Owners Insight

"When looking at Ellesmere from the road, you could never imagine the panoramic views from the flat! No matter what the weather or the season, the everchanging views are always interesting and beautiful – from the lush garden below to across Tor Bay!

When we moved to the UK, we selected Torquay as our home as we have relatives in the area. The location of Ellesmere is superb! You can walk into Wellswood and down into town. Hikes along the coast are a few moments away. Now however, we are purchasing a flat in London and need to downsize here in Torquay, we have made many friends here and plan on hosting our Ellesmere friends in our new flat!"
