Sellers Insight

"When I first visited Wellswood Heights I was impressed with the space that each of the apartments offered, and with each of the ground floor apartments having their own private gardens and independent front doors to the outside with no communal areas, it felt almost like living in a bungalow!

As well as the sizeable living space I was also attracted to the fact that not only did the apartment have its own garage, there is also a sizeable & versatile store/workshop beneath. Something that I have never been able to find in any other development.

I have found the location of Wellswood Heights to be ideal for me, just a short walk from the shops and amenities in Wellswood ‘village’ and both the scenic Meadfoot Beach and Torquay’s picturesque harbourside within reasonable walking distance. I have enjoyed many a stroll along the harbourside and returned up the hill via the regular bus service found on nearby on Babbacombe Road."
