OWNER INSIGHT
“This bungalow will always have a very special place in my heart. Not only was it where I created lots of lovely memories as I grew up, but it was a very happy home for my parents for over 50 years. Fortunate enough to have been able to choose this plot, they were then able to watch as the bungalow was built for them. The tranquillity yet convenience of the location, the lovely open views enjoyed over Torquay from the rear, as well as the fact that the bungalow enjoys the best of the days sunshine where factors that led to my parents enjoying so many happy years living in their ‘dream home’ and I am sure that these will also be attractions to any prospective new owners. It has been a very difficult decision to make deciding to sell the bungalow but I can assure any new owners that it is a very special property, and one where if walls could talk there would be lots of wonderful stories to be told!”
