OWNER'S INSIGHT

"Hillsborough has given us a fabulous family home for seventeen years and holds so many wonderful memories. Whilst carrying out renovation over the years, we have always tried to retain as much of the character from the period. we will certainly miss the views, particularly sitting with a drink on one of the patios in the warmer months. It has been a difficult decision to make, but we have now reached the right time in our life to downsize. We have already found a home locally, and all being well can offer Hillsborough chain free. Hopefully new owners will get the benefits of the lifestyle we have enjoyed, being so close to Wellswood and Meadfoot Beach, with everything that the wider Torbay has to offer also accessible."
