OWNERS INSIGHT

"The location of Flat 4 no.5 couldn’t be more perfect, occupying a central position within the historic Lisburne Crescent, commanding far reaching views across the bay from three huge windows. With the combination of Meadfoot Beach with safe swimming and a lovely cafe, the charm and convenience of Ilsham Road shops and the restaurants of Torquay Harbour each a ten minute walk away, we’ve loved the five years we’ve spent here, from the moment we walked in and saw the stunning proportions and features of the flat - and that beautiful sunny aspect. A new job prompts a move - but it will be hard to find such a special place again."
