" An intriguing DETACHED PROPERTY, aptly named from its origins being the farm house to surrounding apple orchards and still retaining a host of period features of the era. A particular feature is the wonderful oak panelling, which when our company sold the property many years ago to the present family we were informed that it was removed from a demolished ancestral home and installed in the 1920's by the farm owner.

Surrounded by a level garden with a driveway to one side leading to the garage, Brimland Orchard enjoys sunshine throughout the day. Local shops are found in Padacre Road or Barton Hill Road and a bus service runs close by connecting to The Willows shopping centre and the town centre and harbour. Schools are well catered for with a primary in Moor Lane within walking distance and seniors easily accessible. Rail connections to London Paddington are located at Torquay rail station and we now have the new South Devon link road connecting Torbay to Exeter and M5 beyond, perfect for those who commute.
