Owner Insight

"Mum & Dad sold their hotel and retired to Rougemont Avenue in 1986 and they absolutely adored their home. Our mum was such a keen gardener, and would spend each day all day in the garden if she could, even to the point she was reluctant to ever go away and leave it unattended.

Over their near forty year ownership they saw a lot of change, although many of the direct neighbours seem to have stayed for similar longevity. The convenience of Cadewell is part of what makes it so popular, just a short walk to Torbay Hospital and easy access to schools, The Willows, and arterial roads across or outside the bay.

It will be a sad day when we close the door for the final time, but hope the next owners enjoy as many wonderful memories as our family."
