OWNER'S INSIGHT

"We’ve absolutely loved our time on Cary Park Road, it’s been such a happy home for our family. If we could pick it up and take it with us to East Devon, we truly would! Work commitments and being closer to our parents are the only reasons for our move. This house has been everything we could have hoped for, spacious, comfortable, and perfect for family life. The level garden has been wonderful for the children to play in, and having a garage and parking has made things so easy day to day. Our two children attend the local primary and secondary schools, both just a short distance away. We’ve enjoyed having Plainmoor swimming pool and Torquay United just beyond Spires College behind us, and we’ll really miss our walks with the dog to Cary Park, Walls Hill, and the stunning views from Babbacombe Downs, all within a mile of our doorstep."
