Owners insight "We bought this house in Sherwell Valley Road over 20 years ago, having lived in Torquay all our lives and raising a young family, we were looking for a house for our family to grow and be happy in with local amenities, a friendly community and close to local schools, we certainly found all we were looking for and more. We have made some brilliant memories and been very happy in this wonderful home, which has easy access to Armarda park where our children loved playing football etc., Cockington Country Park which is within walking distance as well as Torquay Sea Front, it will be very difficult to find somewhere with as many benefits. Our family has now grown and flown the nest and we feel that it is time for us to downsize giving a new family the opportunity to enjoy this lovely family home which we will definitely find hard to leave."
