Home description
Protea is a lovely Victorian property that enjoys views over Torquay and the sea. Set over 2 floors, there is the added benefit of the large gardens and heated outdoor pool (end May - Sept).
The position offers peace and tranquillity, yet is only a short walk to the sea front and Torre Abbey sands, and then an enjoyable stroll along the sea front to Torquay Marina and harbour. In the opposite direction there is a pleasant woodland walk along Cockington Valley to the thatched village and Cockington Court, which has country park status and is well worth visiting.

The heart of the town is the harbour which is lined with cafes, bars and restaurants; a great place to watch the world go by. From here, take a pleasant stroll along the marina with the area’s trademark palm trees, or hop on a boat for a cruise across the bay or round to Dartmouth. The Living Coasts, The Princess Theatre and Pavilion shops are also located here. Torquay is rich in Victorian architecture and identity as the country’s first ‘resort’.
Torquay is host to many more attractions, including Babbacombe Model Village, Kents Cavern, Torquay Museum. Or take a trip back through time to Cockington Village where thatched roofs prevail and watch a blacksmith working in the 14th Century forge.
Those looking for a beach will not be disappointed either. Torquay is the ‘sandcastle capital of the UK’ offering the ideal mix of sand and water, according to research conducted by Bournemouth University. With five Torquay beaches currently holding Blue Flag Awards for cleanliness and quality, you really are spoilt for choice.
