Owners Insight
As a family we moved into the house in 1963. One of the delights of the property for my mum and dad was the large garden which attracted the sun nearly all day. The layout of West Hill Avenue and adjacent roads meant that Gardens backed onto each other and formed something like a big enclosed Meadow. Dad soon grew to love gardening and once retired would spend all day in the garden tending his flowers, fruit and vegetables. The kitchen faces East allowing sun to stream through in the morning, then in the afternoon the sun moved around to shine into the west facing living room making it feel warm and relaxing. Living on Westhill Avenue meant it was just five minutes walk away to the shops and other amenities in Plainmoor, buses to the Willows for 'big' shops and to the strand for the delights of the harbour-side and sea front. The house, garden and Plainmoor gave mum & dad and latterly myself, a safe space to live with friends, neighbours and amenities within easy reach.

Our Area
Torquay is nestled on the warm South Devon coast being one of three towns along with Paignton and Brixham which form the natural east facing harbour of Torbay, sheltered from the English Channel. Torbay's wide selection of stunning beaches, picturesque coastline, mild climate and recreational facilities reinforce why it has rightfully earned the renowned nickname of the English Riviera.
