OWNER INSIGHT

“Almost everything we need day to day can be found on the doorstep, with the parade of shops in nearby Reddenhill Road and the St Marychurch pedestrianised precinct. The scenic Cary Park and picturesque Babbacombe Downs with Oddicombe and Babbacombe beaches below, are within a short walk. We have spent over 20 happy years living in this lovely home. With our family now ‘flying the nest’, we feel it is an ideal time for us to downsize. Prospective new owners will find this a great location to live and raise a family."
