OWNERS INSIGHT
"Our parents happily lived in the bungalow for 32 years, enjoying their large sunny gardens and looking after the abundance of shrubs and flowers. They thrived in a supportive close knit community with friends, neighbours and the local shops, post office, vet and hairdresser. The property is situated in a quiet residential area, a short stroll from the historic and beautiful Brunel Woods, community café, shops, schools and bus stops to Torquay town centre, harbour and further afield. Also within walking distance to Watcombe beach and coastal paths. Being in this perfect location enabled our parents to live full, varied and active lives in their home that they loved."
