OWNERS INSIGHT
"Parklands has been our family home now for twenty years, and having seen our children grow up here, it is now time to downsize. The parking has been invaluable, bearing in mind we have two motorhomes and numerous cars when all the family are home, and the flexible layout has enabled our mum to have her own independent living space upstairs with her own personal front door. The location is perfect for anyone wanting to be close to Torquay Academy, Grammar Schools, Mount Stuart Hospital, and Torbay Hospital."
