Seller's Insight

"Our parents bought the apartment thirty years ago when downsizing from their large house on Dartmoor for a change of lifestyle, which is certainly what they enjoyed. They loved the low maintenance aspect of the block, the beautiful gardens without the worry of up keeping them, and they could travel knowing their home was safe and secure with the management taking exceptional care of the building and grounds."
