OWNERS INSIGHT

"Very sad to leave such a beautiful home which is ideally located in a beautiful part of Torquay. It's provided a fantastic life-style which allows the owners to walk down to the sea and partake in the shops, cinemas, theatres, cafes and wonderful restaurants. The English Riviera is right on your doorstep and will appeal to boating enthusiasts or walkers. A few short steps and your into Cockington, for anyone missing green countryside, its right there, ideal for dog walkers. I often feel I have it all, town, sea and countryside, so if you can't decide where to live, choose here and you'll have it all. ideally suited for Torquay Grammars and primary schools. Good bus services and you can also easily walk to the train station. With its separate annex this house is ideal for multigenerational living, or for extra income, hosting students or Air bnb. Time for me to move on to pastures green, my family all grown-up now and a new life awaits."
