OWNERS INSIGHT

“ I have loved living in this delightful property for 12 years, with its easy to manage walled garden, large light rooms, with the bonus of having a good spacious parking area. My children, grandchildren and great grandchildren have all enjoyed visiting the flat, they’ve spent many happy days, holidays and birthdays etc, playing in the garden and walking with me up to the shops, which are in easy reach at the St Marychurch Precinct. I am moving to mid Devon to be closer to them and the rest of my family.”
