OWNER INSIGHT

“We moved into the house in 1998 and were immediately beguiled by the property. It was built in the Victorian period when Torquay was growing to become a tourist location; it is full of character. We had lovely neighbours and friends in the road and there is a vibrant community being central to many essential amenities and in less than 10 minutes walk you can be in the town or on the seafront. We left the property 12 years ago to live and work overseas since then the house has been rented. It is a charming and cosy property of great proportions and well constructed and was our family home that will forever be in our hearts. We have so many fond memories of the time we spent there, with visits from family and friends who always looked forward to staying with us, as it’s a great base in the south west. We are very sad to sell, but we hope the new owners will enjoy living there as much as we did”
