Livermead, Torquay

Highly regarded local schools are also easily accessible including the renowned Torquay Grammar Schools.

OWNERS INSIGHT

"We have enjoyed living here for the last 28 years. This house provides large, spacious rooms, beautiful sea views and a large level garden. Because of the beautiful sea views, large inside space and large patio it has been popular with our friends and family to have parties and barbeques. Now sadly we have made the difficult decision to sell our lovely home and to move to be near our children in London."
