Experience sun-kissed coastal living in this sunny second-floor apartment on the English Riviera. Enjoy unparalleled views from its elevated hillside location at this seaside escape that's perfectly set up for a family of five to enjoy.

Large picture windows frame the vista in the living room, with direct access to the balcony so you can make the most of sunny days out in your own private space. The main bedroom also benefits from a door leading directly outside, so you can sip your morning coffee to the soundtrack of the sea. A well-equipped kitchen ensures homemade family feasts are within your grasp, while the location places you within a short walk of plenty of bustling bars and waterside restaurants for those nights when you'd rather leave dinner to someone else.

The bohemian enclave of Totnes and the picturesque fishing town...
