OWNER INSIGHT

When I was last making a move I decided that I would look for a complete change and a relocation. Having lived in Torquay many years ago I appreciated what the town offered me and felt that it would be lovely to return. Having already viewed a number of properties during my search I walked into Woodhaye Gardens and was immediately impressed with the neat & tidy appearance of the building and grounds , giving me the impression that the development was ‘cared for’ by the residents. As soon as I walked into the apartment and saw the lovely views over the communal gardens and the lovely south-westerly facing balcony I knew that I had found my new home. A decision that I have never regretted! Since living here I have found the apartment to be lovely and as it enjoys the afternoon and evening sunshine it has also been comfortable and warm. Unfortunately health reasons are now leading me to have to return to Cornwall but I will be making this move with an extremely ‘heavy heart!”
