SELLERS INSIGHT

"My mother was born and grew up in Torquay. After living all over the UK and abroad, she and my father returned to the area when she retired. They lived in a few properties in both Torquay and Paignton but the one thing they all had in common was a view of the sea. She fell in love with the wonderful views but also the security of the building and the community within. She loved the close proximity to Torquay and Paignton - her and the family, when they visit, have often walked along the seafront into Torquay or to the beaches nearby. She also loved how light and airy the flat was but also compact (easy to clean!). Mum has spent many happy years here and was very sad to leave, but is sure it will be a lovely coastal retreat for the next owners, just as it was for her."
