OWNER'S INSIGHT

"Babbacombe is a special part of Torquay, with everything a family could need on the doorstep. We have beautiful parks and beaches to exercise our dogs, and for anyone with young children there is a selection of schools nearby. The house offers a lovely home, but sadly having only been here for short period it is apparent we are not going to be able to enjoy it as we had hoped and for health reasons having to move to a property more suited long term to our needs."
