Sellers Insight

"Born in the UK our aunt had a wonderful life, travelled widely and even emigrated for many years to both Canada and Australia, but always knew that one day she would return ‘home’ and settle in the UK. When she made the decision to return what better place to live than Torquay. She was attracted to The Atrium due to it providing modern living in an established setting, on one of Torquay’s renowned seven hills and enjoying views over the surrounding area to the sea at Lyme Bay. She also liked the galleried landings of the building overlooking the central Atrium seating area. The gated nature of the building was ideal for her as she knew that the apartment was always safe and secure if she went away on her travels. The space that the apartment provided was ideal, as the large principle room allowed her to live and dine comfortably. Our aunt enjoyed almost 16 happy years living at The Atrium and I know that she will hope that any new owner enjoys living here as much as she did."
