**Owner Insight**
"Already living in Torquay I already knew that I wanted my next home to be
nestled on the harbourside, due to enjoying the beautiful harbour and marina
views, the afternoon and evening sunshine and also appreciating the
convenience of the location – with some fantastic restaurants and bars almost
on the doorstep. I was attracted to Royal Marina Court for some time, having
unfortunately previously missed an opportunity to purchase there, as it had
all of the benefits that I was seeking and yet was just far enough away from
the hustle and bustle to enable peaceful enjoyment. As soon as I saw this
apartment come onto the market I knew that it was to be the next home for me,
but I also knew that I would have to move quickly to secure it. Thankfully I
was successful in purchasing the apartment and I have thoroughly enjoyed my
time living here, enhancing the accommodation and making it an even more
special place to live. Family commitments are now leading me to look to sell
the property, with an extremely 'heavy heart', but this will enable any new
prospective owners to appreciate the benefits of living by the sea on the
English Riviera.
There is so much that I have loved about the property, from the convenience of
having fine restaurants on the doorstep, the outstanding views and the large
roof terrace for private entertaining or relaxation. These will certainly be
missed when I leave Royal Marina Court, but I will be taking a host of fond
memories with me. "
