OWNERS INSIGHT

"Having been born and raised in Torquay as soon as we saw the wonderful opportunity of purchasing the former Cockington School and creating a stylish development of homes we knew that this would be an exciting project for us. The lovely original school building has created seven individual homes, along with the tasteful addition of a terrace of four newly built houses and we are extremely pleased to see our vision become reality. The location of The Old Cockington School Mews is so very convenient. The local parade of shops can cater for everyday needs, with a further selection of shops and amenities found in nearby Walnut Road. ‘Pretty’ Park is found at the bottom of the road and Torquay’s scenic seafront and the picturesque Cockington Valley are both found within walking distance."
