Sellers Insight

"My recently deceased father Frank lived at the house for many years and loved it. A lot of the garden and house was modernised by him. Frank enjoyed landscaping the garden and he built the walling himself and enjoyed many days swinging on his chair in the garden - talking from personal experience, it's a lovely sun trap.

Frank enjoyed scootering 5 minutes to Babbacombe Downs and doing his daily walk along the top of the Downs and found it really convenient to scooter and walk to the local St Marychurch High Street which is clearly one of the most wonderful and comprehensive pedestrianised high streets in Torquay."
