Sellers Insight

"Our mother and father truly loved living in their home at Greenacres for the past 13 years. One of their favourite parts was sitting by the Juliet balcony, watching the squirrels and enjoying the wildlife in the communal gardens. They were part of a warm, welcoming community where neighbours looked out for one another and genuinely enjoyed each other's company.

The location was ideal for them, with all the amenities they needed just a short walk away, including a lovely bakery, post office, and convenience store. The bus stop to Torquay is near the entrance with a further bus stop to Babbacombe a short walk away.

The property is now vacant, but it holds many cherished memories."
