OWNERS INSIGHT

"This has been a wonderful family home for over 45 years until the passing of my mother in December. I moved away in 1992 but always enjoyed returning to see my parents, watching Mum pottering around the two gardens which. Much entertaining occurred on the balcony with an awesome sea view towards Berry Head. The location is brilliant for seafront, train station, Cockington and neighbouring towns. The neighbours are friendly and keep an eye on each other. We look forward to another family enjoying it as much as we did."
