OWNERS INSIGHT

"The stunning views over the harbour and across the bay, quiet area and well maintained surroundings were the attractions to purchase the apartment 35 years ago. The shops or harbourside can easily be reached within a 10 minute walk. Initially, we used the property as an escape from running a busy pub in Somerset, then holidays with my son and cousins exploring the beautiful coves, beaches and local attractions. More recently, I have enjoyed long coastal walks and varied inland scenery. However, due to family commitments in Oxfordshire, it is difficult to use the apartment as much as I would like to, so with a heavy heart, I feel the time is right to sell and allow others to experience the amazing view while sitting on the balcony."
