Tor Manor Project | 2019

A glorious gated courtyard development of Nine 3 & 4 bed town houses in one of Torquay’s most historic sites

Tor Manor is set in the Tormohun Conservation Area, on the site of the original manor house overlooking the church yard and gardens of one of Torquay’s oldest and historically significant churches, the medieval parish Church of Torre, now St Andrew’s Church.

The church and associated manor house, called the Court House, was the seat of the pre-monastic manor of Torre and was the foundation of one of Torquay’s earliest settlements. It was acquired by and was part of the historic Torre Abbey and kept by them until 1539.

Tor Manor is surrounded by a substantial stone wall, into which is built an ancient fountain. This fountain marks the site of the medieval wellhead attached to the kitchen of the original Court House. It was rebuilt in 1860 and is a monument to the original manor house and settlement that grew up around it.

The Tor Manor development is a modern high quality testimony to the original manor house. Elevated, Gated and secure, with sweeping views from over the Church yard and the Bay views from the elevated family terraces on the top floors.

Roofs are on and the finishing phase will be starting shortly for plots 1 – 6.

Plots 7,8 & 9 can now be started.

The former Spa View Hotel in the Warberries area of Torquay closed some years ago and fell in to serious disrepair. Eventually the hotel was demolished and planning consent gained to redevelop the site for residential use.

Nirvana Homes acquired the site in late 2014 and have completed discussions with the local planning authorities to redevelop the site to a block of 9 fabulous luxury apartments.

The site enjoys a lovely sunny South facing aspect and views across the tree topped valley leading down to the harbour, in one of Torquay’s nicest residential areas.

The development will be secure and gated. The apartments will have large sunny balconies and over 1000 sq, ft. of living space. There will be dedicated parking, visitor parking, private gardens and Spa Villa is in easy walking distant from the beautiful Torquay Harbour with all its’ cafes, bistros and restaurants.

We have been posting regular updates detailing the development of this site, which you can read on our Latest News page.

Once again due to the current level of interest and enquiries we fully expect many of the apartments to be sold before the development is complete.

As of April 2017 there are only 3 apartments left. If you are interested please get in touch through our Contact page.

Very much like in style and layout as the Tilia Mews development in Torquay, Sunnyside Cottages replaced a dilapidated former workshop in the ‘old village’ of Ivybridge.
The old workshops were demolished and four fabulous 2-bed, 2-bath Cottages were built.

Once again like Tavistock all the plots were sold off plan.

The Arches is a development of 5 apartments, adjacent to the old railway viaduct, in the centre of the historic market town of Tavistock.

The old dilapidated Falkland garage in the Torre Conservation Area of Torquay was demolished and a terrace of six, 2 and 3-bed Mews Cottages/Town Houses were built.

Tilia Mews is located in Lime Avenue, a quiet tree lined road in a highly regarded part of Torquay, on a site formerly used as coaching stables. Tradition, however, gives way to contemporary the moment you walk through the front door of these new homes, with the latest ranges of kitchens, sanitary ware and tiling combined with gas central heating and double glazing.

For this development Nirvana Homes were awarded the LABC Gold Award.

The Bishop’s Gate development was for 10 houses, four detached 4-bed houses and six 3-bed semi-detached houses, on an old church site on the outskirts of Bishopsteignton in the Heart of the Teign Valley Area of Outstanding Beauty.

The specification boasts quality fitted kitchens with stylish bathroom suites and a choice of tiling and flooring to give the homes a personal touch. All plots have either parking or garaging.
