SELLERS INSIGHT

"My father bought Flat 5 from new in 2008, and thoroughly enjoyed his 16 years living in Cary Park Lodge. He relished the convenience of having St Marychurch Shops Cafes and businesses just around the corner, and being a short level walk from Babbacombe Downs and Tessier Gardens. The views across to Cary Park itself meant there was always something to see and gave a sense of life to the area, whilst the mature trees of the park and surrounds provided a lovely out look as the seasons changed."
