SELLERS INSIGHT
"When we were seeking a project approximately 16 years ago we viewed this property and felt it suited our needs admirably. It was a well-proportioned traditional family home, situated level to most amenities, which is unusual to find in Torquay, and with the space it offered as well as the lovely sunny garden we could see that we could make a lovely home of it. Once we completed the refurbishment of the house we decided to let it and found a wonderful family who made the property home for them, being so comfortable that they have remained there ever since, only having left now due to us deciding to start a new chapter in our life and sell. Having been redecorated throughout the property is ready for any new owners to move in and create their own memories here."
