OWNER'S INSIGHT
"When I was searching for a new home nine years ago I was not looking for an apartment, but when I was encouraged to view and walked through the door it offered me everything I needed. Being on the top corner of the development, I enjoy the finest views over the valley and down toward Tor Bay with glimpses of the sea. The large two double bedroom design was a blank canvas, which I have upgraded and modernised to provide a comfortable home. The undercover parking, private secure store, and attractive communal gardens are added benefits. The location is perfect. Wellswood is a matter of minutes walk away, and as keen walkers we have a beautiful loop down to the harbour, over Daddyhole Plain, past Meadfoot Beach and back through the Ilsham Valley or woodland."
