OWNERS INSIGHT
“Having been a very happy home for me for 53 years it has been difficult for me to make the decision to move but the time is now right for me to do so and to let new owners enjoy living here as much as I have done. I have loved looking out of the window watching the wildlife in the garden and also found tending my productive fruit garden to be therapeutic. The location of the property has been extremely convenient, with a local convenience store just a short stroll down the hill, a parade of local shops in Plainmoor within walking distance, and the shops and amenities in St Marychuch a short distance beyond. Torquay town centre is also found within a short drive and between all of these they cater for my everyday needs. Local schools and a bus service are also found close by."
