Owner insight "Having been raised in Torquay and predominantly in this area I appreciate the benefits that the location offers. Whilst peacefully located the property is within walking distance of a selection of shops and amenities, with both St Marychurch shopping precinct and the beautiful Babbacombe Downs also easily accessible with local beaches just a five minute drive away. A selection of good local primary and secondary schools are also found close by, all important things to consider when choosing a family home."

"When I first viewed the house I was really surprised by the open views offered over the rooftops of Torquay across to the fields of Marldon in the distance. With the front of the house being south-westerly facing not only does this allow the house to benefit from the afternoon and evening sunshine I have also enjoyed plenty of lovely sunsets during my time living here."

"One of the attractions of this house to me was the lovely garden that it has, unusual to find with a home of this nature. Not only is there a good area to relax and enjoy there is also a garden room as well as a large utility and good size garage workshop as well."
