OWNER INSIGHT

"When looking to downsize from our former home we were seeking a comfortable low maintenance apartment, but enjoying sunshine it was important for us to have some private outside space. Having viewed a number of properties we were starting to wonder if we were seeking the impossible…that was until we found Hayden Park. As soon as we walked into the apartment we were attracted by how bright and sunny the principal rooms were and upon stepping out onto the large secluded terrace we knew that we had found our new home. Not only that, with all of the St Marychurch amenities close at hand we realised just how extremely convenient it was. Having enjoyed 5 very happy years living here it is with a heavy heart that we have made the difficult decision to leave Torbay to move closer to our family but will take a lot of happy memories of our time here with us and know that any new owners will be warmly welcomed."
