Owners' Insight

"We purchased the house as a new build and were immediately drawn to the high quality of finish, the intimate feel of the small development, and the generous living space the property offers.

Marldon itself is a lovely village and was a big part of our decision to move here. It has a wonderful community feel, with a couple of excellent pub restaurants, a primary school, Church, and local shops all contributing to the friendly village atmosphere.

The location is also incredibly convenient. From Marldon you can reach anywhere in Torbay or the South Hams with ease. As a keen runner, i’ve especially appreciated the abundance of beautiful routes nearby, from peaceful country tracks to stunning coastal paths, all just minutes from the doorstep.

With retirement approaching, we felt the time was right to make a lifestyle move closer to family. As a result, we are fortunate to be able to offer the house to the market chain free."
