Sellers Insight

"My parents purchased this lovely home in December of 1998 and is now only on the market because, sadly they have both passed away. They were incredibly happy here, so much so that I also moved to Torquay 2 years later. For them it was a peaceful sanctuary by the sea following many years of city living. It was made particularly enjoyable because of the friendly residents and the local community. It is rare to find an apartment where every room has an exceptional sea view (including the hallway and even the bathrooms!) natural light floods the property throughout the day as it is fully South facing. For them, the heart of the home was the balcony which was their favourite spot for either a meal, coffee, cheeky G+T or entertaining friends. They loved the convenience of the location - just a short walk to the beach, local shops, restaurants and post office. It was a home filled with laughter, love and lasting friendships and hope the next owners find as much joy here as they did."
