Owners Insight

“Regretfully we have decided to leave our wonderful home of 26 years to relocate north to be near our grandchildren. We found 24 Swallowfield Rise to be a very convenient location; close to local amenities, but also situated at the end of a very tranquil col-de-sac, in the Willows on the edge of Torquay.

This extensive property provided ample room for our growing family, extended family visiting for holidays and office space for homeworking. The substantial and established garden is a magnificent play area for growing children, a challenge for green-fingered enthusiasts, and is crowned with a magnificent natural hedge and copse.

The Willows provided easy access to local woodland and open areas to walk our dog, and you are never more than a short drive away from the English Riviera seafront, wonderful coastal footpaths, riverside walks & pastures and the wilds of Dartmoor for the more adventurous.”
