Sellers Insight

"The house was bought by our Mum in January 1997. It was a return to St Marychurch as we’d lived in St Margarets Close back in the 70’s/80’s. Mum was very well loved and a well known member of the community and the Catholic church, she will be sorely missed.

Although there is no off road parking, the street parking is adequate and its rare that you can’t find a space to park.

It was a wonderful family home for us and we still love that area of Torquay."
