Owners Insight

"Our association with Torquay has spanned three generations with the family enjoying many happy and memorable stays.

We bought the property in 1999 as one of the original owners when the historic Hotel Riviera was turned into a residential development. Our children were very young at the time and have grown up visiting Torquay and the beautiful surrounding Riviera. The property is in a truly fantastic position overlooking the harbour and the marina and benefits from a garage and a dedicated parking space behind electric gates, but only a few minutes walk away from the numerous attractions on the seafront.

Although one of the smaller homes, No 2 offers very well planned and spacious accommodation. We also fitted a new kitchen last year.

As our family has grown up, we feel now is the time to move on and sell."
