OWNERS INSIGHT
"We moved to Torquay for a lifestyle change, and Rocombe Close has given us exactly what we were seeking. The views are simply breathtaking and we still have to pinch ourselves sometimes when looking out across Torquay in front of us to the sea, or the beautiful hills behind toward Marldon and Dartmoor. When we took over the bungalow it had been a loved home in the same ownership since new in the early 1980s, but was in need of general modernisation. After putting a lot of love, sweat, and tears into the renovation, we have now taken the emotional decision to move closer to family and our baby grandchild as they are unable to move close to Devon. We only wish we could take the bungalow and our wonderful neighbours with us!
