Sellers Insight

"My mother in law has lived at Homecombe house for nearly nine years now, we thought the location was ideal for her being just a stones throw away from Babbacombe Downs, Local shops, cafes and the doctors.

The flat itself is lovely and bright with views over the gardens and glimpses of the sea towards Lyme Bay, the communal areas are brilliant for the social aspect, if you wanted to get involved they do coffee mornings and different evening activities. It gave us piece of mind knowing she was in Homecombe house but she has now made the difficult decision to move into a home with extra care facilities."
