OWNERS INSIGHT "Nearly 27 years ago when we first saw no. 40 Barchington Avenue we immediately realised the property had the versatility to meet our needs.
Extending slightly to accommodate two couples our goal was achieved but the scope remains to reshape the property for many versions.
With a drive on both Swedwell and Barchington it makes off road parking for several vehicles easy.
Easy access to the whole of Torbay and also Newton Abbot makes local travel simpler but having the bus stops nearby also enhances the use of public transport."
