OWNER'S INSIGHT

"The house ticked the boxes we needed when moving to Torquay in early 2022, being in a popular area close to good schools, ample space for our family and pets, and the additional garden level ideal for our teenage son to have his own games room or home office for ourselves. We still love our home, but our circumstances have changed slightly quicker than we expected, and we will be moving in with elderly family so can offer the house with no onward chain."
