Owner Insight

“Having previously lived in Torquay, when I was looking to move I spent a lot of time studying the town considering the location of my next home and realised that Babbacombe is a lovely district offering me everything I was looking for. I found this bungalow, in a convenient yet quiet location, and it is a move I have never regretted over twenty years later. I have found the property to be extremely comfortable, with a good level of accommodation and still offering great potential to enable any new owner to enhance further to their own taste and style. The gardens are tiered and, as I am not a gardener, they have been mainly laid to patio for ease of maintenance although can be made more attractive for the gardening enthusiast! The property has been a very happy home for me for the last 25 years but reluctantly I now feel that the time is right for me to downsize, although I will definitely want to remain in the Babbacombe area due to the conveniences that the location offers me."
