SELLER'S INSIGHT

"My parents moved into The Palms in 2012 and were immediately attracted to its low rise, Mediterranean style and its great location for the shops and amenities at Wellswood 'village', Babbacombe and St Marychurch precinct. An added bonus was the few minutes drive to Torquay Golf Club. They enjoyed many years in their apartment, the tranquillity of their small balcony overlooking the floral internal courtyard garden, sitting with a coffee on a sunny afternoon. Mum spent another 5 years there on her own and the secure gated community and easy access to her front door alongside the friendliness of the neighbours was an added bonus. It’s a lovely well maintained apartment block in a great area of Torquay."
