OWNERS INSIGHT

"We enjoyed living here for 24 years. Being close to schools, local shops, swimming pool and lovely beaches made it a great home for starting a new family and enjoy our life. Conveniently located with a 10 min walk to Torquay town centre and 15 min walk to Babbacombe and St Marychurch. I will miss my home very much but now it's time for me to start a new life in a different country. I hope whoever lives in this house will get the same joy and happiness as I did."
