Owner Insight

"We bought the house in 2022 when we moved up from Cornwall. The house was perfect for our family, with a downstairs shower room that was ideal for our elderly parents. The back garden is great for family barbeques, and the summer house and vegetable patch have been very well used. The front patio/garden is a bonus as you can sit out on a sunny evening.

The house is ideally situated for walking to into the town centre and up to Babbacombe, and is also close to schools, and there is a local shop just around the corner.
We will be sad to leave the house but it’s time to downsize and we won’t be moving far. We will be staying in Torquay and can honestly say its been a pleasure living in Chatsworth Road with lovely neighbours."
