Owner Insight

“When looking to relocate from Cornwall to Torquay as part of my retirement plan, I wanted to find a quiet yet convenient apartment. I was so very lucky to find Torwood House because it most certainly matched, if not exceeded my criteria and it has been a wonderfully happy home for me. Easily accessible to Torquays picturesque harbourside, as well as the ‘village’ shopping parade in nearby Wellswood I have found it a lovely peaceful place to call home and I shall certainly miss it when I make my move. It is with a very heavy heart that i’ve decided to make another move but ‘retiring’ again has led to me making this difficult decision.

Living in a small, friendly purpose built development has been a thoroughly enjoyable experience for me. I have been extremely fortunate to have such a wonderful selection of neighbours and really wish that I could take them with me! I know that any new owner will be warmly welcomed and will love their time living here at Torwood House.”
