OWNER INSIGHT

"Upon relocating to Torquay in 1981 my parents found this property, which at the time was a lovely B&B, not only providing us with a comfortable family home but also providing them with an income. The close proximity to the town was an attraction to them, being situated opposite a park was also ideal as us children were young at the time and the space offered enabled it to be their long-term family home that we were able to grow into, which we certainly did! Our parents have enjoyed nearly 45 very happy years living here on Lymington Road and whilst the property became far too big for them when the family ‘flew the nest’ it was so convenient and they were so comfortable living here that they would not even contemplate a move. It is with a heavy heart that we are now looking to sell the property but are taking lots of very special memories with us and dearly hope that any new owners are as happy living here as our family have been."
