Owner Insight

"My late husband found the property at Torwood Court and we spent 30 happy years making it our home. I have enjoyed sitting on our balcony overlooking the beautiful gardens and talking to our wonderful neighbours. Unfortunately due to ill health I am unable to continue living alone and with a heavy heart I have decided to sell."
