Owner's' Insight

"Having been born and brought up in Torquay, I always liked Torbay Park, and as soon as we walked up the steps 15 years ago and saw the beautiful sea view we knew this was our next home. It is hard to ignore the sea view, but there are so many other things we will also miss. The southerly facing garden, drive and garage, and lots of storage.

It has been a vey difficult decision to make, but we want to spend more time travelling before retirement, so taking a lifestyle change to an apartment."
