OWNER'S INSIGHT

"The Vinery is a unique property and been a perfect home for me over the past eleven years. As a motorcycle enthusiast, the garage was a big feature and provides a perfect space for those with similar interest or storage needs. One thing I will miss the most is the location which is extremely convenient for either Torquay harbour and town, or the opposite direction to Meadfoot Beach. It is with a heavy heart I am making a move, but I feel the time is right to downsize."
