feel yet is extremely convenient for Torquay’s amenities, being less than a mile from the town centre and sea
front.

Residents Association Ltd (which owns the estate grounds) which comprises approximately 2 acres and
features an authentic Victorian Grotto set in small woodland with a pond, winding pathways and parkland.

two floors. First floor entrance level has an open plan living room, with patio doors leading to private patio and
garden, there are two good sized bedrooms, bathroom and utility room on the ground floor level.
