Sellers' Insight

“We fell in love with Moorview Crescent from the moment it was being built, particularly appreciating the quality of construction by a small local development created by two brothers whose care and passion for the project were evident throughout. Whilst we may be slightly biased, we truly believe our position is one of the finest on the crescent, enjoying green space to the side and rear, together with open views towards Dartmoor.

The house has proved wonderfully easy to maintain and economical to run, benefitting from low energy costs thanks to the solar installation and impressive EPC ‘A’ rating. Marldon is a fantastic village community with pubs, shops, a church and popular primary school, whilst remaining perfectly placed for easy access to both the South Hams and Tor Bay. Leaving our cherished home is bittersweet, but we are excited for our next chapter and downsizing to a coastal apartment.”
