Owner's Insight

"Our parents bought Pippins from the builder when new in the late 1980s when constructed on an old orchard, and has been a cherished home for 36 years. They loved the open views, generous parking, and manageable garden. In their latter years Pippins gave the flexibility to adapt for ground floor living, with disability access and bedroom suite with wet room.

Kingskerswell village provides everything our parents needed day to day including the Coop and medical centre, but also equally convenient for Torquay and Newton Abbot."
