EPC Rating: C OWNERS INSIGHT "Torquay has been a second home to the family for more than 40 years. Number 6 The Riviera has been a much loved and cared for family ‘home away from home’ since 1999, when we were among the first to take up residence when the development launched. The panoramic views of the harbour, out across the English Riviera and its enchanting sunsets or stormy seas beyond are as breathtaking now as they ever were- you could never tire of them. As well as these, we will miss waking to the sounds of seagulls, barbecues in the garden with family and friends, skimming stones and dips in the bay at Beacon Cove, the glimpses of our boat in the marina and the short stroll, from our elevated vantage point above the town, to our favourite seafood restaurant, Number 7."
