OWNERS INSIGHT

"This has been our much-loved family home for the past 10 years, filled with happy memories that we will treasure forever. The location has been perfect for us, ideal for schools, with beautiful walks around Cockington and the seafront just moments away. Over the years, we have adapted the property to create an easy to maintain, welcoming and fun space for family life. We are never tired of the stunning views across Torquay, and some of our special moments have been spent watching the fireworks light up the whole bay. We are now moving on to a slightly bigger project not far from here, and we look forward to another family creating their own wonderful memories in a home that has already been filled with so much love."
