Part-exchange to townhouse living at Torre Marine

Home buyers are taking advantage of Barratt’s part exchange deal to move up to a stunning townhouse at the developer’s flagship Torre Marine site in Torquay.

Kim and Richard Feakins part exchanged to a former show house at the development, and they are delighted with their new family home.

“We relocated from New Zealand a couple of years ago and, although we were already living in Torquay, we wanted to be closer to all the amenities,” said Kim Feakins. “We fell in love with the Countess townhouse and couldn’t believe how quickly we were able to move with Barratt’s part exchange offer.”

The four-storey Countess enjoys a crescent-style location at Torre Marine. Features include a lounge, a large attic room with sea views, master bedroom, two double bedrooms, study/bedroom, kitchen/diner and utility room.

“We really love our new house because it is so spacious and every floor seems to have a unique personality,” Kim continued. “The ground floor has a kitchen/diner with doors to the garden, where we have decking and a beautiful water fountain.

“On the first floor there is a lounge with a balcony – we can see the town’s hot air balloon quite clearly – and an en-suite master bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a dressing table.

“We have two children, a boy and a girl, and we’ve turned the top floor room into a games area for them. The accommodation is really flexible, and we also use this room as a bedroom for guests,” Kim continued.

“Torre Marine has a wonderful location. We’re close to the shops and town centre and we often walk to the cinema. I come from New Zealand but I love living in Devon as it’s so pretty. This really is a perfect place for our family,” she concluded.

Now in the second phase of development, Torre Marine offers apartments and houses with one, two, three or four bedrooms. Current availability includes a selection of townhouses with prices starting from £204,950.

Torre Marine nestles away from the tourist traps, yet it is only a 15-minute walk to the beach, marina and town centre. The railway station is also close by.
