SELLERS INSIGHT

“Our mum bought through John Lake Estate Agents and moved in to Stanley Court ten years ago, and it has been a wonderful home for her. There is a lovely atmosphere for those wishing to socialise in the communal lounge or garden, and the development provided us with peace of mind knowing mum had the additional benefits of a house manager and call system in case of an emergency. We believe the location is second to none in Torquay. Tessier Gardens literally through the linked gateway from the communal garden, wide selection of shops a short distance, and lots of leisure activities close at hand. The conservative club is well supported and a few minutes’ walk around the corner. Mum has now moved into supported care closer to us, and we are able to offer the apartment chain free”.
