Owner's Insight

"When the opportunity to purchase Overcrag came up in 2014, we knew we had to make it our home. We were already living on Rock End, but there are only a select few properties with such a dramatic position benefiting from uninterupted sea views. The building was in its original state, and over the years we have enhanced it to meet our needs, but appreciate with a house such as this it is the plot which is the attraction, and a new owner may wish to redesign to their own requirements.

In our opinion the location is unrivalled in Torbay. Not only do we enjoy the outstanding views, but we are a matter of minutes' walk to restaurants, theatres, Torquay Marina, or Meadfoot Beach. We are fortunate to own a second property and therefore can offer Overcrag chain free."
