The Southbank Townhouse is a boutique, twelve-bedroom, licensed guesthouse, located just a short walk from the seafront in Torquay. The rooms are all en-suite, and the building has its own private parking. In addition, the property also has private accommodation for the owners. 

Over the years, the business has built an impressive reputation as a cornerstone of the industry in the local area, with repeat visitors playing a major part in its commercial success. The new owners are planning some slight refurbishment work before reopening for the 2026 season. 

Devon law firm Kitson Boyce advised on all issues relating to the conveyancing of the site and worked alongside Charles Darrow, the commercial property agents who are based in Newton Abbot.       

Commenting on the news, Cheryl Baxter, Partner and Head of Commercial Property at Kitson Boyce said: 

“It’s a genuine pleasure for us to play our part in the transfer of this iconic commercial property because it represents the continued economic development of Torbay’s hospitality industry. I’d like to wish the new owners of the Southbank Townhouse well for the future while also sending our very best wishes to our clients (the previous owners) as they move on to pastures new.”
