OWNERS INSIGHT
"21 All Saints’ Road has been in the ownership of our family for over 70 years. We have found it an excellent place to be, safe, and in close proximity to some of our national geographical treasures. A short walk to Babbacombe Downs, with its superb view across Lyme Bay, and thence to Oddicombe Beach, with its iconic cliff railway, which has been awarded Blue Flag status every year for decades. Bovey Tracey, the Gateway to Dartmoor, is only a 30 minute drive away. Devon’s two cities, Plymouth and Exeter, are within easy reach, and the motorway network can be joined at the latter in less than half an hour. There are excellent local shops, one at the end of the road, and Plainmoor, the home of Torquay United, is a 5 minutes’ walk away."
