OWNERS INSIGHT

"Bought in 2006 & completely refurbished in 2022, this quirky Fisherman's cottage, now has the perfect mixture of character & charm, combined with more modern, open plan living. It is very low maintenance & has a lovely, sunny, private courtyard at the back. Babbacombe Downs is literally at the end of the road & it is only a 2 minute level walk to the local shops. We have decided to downsize from our current home now our children have flown the nest & it makes sense to sell this at the same time. As the cottage is currently a holiday let, it can be sold with no onward chain."
