OWNER INSIGHT

"When I was looking for a property, by chance I came across Royal Marina Court in Torquay which offered me a beautiful 3 bed, 2 bath apartment of the highest quality opposite the Marina with permit parking through Torbay Council just across the road on an annual charge. The features of the apartment reminded me of our first ever luxury apartment with features one could only expect from an elegant Grade 11 listed mansion. Sadly my health has continued to deteriorate so I have decided to move closer to family but I will very much miss my time at Royal Marina Court and hope that the future owners will appreciate it as much as I have, although the property does not have a sea view it does benefit from a lovely courtyard garden to sit out in and is also secure for any pet owners."
