Owner Insight

My parents retired to Devon over thirty years ago and bought this bungalow as a staging post – thinking that they would move on to Cornwall in a few years. They stayed for the remainder of their lives because the location was excellent. Just minutes from Newton Abbot and from there 20 minutes to the M5, making visits to and from their family easy for us all. The property was ideally located in Torquay – great shopping at the Willows and excellent local shops. The bungalow was perfect for their advancing years, with two small steps at the front and back door, access was easy with all accommodation then on a single level, this was exactly what they needed. The garden is small enough to be easily maintained but big enough for an enthusiastic gardener to be able to enjoy their time outside. This is a lovely spacious home, big enough for a family yet easily manageable as a retirement retreat. It is airy in the summer and yet cosy in the winter. I hope you like it as much as my parents did.
