Babbacombe, Torquay

This PERIOD BAY FRONTED TERRACED HOUSE affords well-proportioned living space typical of its era, complemented externally with an enclosed south easterly facing rear garden. In recent years the house has undergone a program of modernisation and improvement, with the replacement of the kitchen and shower room, now providing a beautifully presented family home with today’s modern convenience, offering a character home tastefully fused with contemporary touches.

The popular Cary Park's are just a short saunter with designated dog exercising and children's play areas, whilst tennis and bowls clubs, medical centres, convenience store, veterinary surgery, a selection of schools and Torquay United football ground can be found nearby. The property also stands convenient for local amenities at Plainmoor, Babbacombe and St Marychurch with its pedestrianised village precinct. The picturesque Babbacombe Downs is within comfortable walking distance overlooking Lyme Bay.

OWNER INSIGHT

"Having previously owned a property close-by and appreciating the benefits and convenience of the area I really didn't want to move too far when I last moved, as everything that I have needed can be found almost on the doorstep, with the parade of shops in nearby Reddenhill Road as well as the scenic Cary Park and picturesque Babbacombe Downs all within a short walk. As soon as I viewed this property I knew that I had found the right home for me and once I had the opportunity of completing my enhancements I have since been very happy living here. Due to a change in life plans it is with a heavy heart that I am now looking to sell but I know that any prospective new owners will be warmly welcomed to Windermere Road and I am sure they too will find this to be a lovely new home for them."
