Owner's Insight

"My late mum bought the property when newly built in the mid 1970s, so the flat has only been in our family ownership. Initially, the flat was my mum's home, but over more recent years has been a rental investment to a wonderful long term tenant.

The location is exceptional, just a short walk to the Babbacombe Downs, Theatre, shops, and restaurants."
