Location, location, location is otter bliss

A new seaside pad with a million pound price tag has been snapped up - by a family of otters. The prime site at Living Coasts, Torquay’s coastal zoo and aquarium, overlooks Beacon Cove and Tor Bay.

Bradley’s Estate Agents Area Manager Darren Hole commented: “This is a prime location with stunning panoramic views, convenient for the harbour and for town centre shops. The grounds are perfect for al fresco dining - and there’s lots of local wildlife!”

The single-storey accommodation includes a bedroom and lounge area with a porch. The grounds feature two swimming pools, lawns, rock garden and stream. The timber-framed, pitched roof structure, built by local craftsmen, is well-insulated and eco-friendly, with excellent security.

Darren added: “It’s a prime site on the English Riviera – it has to be worth a million pounds plus!”

The property has just been taken on by four young Asian short-clawed otters that have come from Living Coasts’ sister zoo, Newquay Zoo in Cornwall.

“In their keepers they even have their very own liveried staff at their beck and call and all the fish they can eat!”
