aspect with a lovely view across the Den, pier and out to sea. As an alternative to a bedroom, this room would make a lovely study/studio to take full advantage of the aspect.

The renovated bathroom comprises a double length shower cubicle with electric shower, low level WC and wash hand basin in counter with storage below. There is also an electric wall heater, extractor fan and a shaver point.

There are emergency pull cords in each room and there are two telephone points, one in the lounge and one in the bedroom.
