Owner Insight

"In 1999 when looking to move I wanted to find a house that I could see being my ‘forever home’ and I wanted to ensure that it was in a quiet yet convenient location. Knowing Torquay very well I knew that Cornacre Close would offer me exactly what I was looking for and as soon as I walked through the door I knew that I had found my new home. The property itself was spacious, set within good size gardens and being nestled almost at the head of the close it was tranquil, all points that it still benefits from today. With a good primary school and local shops found within a short stroll as well as the beautiful Cockington Valley just over the hill, I can honestly say that I have thoroughly enjoyed my time living here. The last 26 years living here have been extremely happy for me, but I have now made the difficult decision to downsize. The property will certainly always hold a special place in my heart and I am sure that any new owners will love living here as much as I have done."
