SELLER'S INSIGHT
"Our Dad bought the apartment when newly converted in 2002, and over the past 20 years got so much enjoyment from his home. The views never fail to amaze us as a family, following the sun in the morning over the inner harbour to the east, making its way across the bay toward the Marldon hills and Tor Abbey Sands. You will not find a better view to watch the fireworks or action on the water, and the recent cruise ships mooring throughout the Covid restrictions were a magnificent sight. Its very emotional to sell the property, and if whoever takes over the apartment gets half as much enjoyment as our Dad and family, they'll be making some exceptional memories."
