OWNER'S INSIGHT

"Coombe Rise has so many attributes, and for me the location is one of the best. As a dog owner, there are some of the most scenic walks found in Torbay on the doorstep. A wide selection of restaurants are a matter of minutes' walk, and everything the harbour, town and sea front has to offer. The parking is also invaluable for the location so close to the heart of Torquay, where space can be a premium on street with restricted zones. It is a lovely old house and been a good home, but the time has come for me to move on".
