Speaking about the property, the owners said: "Maidencombe House is a beautiful development and a  wonderful community of people. There is so much that we love  about living here, from the stunning gardens and swimming  pool, to the beautiful walks nearby, and garage parking. 
"The views are obviously one of the major benefits, and we still find  ourselves being drawn to the large windows and balcony to  enjoy the fabulous outlook. The size of the apartment is also so  much larger than others, and trying to find something similar has  been challenging!  
"It has been an emotional decision to make, but we are moving  east along the coast to be closer to our family."
11 Maidencombe House is on the market for £485,000. For more details or to arrange a viewing, contact John Lake on 01803 328899, or email property@johnlake.co.uk.
