OWNERS INSIGHT

"Over the past four years we have re-designed and modernised the whole house, with the larger work including a replacement slate roof, full re-wire, kitchen and bathroom upgrades. There is still further potential for new owners to place their own stamp, and in particular the loft storage area would provide a perfect walk-in dressing room, hobbies area, or kids secret den. The house is just too big for us now, and hopefully new owners can get full use of the space. We love the location, which has provided us with a lifestyle, so plan to downsize nearby. Walking the dog, we can be on Babbacombe Downs, Cary Park, or Walls Hill within a 15 minute leisurely stroll."
