OWNERS INSIGHT

"We’ve truly loved living here. Being able to walk to the local precinct for everyday essentials, a pub visit or a relaxed weekend breakfast has made life feel easy and connected. We often stroll to Babbacombe Downs for the sea views, and it’s so easy to head into Torquay for dinner or drinks, yet home always feels peaceful. The cosy, detached house and sunny courtyard have been our little sanctuary, and we’ll truly miss it."
