St Marychurch, Torquay

Owls Nest is a charming COTTAGE STYLE MAISONETTE forming part of a small, select development, enviably positioned just a short level stroll from the vibrant St Marychurch 'village' precinct. A private courtyard and entrance open to the accommodation arranged in a traditional design over two floors, whilst outside is an allocated parking space and a further private garden to the rear.

St Marychurch boasts a vibrant pedestrianised shopping precinct and a host of additional amenities easily accessible including TSB Bank, Churches, Post Office, supermarkets, bus services, doctors' and dentist surgeries. The scenic Babbacombe Downs can be found within close proximity where the wooded hillside leads down to the shingle beaches of Oddicombe and Babbacombe.

SELLER'S INSIGHT

"Owls Nest has been an enjoyable home purchased eight years ago through John Lake. The property has offered a pleasant lifestyle, provided the comfort of a small community yet with the independence of a cottage having its own private entrance and garden areas. From the rear of the property, on clear day are distant views of Dartmoor. A short walk away are the picturesque coastal heights of Babbacombe Downs and being so close to St Marychurch shopping precinct is a distinct asset. The property is bright and airy, the high ceiling add character for a modern style property with only two owners since 2003. I'm sure the next owner will find Owls Nest as much an enjoyable home."
