OWNERS INSIGHT

"Burnside has been our second home since 2004. When we decided to buy a property in Torquay as we liked the town and its surroundings so very much we found this house. We loved it right from the start, built in this red sandstone. Over the years we tried to underline this beautiful colour by adding matching aluminium windows and gutters, doors and gates. During the pandemic we improved the house even further by installing a completely new roof and extended restoration inside and outside throughout. Burnside has been a fantastic place to host all our friends as it is full of light and very spacious with a perfect layout and a positive wavelength you can feel as soon as you enter it. We loved the location of this house as it provided everything you are looking for: local shops, several pubs, the beach and beautiful Cockington - all within walking distance, a bus stop nearby, and several schools within easy reach. Overlooking the park with its little stream (ideal for dog owners) it is a very quiet and nice area. Now as we have decided to retire and downgrade to a smaller house and furthermore to find another house in Asia where it's nice and warm in the winter it will be difficult to find a similar place that will match. We hold so many wonderful memories with all our friends staying here to share all the beauty Torbay and Devon has to offer and are proud to know the possible new owners will be taking over a beautiful home with character and nothing to worry about."
