Owners Insight

"When we were looking for a new home we were seeking a quality home with good room proportions, in a safe and tranquil location. Having lived and worked in Torbay for many years we knew that Livermead was an ideal location for us and so focused our search in this area. We arranged to view this bungalow and as soon as we walked up the driveway and stood on the front porch we immediately knew that we had found our new home. The extended living space offered us the space required, the rear garden beautifully landscaped and an ideal size, backing onto the fields and woodland of the Cockington Valley ensured the tranquility that we were looking for. The breathtaking sea views into Torbay were the icing on the cake for us!

We have thoroughly enjoyed our time living here but it is now time for us to start a new chapter in our lives and so with a heavy heart have decided to sell our lovely home, enabling new owners to enjoy everything that this beautiful bungalow offers them."
