St Marychurch, Torquay

This PERIOD TERRACED HOUSE stands within the popular district of ST MARYCHURCH a short distance from the pedestrianised shopping precinct, Schools and local bus routes. Presenting a home of great character which our clients have tastefully enhanced, sympathetically retaining the olde world charm over the last fifteen years.

At the top of the hill lies the comprehensive amenities of St Marychurch with wide choice of shops and eateries, whilst the scenic Babbacombe Downs with shingle beaches below is equally accessible. A host of schools are within a short walk, with Priory and St Margarets Primary's on the door step. Numerous leisure and sports clubs are close at hand, with Babbacombe Corinthian Sailing Club at the base of the pedestrian precinct, and Torquay Golf Club virtually a tee shot away.

OWNER INSIGHT

"I purchased 3 Barewell Road fifteen years ago now, when I initially moved here I didn’t know the area very well but stumbled upon Babbacombe and St Marychurch, I can honestly say it was love at first sight especially when I came across the precinct it had a lovely village feel to it and I promised myself that I would buy a house there once mine had sold. When I first entered the cottage I was greeted by a very serene feeling almost like the property wanted to look after you, maybe something to do with the thickness of the walls and the cosy homely feel. I immediately put an offer in and was successful. Our garden provides a brilliant sun trap and BBQ area completely private and very peaceful. My husband and I will miss the cottage but due to family ties we need to move closer to them, we have really enjoyed all the renovation projects and feel we have really improved an already beautiful home and shall miss it and all the neighbours greatly."
