Ashburton marble inlays in the mantelpiece carving. Plasterwork to the
ceilings is exquisite with a carefully sourced ceiling rose that also features
the grape sconces as detailed in the cornice work. The reception hall includes
all the original panelled doors, with door pediments and the double door
opening leading to the kitchen/breakfast room is also pedimented. A large
south west facing sun terrace leads directly from the sitting room French
window.

**Owners Insight**
"This has been our home for the past six very happy years. Only our decision
to move closer to our daughter in Surrey has resulted in our lovely apartment
being offered for sale at this time. We will surely and sadly miss the close
walking proximity of the Wellswood village shops, the beachfront at Meadfoot,
Torquay harbour, the local theatres and numerous restaurants, coffee shops and
bars.
Terracina is a professionally managed community with a lovely group of
neighbours. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time here and met many new friends.
It is always peaceful and being able to spend so much outdoor time on our
large terrace with its beautiful uninterrupted views across to the Warberries
and beyond has been a most pleasurable experience. "
