OWNERS INSIGHT

"Living in our bungalow in Babbacombe, Torquay is a real pleasure, combining comfort, convenience and a wonderful sense of ease. One of the biggest advantages is that the property is completely on the flat, with no hills to navigate, making everyday life effortless and accessible. Babbacombe itself offers a relaxed coastal atmosphere while still being close to local shops, cafes, scenic walks and excellent transport links. The bungalow has been fully refurbished throughout, meaning it offers modern living with complete peace of mind. All electrics and plumbing have been renewed, along with the installation of a new boiler to ensure efficient, reliable heating and hot water. The brand-new kitchen is both stylish and practical, perfect for daily use or entertaining, while the new bathroom has been finished to a high standard with a fresh, contemporary feel. New flooring runs throughout the property, complemented by newly plastered walls that give every room a clean, bright finish."
