Owner's Insight

"It was a summer's day almost 50 years ago, when my parents gazed in amazement at the beautiful view over Tor Bay, as they drove downhill in the Warberries. They were passing a half-built block of flats, where the site manager escorted my father up a ladder to assess the stunning panorama from this prime location. They had the pick of the block and chose No.8, in a position second to none. That was it! The deal was done, and the rest is history, as they say!

The flat is spacious, light and airy with a south - south west facing aspect. For many years it was a family holiday home and more recently has been a long-term rental. We will be leaving with a heavy heart, but will have many wonderful memories."
