Sellers Insight

"My parents honeymooned in Torquay and then visited annually thereafter, with a trip to Torquay being my regular holiday. When they decided to downsize due to their advancing years there was no doubt as to where they were wanting to relocate to....Torquay and the sunny English Riviera, where they thoroughly enjoyed their latter years.

They found the location to be extremely convenient, with the town and harbourside easily accessible, and an easy shortcut found almost at the end of the road, but at the same time they found the setting to be lovely and peaceful and enjoyed listening to the birds singing in the nearby trees.

In more recent years the property has been used as a successful rental investment, with the last tenant having lived there for almost 11 years and very reluctantly moved out with a heavy heart due to the property now being sold."
