OWNERS INSIGHT

"We purchased this lovely apartment to move to into in future years as we felt that the setting of Thatcher View would be peaceful and relaxing, with the extra facilities offered at Lincombe Manor ideal for us when and if needed. The design of the apartment makes it easy to maintain and provides us with plenty of space, with the outlook being a particular attraction to us, with one aspect enjoying lovely sea views into across Meadfoot to Thatcher Rock, with sea glimpses into Tor Bay and across to the hills beyond to the opposite direction. All of this and access to The Manor House and its amenities, a perfect place for a quiet and settled life. Unfortunately our circumstances are now such that regretfully we are not going to be able to make the apartment the home that we hoped to spend our days in and so feel that now is the time to sell and let any new prospective buyer enjoy the benefits of life here at Thatcher View."
